Bio
Marvin Sanders
Chris led not just a great Certified ScrumMaster workshop, but one of the best workshops I've attended, period. Excellent pacing, practical advice, and a creative approach (especially around the use of serious games) made the two days fly by -- and provided techniques that were immediately applicable back on the job. Highly recommended!

When Interwoven was looking into a move from a Waterfall planning methodology to agile, we felt training and education would be key to understanding how feasible the move would be. We enrolled our functional managers and some key team leads into a public course that was led by Chris Sims of Agile Learning Labs. Chris led our participants through an interactive and very engaging introduction to agile execution, and very much sold us on agile. Subsequently, we had Chris provide consulting services to help our managers (now scrum masters), our Product Managers, and our team members with planning, scrum and sprint organization, risk management, and general concerns on how to execute. Chris helped us, both individually and at a group level with multiple types of issues, and the company benefitted greatly from his assistance.
