Scrum Masters of the Universe Unite!

I’m Jamie Kriegel, a dynamic Agile advocate, mentor, and strategic problem-solver. As someone who thrives on challenges and values lifelong learning, my passion is to spark a similar fire in the hearts of aspiring Scrum Masters.

Over the years, I’ve successfully steered substantial Scrum, Agile, and Lean product development initiatives, transforming concepts into dynamic projects that enhance performance, efficiency, and precision. My ability to build influential partnerships and implement transformative strategies has allowed me to align organizations with ever-evolving product development needs.

In my role as a servant-leader, I’ve honed a collaborative communication style that encourages transparency, inspection, and adaptation. It’s my goal to bridge gaps between teams and motivate them towards excellence, contributing to their personal growth and the sustained success of the organizations they serve.

As an educator, I bring Scrum concepts to life with creative metaphors, engaging my learners with dynamic and interactive environments. Using Liberating Structures, I ensure active participation and foster a deep understanding of even the most complex Scrum principles.

But what really sets me apart is my commitment to making learning fun. I believe in the power of play and engagement in education, which not only enhances individual performance but also boosts the overall productivity and success of the teams and organizations that my learners are a part of.

My mission? To empower the Scrum Masters of tomorrow. By equipping them with essential knowledge, skills, and tools, I help them unlock their full potential. Through my passionate advocacy for Scrum and Agile methodologies, I aim to foster a culture of continuous improvement in the industry. After all, the journey towards growth never truly ends — it just becomes more exciting

      About Russ

      Tell me, I will forget. Show me, I may remember. But involve me, and I will understand…

      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.

      • “Strong intrinsic motivator and truly a game changer” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Russell. As an agile coach Russell earns my highest recommendation and would be an asset to any executive and organization.

            Coaching has been part of Tony’s practice since the late 1990’s.

            As a qualified UEFA B Football Coach, Life Coach and Certified Agile Coach, having a different set of skills in his toolbox allows for relevant experience to be shared during his sessions.

            As a Project Manager, stumbling across Scrum changed the way Tony wanted to work and this built an enthusiasm for working with teams to experiment and improve their expected outcomes.

            Currently working as an Agile Coach for a services company, with a background in Utilities, Finance, Aerospace and Government, Tony can bring a wealth of real-life stories to the room to assist in the practical aspects of the course.

            I love to learn and teach by experiential or visual practice, as it allows me feel like I have gained experience during the session.
