About
Title: Scrum Master
Simon Bowden. First started using Scrum at the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre in 2011 and moved from full-time scientific software engineer to Scrum Master. Became a CSM with Mike Cohn in 2014. After 13 years at the CCDC started work in January 2015 as a Scrum Master with the Video Business Unit in Alcatel-Lucent (soon to become Nokia), usually working with 2 teams, occasionally 3. Moving from a small charitable software house to a massive multinational corporation has been a steep learning curve regarding coaching teams, estimation, release planning and hard deadlines. And there’s still a lot to learn!
