Introduce Yourself!

My name is Charles Carnes and I am in Charlotte, North Carolina
I work as a management consultant and I specialize in change management, organizational effectiveness, and executive coaching. I am here to upgrade my skills and learn more about agile / scrum so that I can be a more valuable resource to my clients. I am looking to learn the core tools and understand how they are related to my current change management tools and models. I also coach a few executives in the software space and want to develop some fluency around their business.
I found you through a colleague who referred me to the Scrum Alliance, which is where I found this class.

I am here to learn all that is Agile in order to most effectively serve my team while expanding my knowledge base.
Most excited about our growing community so that we can advance our skill sets via our interconnectivity and knowledge shares.
Discovered this community after taking the Scrum Master Certification with Agile Bob. Following both emails from both Agile Peter and Agile Bob I found my way here!

Hello all, I am Tommie Styons
From: Raleigh, NC
Why: Primarily, Covid Crazy….Retired from Raleigh Fire Dept and FEMA…need to re-engage my brain
What to learn: Very curious about steam lined project management process that is more inclusive than traditional roles I have filled.
Excited to learn new progressive skills… read Jeff Sutherland book The Art of Doing Twice the Work and was hooked
How did I find: My daughter….works for the Washington Post and serves as the Product Owner on a Scrum Team…she loves the concepts and thought I would enjoy it too.

Tommie, while the book Jeff Sutherland wrote has really helped the Scrum community, I’m not so sure I really like the title. Check out this #AgileDailyDose video for why:

In my experience, those changes really help ScrumMasters and teams be more successful.

Laura, when I hold trainings for my clients, I am often surprised by how few people really understand how Agile came about in the first place. We have a short (free!) course available with some background. Go to https://agileforall.com/courses and take the “Discovery of Agile” course. I’m pretty sure you will find some interesting nuggets there. You did say you wanted to keep learning, right??? 🙂
