About
About the Book
This book is the result of a Hackathon. Whilst the devs were busy hacking code the Agile Community Of Interest decided to hack around on a book.
This book is a collaborative effort by the community to provide something free, and hopefully valuable, to the wider agile community. We wrote this book for new Scrum Masters, or those planning on tackling the Scrum Master career.
Our goal was to ship an eBook to LeanPub in 48 hours. We achieved it and you're reading it now. We appreciate your support and we really do hope you enjoy the book. We certainly enjoyed creating it for you.

About the Authors
Helen Lisowski
I am an independent Agile & Management Consultant at Fluidworking. Having worked at International Corporations, startups, and everything in between I now help companies develop an agile mind set in management and leadership roles focussing on improving habits and behaviours
In my past I have helped take the Software release process from more than yearly releases to weekly / on-demand with several companies. I did so whilst retaining and developing talent, and during huge company growth, contributing to taking 2 companies through to acquisition.
I have been training, presenting, running workshops and writing for many years. Have a look at www.fluidworking.co.uk to see if you'd like to work with us too.
(I also have a bit of an obsession with afternoon tea)
Rob Lambert
Rob didn’t set out to be a business coach, consultant, or speaker. He began as a journalist and publisher, chasing stories about people and ideas — and trained as a media communication scientist, learning how to cut through complexity and share ideas in ways people actually understand.
That curiosity eventually pulled him into the world of tech — building products, leading teams, and riding the full start-up → scale-up → sale journey.
Along the way he discovered what really makes organisations succeed: not just talent, but clarity, creativity, communication, and continuous learning.
Rob went on to hold senior roles; VP of Software Engineering (twice), VP of HR, Head of Communication and Head of Agility— and those experiences now shape the work he does with leaders and teams.
Through Cultivated Management, his books, workshops, and keynotes, Rob helps organisations cut through complexity, align around value, and create cultures where people thrive.
He’s also the co-host of Stationery Freaks, a podcast for those who love notebooks, pens, and the analogue tools of creativity.
Rob lives in Winchester, England with his wife and three sons. Outside of work, he’s a keen photographer, film maker, and car enthusiast.
Rob is the founder and director of Cultivated Management.
Rob is the founder of Creativesoulprojects.
Rob is also a co-host of Stationery Freaks podcast.

An Interview with Rob Lambert
Martyn Frank
I’m a full time Scrum Master at NewVoiceMedia, and a part time (hobby) developer. I have a passion for Agile practices, CSS, TDD and whatever sparks my interest this week.
My career began as a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Analyst with the British Army. I later became a .Net developer, and most recently a Scrum Master.
I blog about my experiences at Frank Code.
Raji Bhamidipati
Hi,
My name is Raji and I am a Scrum Master at NewVoiceMedia. I help build outstanding self organised teams.
I can be found blogging about My Journey and occassionally speaking at conferences.
In my spare time, I enjoy learning to play the Veena and spending time with my family.
Steven Mackenzie
My early career was in defense research, finding ways to identify explody things in locked containers. I moved in to software development as a way to escape work in a thick walled laboratory. I spent 15 years writing software to index and analyse the unstructured information clogging corporate file shares around the planet.
During this time working as a software engineer in a small team I became interested in agile, user experience, and Lean UX approaches to building software with teams of people.
Since 2014 I have been a Scrum Master at NewVoiceMedia, helping teams work together to change the world of cloud-based contact center software-as-a-service.
