James Smith’s 30 year IT career began at IBM in mainframe sales and at AT&T in product development. James’s central focus is now on Scrum. Every one of the 26 Teams James worked with as ScrumMaster taught him that Scrum was the most efficient and profitable way of developing software. As a member of Winnow Management, James is pleased with the opportunity to share all of his learnings assisting in the launch of new Agile Teams. He feels that Scrum, when properly implemented, makes life better for all involved. James is a Certified Scrum Trainer (certified by the Scrum Alliance) and holds an MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management.

"He [Peter] put forth a superior work effort in our European development office. We needed to fully understand our readiness to implement Scrum. His observations and recommendations were accurate and practical, helping us avoid pitfalls associated with moving to a new development methodology." - Shashi Kapur, CTO, Ygomi, LLC
"We were faced with a large backlog of projects and a development team that was far too small. Peter was able to increase our development staff from 20 to 80 in less than 12 weeks, increasing our productivity dramatically and quickly. He created new hiring procedures, developed an accelerated training program, and implemented a new agile development process (Scrum). As a result, we completed all critical work expectations, created a more positive work environment, and our customers were extremely satisfied." - Larence Park, co-founder and former CEO of WildCard Systems, Inc.
"What I find particularly beneficial about the work we've done with Winnow Management is their ability to bridge the gap between technology and business while taking very practical measures to maximize project ROI. Additionally, we were able to accelerate our response to new business by cutting our project ramp up time by 75%." - Tim Dorsey, The Dorsey Group, LLC
