It has been 10 years .......Down memory lane...

I have started my Scrum Master Journey in 2009, in ABB Power Automation Product development unit.Thanks to the management, I was the fortunate one to start these experiments, which has changed my life altogether after that. 

It was a New Generation Power System Explorer Product development. We were 30 members team from Sweden, India, and Poland. I have enjoyed the power of scrum to produce something unique. Microsoft Team foundation server was the tool that helped us run the show(TFS 2009). 3 years I have worked as a Scrum Master, to raise the product, sprint by sprint, release after release.

Immense knowledge and challenge we had at that time. That knowledge was intensive and powerful which helped me till today.

This is product we have worked for...

2012, I wrote my first paper in PMI Bangalore, PMPC 2012, whatever I have gained knowledge during that time. It was not exactly scrum paper, but for productivity improvement by using scrum as an instrument.

With that knowledge power, I have moved into ABB Industrial Automation Product development in ABB as an Agile coach in 2012

We have to build Control system product development with a distributed team, members from the USA, Switzerland, Finland, and India. Awesome experience so far, intensive challenges, outstanding team members. Varied culture. That worked has shaken up my knowledge extensively.

I was the Scrum Master and coach for that product 

That environment so rich for research and development, we could able to experiment with many thing and leadership was allowed to experiment many things.

This is the product look like...

As a Coach, I have written many papers in International journals with the experience and experiment we have done at that time. Few papers...

I kept capturing my learning, good, bad and ugly ...

I have presented many conferences during that time, due to the rich knowledge acquired from product development...

After that I moved my journey, coming out from the dedicated delivery role and pursued as an Agile coach which I am doing till now ….

As a part of the journey, now also I play the role of Scrum Master but not for delivery but for the present support for the team

Scrum Master in Product Development is a wonderful journey so far where we are constructing something which impacts the society ……Those days, those experiments, those team members, leaders cemented my foundation on which I stand today...Awesome people, awesome ambient.
