I am passionate about the people side of change and bringing meaningful change into organisations, with a focus on helping teams and organisations deliver customer value in a sustainable way. I have worked with a range of organisations in a range of industries; from small digital agencies to big corporate organisations. Aside from this I volunteer my services for charitable organisations.
I started my Agile journey in a Scrum team with QA/ Test as my main expertise. I soon came to realise the benefit of being part of the bigger picture and getting a deep understanding of the Software Development Lifecyle and the end to end value stream.
Over the years I enhanced my skills and knowledge by taking on different roles and responsibilities across a variety of disciplines such as Scrum Master, Product Ownership, Business Analysis, Service Delivery Management, Agile & Lean coaching and Professional Facilitation. I have guided organisations along their journeys towards business agility, allowing them to inspect and adapt and focus on customer value.
Aside from working in the trenches with organisations and teams, I am an Accredited Kanban Trainer (AKT) with Kanban University. I am a former ICAgile Instructor, DevOps Institute trainer and ambassador, a Scrum.org Professional Scrum Trainer (PST). I still work on a contract basis for scrum.org.
I am the co-author of the following books:
Adopting Agile Across Borders published by Apress,
Mastering Collaboration in a Product Team also published by Apress, and
Facilitating Professional Scrum Teams, published as part of the Professional Scrum series by Pearson/ Addison Wesley.

Abstract
Expect an interactive session where we turn insights into action, celebrate the day’s “flow efficiencies” (a.k.a. great conversations), and ensure no brilliant idea gets stuck in the queue. Let’s close the loop, share the wins, and keep the momentum going beyond Kanban Edge!
