I came to Agile as a project leader with over 15 years project management expertise. Even with all that experience, nothing prepared me for the power and simplicity of Agile done well.My Agile experience, along with my professional coaching and training abilities, gives me the perspective needed to guide teams and Agile leaders to harness Agile as the competitive advantage weapon it was meant to be. I know the transformation path is rocky. As a former large-scale program manager and director of Project Management Offices, I have lived it myself. This makes me uniquely able to help others translate their existing world to the Agile world.I am the author of the Coaching Agile Teams book, which was published in 2010 and still regularly enjoys a spot in the top 10 agile books.I believe that Agile is more than an alternate project management methodology and am passionate about deepening the roles in Agile - specifically Agile Coach and Agile Manager - to help Agile move into its fullest expression.I hold an alphabet-soup of certifications: Certified Scrum Coach (CSC), ICAgile in Expert Facilitation & Agile Coaching (ICE-AC), Project Management Professional (PMP) and Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB). I am also a deeply trained professional coach: Co-Active Coach, Organization and Relationship Systems Certified Coach (ORSC) and International Coach Federation Associate Certified Coach (ACC).
