Outcome driven Scrum Master with over 14 years accelerating value delivery by increasing productivity, reducing inefficiencies and establishing low friction processes based on Agile methodologies. I partner with the business to enable the team to focus on quick wins. I am successful because I embrace ambiguity to drive innovation. What’s unique about my approach is my focus on outcomes and foster teams that know the business intimately.Key SkillsScrum Master | Coaching & Mentoring | Agile and SAFE® Leadership | Scrum | Kanban | SAFe® | Servant Leader | Digital Transformation | Release Train Engineer | Strategic Planning | DevOps | Innovation | Change Management | Program Management | Problem Solving | Requirements Management | Verbal and Written Communication | Lean Agile Methodology | Jira | Jira Align | Confluence | ServiceNow |MS Project| Azure | DevOps | Full Stack Development |.NET | Micro Services | API NEED FOR SPEED – I am tenacious in my pursuit of delivering value for the customer early and often. I believe this starts with limiting the things a team needs to focus on. I have worked with my teams and the product owners to relentlessly keep things simple and maximize the amount of work that doesn’t get done. DARE TO COMPARE – I believe there is much to be achieved by replicating what the best of the best are doing. I facilitated a “Power Hour” weekly book club with my teams to review what the best companies around the world. Within one year we; a) migrated to a cloud based source management b) implemented configuration and deployment “pipeline” automation, c) instituted 100% code review, d) used trunk-based check-ins and e) doubled our production deployment frequency. INNOVATION – I believe that teams need to be given time to innovate and I selfishly protect this time. One innovation the team delivered was a graphical Network Editor which allowed the user to view the impact of configuration choices reducing the errors by 30% and being dubbed by the manager as the “innovation of the year”.LIFE-LONG LEARNER – I am a life-long learner seeking opportunities to apply emerging technologies to gain competitive advantage and encourage my teams to do the same.PAY-IT-FORWARD – I am passionate about STEM and the need to help our youth grasp the exciting possibilities before them. I have been a leader and assistant leader for Boy Scouts for over 25 years and work hard to make merit badges fun like electrocuting hot dogs for lunch.
