Who are we?
My name is Michael Vizdos and the artist working with me is Tony Clark. As a Certified Scrum Practitioner (or Coach / Mentor / Consultant) and Certified Scrum Trainer, I get the opportunity to see both the good and impossibly bad implementations of Scrum.
Sometimes, I find humor in the situations (and it is not always politically correct). Since I continue to see these situations all around the world, I thought I'd connect with an artist, develop some cartoons, and provide some narrative to help people learn.
I've been publishing this cartoon series and regular blog entries for over a year now, and if you'd like to find out more about me and the services I can offer you and your team (or managers and executives in your organization), please visit www.michaelvizdos.com. We actually use Scrum to maintain this site.
The site continues to evolve in an agile fashion; it officially launched on September 11, 2006, and started with a classic story from within the Scrum community (now translated into multiple languages). Meet the cast or view our updated blog!
