Julie teaches Agile the way it was meant to be: pragmatic, not dogmatic. Agile isn’t the goal — business agility is. The most important learning happens beyond the Scrum Guide and Agile Manifesto — where real-world techniques, mindsets, and strategies enable true business agility, not just framework compliance.
Her Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) students don’t just pass the exam — the vast majority crush it on their first try, armed with skills they can use immediately. Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) students learn how to apply Scrum with a real business lens — no exam, just serious skills that drive customer value and business impact.
Julie brings sharp, real-world leadership experience across industries, helping businesses move faster, adapt smarter, and lead change — not just survive it. As a Certified Scrum Trainer® (CST), PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP), Accredited Kanban Trainer (AKT), and Project Management Professional (PMP), she bridges Scrum, Kanban, Agile, predictive, and hybrid approaches — empowering organizations no matter where they are on their journey.
She’s been shaping Agile practices since 2004, learning directly from early thought leaders and continuously evolving her approach to meet the demands of today’s fast-moving, innovation-driven business world.
A former president and board member of the Agile Project Leadership Network (APLN), Julie combines deep credentials with a refreshingly real-world style — blending proven expertise with a passion for helping people and organizations unlock their full potential.
Julie’s mission is clear: ditch the dogma, fuel real agility, and turn Agile knowledge into business-changing results.
