About

Title: Agile/Scrum Trainer

Mário Melo

In my earlier professional life, I vorked in companies like ATAN, Accenture and Alamo IT leading large projects around the world for clients such as PepsiCo, Vallourec and Petrobras. Both good and bad experiences I had in those times were used to create a company where I'd really could make a difference along with my partners Alysson Mendonça and Rafael Neves; and that company is Facta.

Facta was a great place to learn by experimentation, and once I started doing experiments I wanted to share them with the community with talks, blog posts and training sessions. That led me to became a CSD Trainer in 2014, and where my journey as a trainer began. Overtime I learned more about better ways to propagate learning by giving more control to the participants in my classes, and as the number of classes increased so did the amount of feedback and improvement opportunities.

These opportunities led me to create new content such as a Scrum Card Game called Scrumchkin, and use them in my training sessions. They also led me to learn visual facilitation and create virtual classes about agility that have more than 100.000 enrollments and a NPS that puts it in a World Class classification.

To learn more and impact even more people, I became a CST. And to this day, I keep experimenting and trying to improve myself as a trainer, a software developer and as a person.

You can find my training sessions on the follow organizations:

  • Scopphu
  • Improvee
