Mike Lyons
Agile Delivery Expert
Description
I love to help users be successful in delivering value every day using agile methods, principles, and values. I've been in the tech industry for more than 30 years and worked with startups, non-profits, state and local governments and fortune 100 enterprises. Before Agile was even “a thing”, I saw how working in small batches, fast feedback, and shipping often was key. In 2006 I read the Agile Manifesto for the first time and it changed my career. I don't just teach this stuff, I do it - daily. And I infuse these real world insights into my my courses.
