Lyssa Adkins is an experienced Agile Coach, who came to agile as a project leader with more than fifteen years of project management success. Even with all that experience, she was not prepared for the power and simplicity of agile done well.

As a large-scale program manager and director of Project Management Offices turned agile coach and trainer, she has lived it herself. This makes her uniquely able to help others move from their existing world to the agile world. A professional co-active coach, Lyssa coaches agile coaches one-on-one and in coaching circles.
