Capital One
A ScrumMaster and Agile Coach at Capital One, Scott MacIntyre is passionate about coaching teams to bring agile beyond “by the book Scrum” and help teams focus on continuous improvement in lieu of the complacency of best practices.

He has coached teams in both small tech shops and Fortune 500 companies with teams both on and off-shore. Scott recently hoodwinked his wife into using kanban to plan their wedding.
