Specialises In
Agile Coach with a strong technical background.
From Java developer to VP of Engineering, I used Agile practices in “trenches” since 2009.
Starting 2016 I help people and organizations to excel at what they do and deliver valuable results just in time. I achieve it through teaching and coaching in Agile and related tools and methods, such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean Startup and many other.
As a part of Agile Drive team, I consult Ukrainian (but not only) companies on Agile and Scrum.
As a freelance scientific editor, I participate in translating Agile-related books to Ukrainian.
My focus is primarily on software companies, though I don't hesitate to apply my expertise in other business areas too.

Challengers' Guide
45 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
How to change organizations and stay sane.
Challengers are a special kind of people in an organization who are on a constant journey of improving and changing themselves, others and the organization. Change agents are an alternative name for such kind of people.
Often they get a hard time. Sometimes they feel very lonely.
In my talk, I explain why it happens and how to address it and avoid burning out.

(Don't) Use the Force, Luke
20 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Agile and Scrum teach us that self-organizing teams are key to success. But what to do with the power, ranks, and authority? Shall we give up them completely? I don't think so. Shall we rely on them exclusively? It kills self-organization. This talk is about why managers (well, everyone to be fair) strive to use their power, what to do if the system provokes you to do this, and how to find a balance between power and self-organization.

Retrospective Anti-patterns
20 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
Retrospectives are critical for a team's success. I participate in and facilitate a lot of retrospectives. I've seen many of them. Fun and boring, productive and useless. Overtime I've started to notice certain patterns, especially for non-productive retros. In this talk, I will share my findings and provide some hints on how to avoid them.
