Long ago in a galaxy far far away I worked as a software developer and then a team leader in a highly pressurised environment. Long duration projects would often not be suitable by the time clients received them. Months were taken on large specifications without any creation of products being done and often developers would work in an isolated way. Trying to glue components together at the last minute.

But there was a solution.

Scrum is a lightweight framework that allows individuals and organisations deliver value incrementally and iteratively meaning stakeholder can receive products quickly and feedback back on them in a small timeframe.

As part of my own Agile journey I moved from being a conventional team leader to a Scrum Master and now I am proud to say I am a Certified Scrum Trainer with the Scrum Alliance. And I believe in the framework. Which is why I'm running Certified Scrum Master courses.
