Hi there!
I'm Mike Lyons
What gets me up every morning is helping people smash their career goals by putting agile to work.

I am honored to be recognized by LinkedIn as a "top voice" in the Agile Community.

In 2006, I read the Agile Manifesto and it Changed my Career

I've been in the tech industry for more than 30 years and worked with startups, non-profits, state and local governments and fortune 100 enterprises.

Before Agile was even “a thing”, I saw how working in small batches, fast feedback, and shipping often was key.

In 2006 I read the Agile Manifesto for the first time and it changed my career.

Beyond Agile Theory

From that point on, I became dedicated to helping teams and organizations become faster, nimbler and more adaptive. But it hasn't all been rainbows and lollipops.

I’ve made plenty of mistakes and seen agile fail miserably. Today I look back on these blunders with gratitude, because they gave me the wisdom needed to move beyond the theory of agile and really get results.
