Shelter Insurance, a 70 year-old insurance company that primarily sells its products through agents, launched a subsidiary company to capture a new audience through direct web sales. As part of this effort, Shelter piloted a move to the agile mindset and its corresponding methodologies. As a Scrum Master on one of the new teams formed for this product, it was my responsibility to guide the team in the application of Scrum practices and values.

Accomplishments:

  • Worked with other teams to improve our program level demos for greater collaboration
  • Worked with a group of Scrum Masters and Product Owners to create, facilitate, and evolve a training program for new employees and employees new to agile
  • Mentored new Scrum Masters in their new roles
