Session Overview
This month, we explore one of the most influential yet debated frameworks in Agile: Scrum.
Join our host, Antonio Specchia, for an engaging session where speakers Michael Forni and Gunther Verheyen will discuss Scrum – A Smart Travel Companion.
This discussion with experts, Michael Forni and author Gunther Verheyen, will offer deep insight into the essence of Scrum, its evolution, and how thoughtful interpretation of Agile principles continues to shape modern organisations. And answer the question: Why Agile is considered controversial — and why it matters today?
Speaker
Michael F. Forni doesn’t just teach agile—he makes it stick.
As an enterprise and team agility coach specializing in Scrum and Kanban, he’s guided organizations like AstraZeneca, VirginMoney, the FCA, and World First through complex digital and cloud transformations. His approach? Get in the trenches with teams and leaders to unlock better flow, sharper collaboration, and real value delivery.
But Michael’s reach extends far beyond the organizations he coaches directly.
As a translator and reviewer of agile books, guides, and articles, he’s become a vital bridge for Italian-speaking practitioners—ensuring that essential ideas on agility and flow aren’t lost in translation, but arrive clear, practical, and ready to use.
He’s also a driving force behind community resources that thousands rely on: the Scrum Guide Expansion Pack and the Open Guide to Kanban—tools that turn theory into action.
And if you’ve encountered ScrumLSP or RetroLSP, you’ve already experienced his work. He co-created both.
