Paul Goddard

Paul Goddard is an established agile coach and trainer based in the United Kingdom. He has been assisting agile teams since 2003 and is a qualified Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Certified Enterprise Coach (CEC). His first book "Improv-ing Agile Teams" brings together two of his passions; coaching agile teams and improvisational theatre. The principles and practices are so closely linked, he uses them every day of his working and personal life. "The Daily Stand-Up Challenge", "The Retrospective Lexicon" and "The Sprint Planning Kick-Start" are card games for agile teams, based on the improv methods that Paul describes in his book. A regular speaker at agile conferences worldwide, Paul is also a long-standing member and contributor to the agile community in the UK and Europe.
