Hello all!
- My name is Jennifer Lopez. I tend to go by Jen, just so there isn’t too much confusion between myself and the other Jennifer Lopez.
- I’m located in Summerville, SC (in the Charleston area).
- I am here because I am a newer Scrum Master looking to further my knowledge. I am looking to connect some dots about Scrum and get a better overall understanding.
- I am excited learn from others with much more experience.
- I found this course through Scrum Alliance while researching a few different CSM courses.
-
I’m glad you cleared up the potential confusion! Well done!

- I am Oaikhena Amaize. Some call me O but I promise you can’t get it wrong (Think of it as an exercise in continuous improvement) 😁

- Hi, I’m Angela Lawrence!
- I’m located in Pennsylvania – about an hour outside Philadelphia in a tiny town that nobody knows!
- I’ve worked in companies that follow agile methodology, and I’ve worked in companies that haven’t. Of the two, I know which I want to align myself with. I want to position myself to be employed by well-structure companies that are already employing agile methodologies. At the very least, I want to use agile techniques in my new job to be a better team mate and leader!
- The human aspect! I’m an engineer and we tend to look at the project, rather than the people.
- My friend recommended Scrum Alliance and that brought me to this course!
