Javier is a deep listener, very reflective and engages with great empathy. One of the most enjoyable aspects when working together with Javi, is that the system is in the foreground, his heightened awareness of the interconnections and the ability to apply these insights to the approach with leadership and teams.

This ancient Chinese proverb captures the essence of the Agile Mastery Institute. Only through experience, with a guide and mentor, do we truly reach the level of mastery. The agile mastery pathways provide the guidance necessary to truly become a great Scrum Master or Product Owner.
As an experienced Agile Coach and Trainer, I love guiding organisations, leaders and teams to transform themselves to deliver high-quality products and services. I have around 30 years of experience working in various industries, covering internet services, online media, digital broadcasting, telecommunications, Agile training and coaching. I am a CEC and CTC with the ScrumAlliance.org and Accredited Kanban Trainer with the Kanban University.
I operate out of Berlin, Germany, and partner with clients throughout Europe and sometimes further afield. I actively contribute to the Scrum and Lean/Kanban communities and participate in regular events and conferences across Europe.

Geoff is the founder of Agile Mastery Institute and author of the Agile Mastery Series
I’m Geoff Watts and I’m the UK’s leading agile leadership coach.
I’ve written the books and the courses
There is a good chance that you will have come across one of my best-selling books Scrum Mastery, Product Mastery, Team Mastery or The Coach’s Casebook. The fact that these have inspired so many people and are recommended widely is a huge source of pride for me and is the basis for my work with people.
I have crafted training and development pathways for each role within an agile organisation to help them embed the necessary skills and I support people’s ongoing growth through 1-2-1 and team coaching.
Global Keynote Speaker
Having started using Scrum at British Telecom, one of the first large-scale agile adoptions, I have since coached organisations large and small through their agile journeys. I am at the cutting edge of developments in the agile world and can regularly be found speaking at both international conferences and local user groups as well as TEDx events.
As well as my wealth of knowledge in the agile field, I am also passionate about promoting servant-leadership through my coaching practice. I am a hugely experienced and qualified coach and passionate about promoting self-development

Robin looks to put the ‘fun’ into addressing and removing ‘dys-fun-ctions’ through the use of creative tools, techniques and analogies. He is now taking this a step further by delivering Scrum Master training with LEGO as a medium for learning, helping to create the building blocks of skills and knowledge in those that attend his courses.
Robin began his Agile journey as a Product Owner in 2011 with zero knowledge of Agile or Scrum. This role proved to be pivotal in his career, setting him off in a new direction. After experiencing a new approach to getting work ‘done’, he did not look back embracing a new way of working. Now he wants to help and guide you on your journey.
Robin is an experienced Agile Coach and Scrum Master. He has worked with a variety of organisations across multiple sectors helping them to visualise current processes and practices, identify areas for continuous improvement and deliver agile training, which has led to him delivering Scrum Master training with LEGO.
Robin is passionate about supporting individuals, teams and organisations on their Agile journey and is now supporting the growth of Scrum Masters through the Scrum Mastery Pathway. But that’s not the only Agile training that Robin offers, he also supports the development of Product Owners through the Product Mastery Pathway.

Who is Jeff Davis?
As a guide and advisor, Jeff serves leaders and teams trying to navigate the ever-changing landscapes of complexity around them. Much like a compass and map, Jeff helps people become better oriented to their specific context in order to envision more valuable, attainable, desired outcomes. As a co-creator in the journey, Jeff motivates others to cultivate greater levels of disciple in their journey towards mastery as they shape a stronger sense of self, increase personal creativity, and engage in community.
As an experienced Agile Coach and ScrumMaster guided by a versatile background including over 25 years in hardware, software, development, infrastructure, leadership, and more, Jeff enables other change agents through mental models such as: servant-leadership, systems thinking, ORGANIC agility, a product-over-project mindset, Better Value: Sooner, Safer, and Happier, storytelling, and more. He champions positive regard and blameless leadership within complex adaptive systems where experimentation and levels of self-awareness help us unlock innovative ways to deal with Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity. We can become not just resilient, but anti-fragile (a better version of what we were before we experienced failure).
Besides his role within an Agile Center of Excellence team for a leading healthcare enterprise, Jeff is also Chief Product Owner and the featured coach & consultant at 3D-Change
By facilitating workshops and other group decision-making events, Jeff inspires the levels of trust, respect, alternative thinking, resourcefulness, aspiration, tactful disruption, and wide-reaching coherence required to foster high-performing teams who consistently deliver measurable value.
Because there’s a rhythm to work and life, Jeff’s background as a musician also influences his approach. He views his role to be like a conductor or producer in the ways they help create satisfying musical experiences. By actively listening to the interactions of leaders and teams we can explore any unwanted dissonance, and then skillfully improvise our way into better ways of working (like adjusting musical notes, harmonies, dynamics, or tempo). Creating better outcomes for our customers through high-quality software, products, and services is made possible as we first compose agile-minded leaders who resonate a high-trust ecosystem which will amplify the skilled efforts of its self-managing teams.
