About the Author:
Lyssa Adkins came to agile as a project leader with over
fifteen years’ project management success. Even with all that
experience, nothing prepared her for the power and simplicity of
Agile done well. Since 2004, she has taught thousands of people in
basic agile and advanced agile coaching, coached many agile teams
and been a master coach to dozens of apprentice coaches. Coaching
coaches one-on-one and in small groups, she enjoys a front-row seat
as remarkable agile coaches emerge and go on to entice the very
best from the teams and organizations they coach. Lyssa’s agile
experience, along with her professional coaching and training
abilities, gives her the perspective needed to guide teams and
agile leaders to harness agile as the competitive advantage weapon
it was meant to be. She knows the transformation path is rocky. As
a large-scale program manager and director of project management
offices turned agile coach and trainer, she has lived it herself.
This makes her uniquely able to help others change their existing
world to the agile world. Lyssa holds key certifications: Certified
Scrum Coach (CSC), Certified Scrum Trainer (CST), Project
Management Professional (PMP), and Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB). She
is also a trained co-active coach and will soon be an
Organizational and Relationship Systems Certified Coach (ORSCC).
