Jakub Bażela is a Scrum Master, Management 3.0 facilitator, Agile consultant, author and speaker. His first encounter with Scrum dated back to 2012. A huge fan of Geoff Watts approach to developing Scrum Master skills with RETRAINED model. He currently supports Agile teams in a scaled environment of a Danish software house.

Before becoming a Scrum Master, he was engaged in many activities, once even “committed” to Project Management. If you ask him what he likes most about his job, will say that interacting with other people. Why? Because it shows him how things are looking from a completely different perspective.

He believes that the best work approach cannot be just implemented it must be cocreated by the organization and constantly challenged.

When not working, constantly trying to convince his children that they should watch Star Wars with him. One day he’ll succeed…

Scrum Master since 2013, specialized in helping platform teams. Fascinated by how sometimes small actions can lead to spectacular effects.
