About Sam Harrell

I have a passion for the Agile mindset and implementing Scrum and other Agile frameworks at companies because I've seen the magic it does in helping teams and organizations actually deliver, be predictable, and get things done! I have often been referred to as an Agile Nerd. With this passion comes infectious energy and positivity. Beyond being able to coach teams, Directors, VP's, and organizations as a whole to adopt the Agile mindset and Scrum frameworks, I am also highly effective at delivering projects from end to end with full transparency and visibility to stakeholders. With these skills, I naturally aid in transforming company cultures into phycological safe, and fun places to work. My personality brings something special to the workplace. There is something inherently fun and infectious in getting things done and delivered!

I was surprised at how quickly I was able to learn the software and how much of my guest services skills I was able to use. On average you are assigned 14 service ticket in a day to close out, and most days I was able to complete my 14 tickets with a few hours left in the day for follow ups on previous tickets and to help my colleagues if they were behind. I never thought I would be happy working for an IT company with my background in Event Planning and Guest Services, but I had the time of my life and met some of the greatest people working for ConnectWise.
