Lyssa Adkins - I am a Certified Scrum Trainer and Coach.  I came to Scrum as a project leader with over 15 years’ project management expertise.  Even with all that experience, nothing prepared me for the power and simplicity of Scrum done well.

My Scrum experience, along with my professional coaching and training abilities, gives me the perspective needed to guide teams and leaders to harness Scrum as the competitive advantage weapon it was meant to be.  I know the transformation path is rocky.  As a former large-scale program manager and director of Project Management Offices, I have lived it myself.  This makes me uniquely able to help others translate their existing world to the Scrum world.

For the last four years, I have been coaching teams in the financial services industry and coaching coaches who represent the gamut of Scrum  implementations, from small consulting firms to the giants of industry.

I believe that Scrum is more than an alternate project management methodology and am passionate about deepening the roles in Scrum to help it move into its fullest expression.

I hold an alphabet-soup of certifications: Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), Certified Scrum Coach (CSC), Project Management Professional (PMP) and Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB). I am also actively training in the methods and practices of Co-Active Coaching.
