In this rapidly changing era, as an Agile coach and the first International Scrum Ambassador from Taiwan, CST, I encountered a profoundly influential book—Geoff Watts' "Scrum Mastery". This book has some overlap with Lyssa Adkins' "Coaching Agile Teams", with Lyssa's book being hailed as the contemporary Agile coaching bible, and Geoff Watts' work as the modern new testament. Its emergence inspired a new chapter in advocating Scrum for me, a passion that allowed me to organize a volunteer team of 70 people, surpassing the initial goal of 50.
I am the founder and former president of the Dynamic Competition Society, having held the position for over five years. After obtaining the CST (Certified Scrum Trainer) qualification in Scrum Alliance, I felt a strong need to focus more on promoting agile methodologies, prompting me to step down as president. The Dynamic Competition Society primarily discusses practical approaches to strategic management, which is also the core subject of my doctoral dissertation. Each year, I invite 12 speakers to share their experiences and insights, all of whom generously provide their knowledge without compensation.
In the 2022 RSG, I served as the PO, and my vision was to showcase Taiwan to the world. As a result, that year we set a record for the highest attendance at a Scrum Alliance event since 2010: 888 participants. After taking a year off, another agile association hosted the event, and after two years of reflection, our Taiwan Agile Tribe decided to organize this large-scale event once again.
I've noted that you've been involved in translating world-class agile works in Taiwan, including "Zombie Scrum", and worked with Mr. Lee Shi-Qin from the Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Association on this project. Your collaboration led to exploring AI from a Scrum perspective despite initial hesitations due to a lack of expertise in AI. This experience broadened your perspective to evaluate creative outcomes in a new domain not primarily focused on AI.
