Lyssa’s Bio

Lyssa is an internationally recognized agile thought leader and speaker. Her book, Coaching Agile Teams, is still a top-ranked book years after publication. It’s a must-read book for Agile Coaches and it’s now also available in audiobook format. She co-founded Agile Coaching Institute (ACI) which equipped over 10,000 people with the must-have skills and mindset shifts of excellent agile coaching.

Making difficult decisions faster and with clear alignment, unknotting challenging multi-department impediments, creating the conditions for smooth organizational delivery, helping leaders take up the “Agile transformation” that is theirs to make…this is where she thrives and helps others to thrive.
