At Applied Scrum, we work with teams and organizations of all sizes and skill levels to create a better way of working. We know that focusing on the human side of software development creates happier, more productive teams producing higher quality products that clients love.

As great as that sounds, we know that realistically your Scrum journey can be a rocky path sometimes, but we don’t want you to walk it alone. That’s why all Applied Scrum alumni are invited to join our monthly Applied Scrum Coaching Huddle and associated Slack group for ongoing expert advice, peer support, and networking.

While much of our work is with software development teams, CST Tamara Runyon also draws on her depth of experience to support and facilitate management teams as they discover, plan, and implement their Agile transformation roadmap for organizational change. Services range from management, program, and team coaching and consulting to both certified and non-certified training in a variety of Agile disciplines.

We are also passionate about bringing innovation to new and non-traditional industries that may benefit from the Scrum framework. Most recently, APMI engaged in a multi-year study with the University of Oregon to introduce and adapt Scrum for use in the academic scientific research environment, resulting in a unique new version of the framework that we termed LabScrum.

Whether bringing these tried and true Agile methods to software development or exploring the use of Scrum in unique industries, we carry decades of knowledge, research, and real life experience with us everywhere we go.
