About

Welcome! I'm Mike Cohn, founder of Mountain Goat, Certified Scrum Trainer, and co-founder of Scrum Alliance & Agile Alliance. I help organizations succeed with agile. When it comes to agile and Scrum, I wrote the books: Succeeding with Agile, Agile Estimating and Planning, and User Stories Applied. For over 20 years, I've helped organizations of every size build high-performing teams to deliver the right product on time, every time. I release new videos every other week with my best agile and Scrum advice, from sprint planning to story points to the product owner role. Subscribe to catch them all. If you like my videos, you'll love our certified Scrum training and user story courses. Plus, don't miss our Agile Mentors podcast w/Brian Milner. You can also check out weekly releases on my long-running blog. Or download a free Scrum cheat sheet.
