CEO Message

So glad you are here! Lots to share. The year started off with an expansion to Sacramento, CA where I’m performing as an Enterprise Agile Coach for the California Department of Social Services. It’s quite empowering to coach the teams as they seek ways to simplify the lives of those providing and receiving social services. They embraced the Coaching Assessment and Transformation® solution and now have CA&T™, MICE™ and DOG™ teams.

A new partnership with General Assembly brings opportunities for me to help in many ways with a diverse audience of learners. From training Agile Coaches to new learners with the Agile and Scrum Bootcamp.

Watch Let’s Talk Agile with Sherman Gomberg – from the Global Scrum Gathering, London, UK 2018

A big shout out as I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with so many in the Scrum community as they guide, mentor and coach me on my journey so I can bring new learnings to all of you. Thank you!

Sherman Gomberg, CEO | Scrum Adventures, Inc.

Summer Interns at Work

Each year, Scrum Adventures hires summer interns to introduce Agile / Scrum principles to them and have them actually perform various tasks following the Scrum framework. This past summer, our interns attended Scrum training and applied their learnings to updating the Scrum Adventures website as well as other activities. The website changes were mostly to the Home page and included inserting a Clients & Partners section, adding customer testimonials, and expanding upcoming training and community information.

Non-IT Project and Scrum

Recently, Scrum Adventures was chosen to provide Agile / Scrum training, ScrumMaster, and Coaching services for a major Advanced Materials and Specialty Chemicals manufacturing company. What makes this assignment atypical is that this is not an Information Technology (IT) project. The manufacturing company decided to carry out a pilot project following the Scrum framework. A key objective of the project is to evaluate Scrum to determine if the framework can be applied for future non-IT work. The project is currently underway so stay tuned to our next newsletter to find out the results.

Presenting in Vienna
