About

Rob Montilla

My Agile journey started in 2006 when I was introduced to Extreme Programming practices as demonstrated and trained by Menlo Innovations in Ann Arbor, MI.  From then on, I was hooked on using Agile disciplines as the most effective approach for product/project delivery.  Teams I led at Entertainment Publications and Borders Group transformed to use Agile methods for highly successful delivery.

At Polk, I started regular use of Scrum practices in full.  Using a combination of Agile/Scrum knowledge and my leadership skills, I have regularly performed as a servant leader Scrum Master, Agile/Scrum Coach and evangelist at clients including Comerica and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.
