Servant Leadership/coaching is my focus - 'do' before you preach is the best way to simplify this. I love building things – may it be relationships with stakeholders, building a team or a solid/high performing agile squad.

Scrum Master/Project Manager:

The ability to explain ‘something’ to ‘someone’ in a short frame of time and in as few words as possible is quite rare. I continually strive to refine this ability of mine. Empathy is my key tool that I use to practice this. Agile is the best communication tool there is – visibility & transparency are its cornerstones and I use these to talk to everyone in the business. I prefer Scrum & Safe :-). Once I understand ‘someone’s’ perspective, I find it real easy to talk in their language. Throw me in the deep end of the sea and I will come out with a butterfly stroke, simply because I stay calm and respond to my environment instead of reacting to it.I have mentored Scrum Masters and the development teams Facilitating various Scrum Ceremonies(Daily Stand-ups, Sprint planning, Sprint Retrospectives, Sprint review, Daily Scrums and Backlog grooming sessions),representing risks/dependencies through periodic Scrum of Scrums, Managing Agile Metrics for the teams viz.
