About

Title: Founding Partner

Brent Barton is one of the earliest Certified Scrum Trainers and has been implementing Scrum in organizations since 2005.

As an Agile Practitioner, I first started using XP techniques in the late 1990s on a team where we focused on pairing. 

I use Scrum in my everyday work and help others by applying agility, pragmatism, persistence, organizational constructs, and process disciplines to help organizations outperform their status quo.  My executive management background and over two decades of experience in software technology give him the ability to provide valuable guidance on engineering capability and organizational proficiency.

As a consultant and trainer, I have helped small, medium and Fortune 100 organizations overcome intractable problems and successfully deliver mission-critical solutions. I have used Agile practices since the late 1990s as a Chief Technology Officer, development manager, project manager, software developer, ScrumMaster, Product Owner, coach, consultant, and trainer.
