Joseph Little
Joe Little has 20+ years of experience as an Agile coach and CST. He has co-trained eight times with Jeff Sutherland (one of the co-creators of Scrum) which will give you more “real Scrum” when taking his courses. Joe also works with several other Certified Scrum Trainer CSTs (and friends). He has produced Lean Software training with the Poppendiecks. His preference is to practice Agile as a combination of Scrum, XP and Lean principles and practices. Joe has been a speaker at many conferences, including Agile20xx and Agile Tour (over several years in various locations), and at many other venues around the world.
Joe has an MBA and 20+ years of senior level Big 6 and related consulting experience. He also has in-depth practical experience in helping teams become very productive with Scrum and Agile. Having worked in software development and new product development for 20+ years, he is now probably almost a real geek. Joe was a Big 6 management consultant, a senior business and IT consultant to a number of household names in New York, London and Charlotte. In 1991, he launched Kitty Hawk Consulting. Joe has helped lead lean-agile-scrum transformations in the US, Canada, France, the UK, Peru, Argentina, India and Romania.
A native son of Virginia, Joe lived in NYC for 20+ years, and he now resides with his family in Charlotte, NC. He has a BA from Yale and an MBA from NYU. Joe also has the CSM, CSPO, CSP and CST certifications from Scrum Alliance.
