Hello everyone

Hi Everyone! I am currently a Sr. Project Manager and hold a PMP. I am looking to get Scrum certified to better assist my department and elevate my career. Looking forward to the training and meeting new folks in the agile community.
I learned of the certification through online research. The schedule worked great for me and I look forward to the training with Peter. His background is impressive to me.

Kenneth Brown. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. I graduated from the University of Michigan. Go Blue!
Woodstock, GA (Metro Atlanta, GA)
I am looking forward to exploring how I can become a successful Scrum Master and add to my toolbox of skills and experiences! I am a former enlisted and naval officer, systems analyst and Certified Financial Planner (CFP). Today, I am an executive sales and business coach. I show small business owners and entrepreneurs how to leverage the web (and soon AI) to improve sales and profitability. Consultative selling is my superpower, passion and purpose! If you cannot sell, then you do not have a business. And, if you do not run your business profitably then you will not be in business for very long. I love coaching and had my first experience at 14 years old with my younger brother and we won a softball championship together! I am looking forward to leveraging my talent, strengths and experience, guiding productive agile teams and leading companies to create great products and services.
I am excited to join a community of professionals where I can learn, grow and build personal and professional relationships that will last a lifetime!
I joined Mentor Me and am looking forward to embracing the Scrum Master experience!

One of my children got her PhD at University of Michigan, so yes, Go Blue!!!

Who are you?
– I’m Tim Madden, an analytics developer at Bank of Oklahoma.
Where are you located?
– Oklahoma
Why are you here? What are you looking to learn?
– I’m looking for a high-quality, brief book about Agile for beginners. We have a tiny team with soon to be 4 people total. My bosses aren’t on board, so it has to be quick if I can even convince them to read it. For example, I’ve recommended automated testing, and they aren’t interested. It seems like double the work to them!
What are you the most excited about in terms of our growing community?
– I just got here. Initially, I’m just looking for the book recommendation.
And, how did you find us?
– I googled “Agile Forum”
Thanks in advance if anyone has time to respond.

- They call me Marisol Rivera. “They” meaning, mostly EVERYONE. Close family and friends call me Mari. I will leave it up to you, what you’d like to call me.
- Located in Florida. I’d like to think I am normal but is anyone living in Florida “normal”.
- Learning fascinates me and I am interested in Agile. I believe it is a good combination with my engineering degree.
- I am excited about sharing information. I am also pivoting my career. I enjoy reinventing myself every few years.
- I was highly recommended to take Peter’s course. The enthusiasm that was shared from the person that had taken his SCRUM course was so contagious. I had wanted to take the course and I was immediately sold on it. Registered the same day.

1. Travis Dorso.
2. Based in Palm Beach, Florida.
3. My primary goal is personal and professional growth; I aim to stay competitive. I view this platform as an opportunity to unlock new skills and enhance and refine my existing skill set, preparing me to contribute more effectively to whomever I choose to be my employer and provide me the opportunity to do so.
4. The prospect of engaging with seasoned Scrum practitioners and professionals from diverse backgrounds excites me the most. Having spent considerable time in a somewhat insular professional environment, I’m eager to expand my horizons and integrate broader perspectives into my approach.
5. My journey to discovering this community was driven by thorough research and careful consideration. Recognizing the need to step out of my comfort zone, I decided it was time to take the leap. Despite my introverted nature, I have a deep appreciation for learning from passionate individuals who excel in their fields.
