Background

About Brandon Rogers

I love working with others, getting feedback and coaching others in areas that I have a good amount of experience. Leadership is all about growing others in the areas that you are passionate about.Agile/Scrum training:•I received my Scrum Master certification in November of 2012 and had been working on a Scrum Team as a developer for approximately a year prior to that. •Since November 2012, I have continued to try and improve upon my coaching techniques that could directly impact the teams that I'm working with as a Scrum Master. •In May of 2014 I attended the Scrum Alliance Global Scrum Gathering in New Orleans where it started to open my eyes up to areas that we have ignored during our Agile and Scrum implementation at Samtec. For example, we have avoided pushing Scrum out to the business beyond our Product Owners. Business Sponsors have yet to really buy into the Agile concept that we are working on implementing which has presented several challenges. •In July of 2014 I became a Certified Scrum Professional.Personal Strengths/Weaknesses: I believe that knowing and analyzing oneself is critical when it comes to working within a team. 1.Strengths: a.Open-Minded b.Leadership c.Communication2.Weaknesses a.Decision making - I prefer to collaborate with others to come to the best solution possible. I can make a decision if needed, but it doesn't come naturally. b.Naive - There are many times that I think I have all of the right answers only to find out that I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle. c.Quick Starter - I jump right into problems before truly analyzing all of the factors, which sometimes leads me down the wrong path.
