Pekin, Illinois

I was hired at the start of Pekin Insurance’s agile transformation. Teams had not been formed yet, and there was a lot of confusion about what agile was, and how it was to be practiced. Through building relationships across the organization, providing coaching and training to leadership and teams, and coaching initial teams and their management, we grew the agile practice to include all of IT, several IT/Business blended teams, and teams outside of IT including enterprise security and shared services. • Advised on the creation of agile teams across the organization. We created over 20 agile teams encompassing all of IT as well as IT/Business blended teams. • Responsible for Agile Training for teams, managers, and executives. I developed and delivered course content for agile and scrum fundamentals, agile games, team design, product ownership, and process flows. • Responsible for coaching 20 teams while serving as the scrum master for several different teams across my tenure. This included product teams, shared services, dev-ops, and enterprise security teams.
