About

Are you looking to advance in Agile Project Management? Considering a career switch to Scrum Master? Need help with interview preparation and understanding the job market?

With 18 years of IT experience, I’ve navigated various roles such as Senior Scrum Master, Agile Transformation Coach, Release Train Engineer, and Agile Delivery Lead. I’ve collaborated with leading organizations like Toyota, AT&T, Michaels, and Emerson to drive successful agile transformations.

Throughout my career, I’ve trained and coached Scrum Masters, Product Owners, stakeholders, and diverse teams in fostering an agile mindset and executing various frameworks. My expertise spans multiple agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, XP, SAFe, and Scrumban, along with traditional project models like Waterfall and Iterative approaches.

I’ve personally guided over 20 individuals in transitioning to roles like Scrum Master or Agile Project Manager, or in achieving their next career milestone. As a passionate Agilist, I believe in continuous learning and improvement at every stage.

My technical background as a web developer enriches my understanding of both the technical and managerial aspects of Agile practices. I am also a Certified Agile Coach, CSM, and SAFe Advanced Scrum Master.

What I Can Help With:

Mastering Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, XP, SAFe, Scrumban)
Effective use of Jira and other Agile tools
Project delivery excellence
Coaching and guidance for Agile transformation
Career transitions and growth within Agile roles
Interview preparation for Agile positions
My Approach: I believe coaching is a vital part of career growth. My own mentors played a significant role in my development, and I’m passionate about paying it forward. I focus on building strong one-on-one relationships and understanding the unique needs of each individual. My approach emphasizes asking the right questions, understanding the 'why' behind actions, and focusing on the value they bring, alongside the 'how.' I encourage curiosity and continuous inquiry—while I may not have all the answers, I’ll guide you to the right resources. Helping others achieve their goals is what drives me.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Avnish has been an outstanding mentor throughout my learning journey. He has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations, starting right from the ground level. His patience and dedication to ensuring that every concept is crystal clear truly sets him apart. No matter how many questions I had or how basic my understanding was at the beginning, he never hesitated to explain things thoroughly and with a positive attitude. His guidance has not only helped me grasp the technical details but has also boosted my confidence in applying those concepts practically.
