About
Amanda Clarke has enjoyed a varied career from teaching people to use software to business analysis on IT project delivery to Scrum Master and Agile Coach. Currently at CBA, Australia's largest retail bank she is in her seventh year of delivering technology value using agile practices. She enjoys introducing business and delivery teams to the advantages of creating a shared and transparent view of the work at hand as well as the creativity of highly collaborative teams.
Amanda began her agile journey via conversations with colleagues followed closely by reading recommended books. Fortunately her organisation offers a number of agile coaches available for quick questions or more intensive day to day coaching. She has worked hard to learn and implement basic practices such as story breakdown and refinement, sprint and release planning, making retrospectives pay, stand-ups and creating effective definitions of done.
More recently, she has been challenged to teach business and delivery team members new to agile how to get the most out of agile, while still learning herself. She has been co-facilitating Introductions to Agile, Scrum Fundamentals, Introduction to Agile for Product Owners and runs a fortnightly scrum master bootcamp.
