About STI
The Scrum Training Institute
The Scrum Training Institute (STI) is the premier global provider of certified Scrum training and consulting. Founded by Jeff Sutherland, the co-creator of Scrum, and leading international Agile experts Gabrielle Benefield, Pete Deemer and Jens Østergaard, STI provides a complete solution for companies seeking high-impact results from Scrum and Agile development.
The STI Advantage
In the world of Agile training and consulting, there is a bewildering array of choices. Three things set The Scrum Training Institute apart:
- Reputation. STI is led by some of the most respected figures in the Agile field. Our team includes Dr. Jeff Sutherland, the co-creator of Scrum, as well as the leaders of some of the largest enterprise Scrum implementations to date, totaling thousands of employees worldwide.
- Depth of experience. The STI founders are some of the most experienced Scrum practitioners anywhere, and we’ve worked with many of the world’s best-known companies on their Scrum and Agile implementations, companies ranging from Google and Microsoft to IBM, Oracle, HP, among many others.
- Global reach. The STI has a full-time presence by its founders in the US, Europe, and Asia, and is the largest provider of certified Scrum training in India. We specialize in helping enterprises with globally distributed organizations succeed with Scrum and Agile development. We have extensive experience using Scrum successfully for offshore and multi-location development, including in a services environment and at CMMI Level 5 organizations.
Training Services
A successful Agile implementation begins with comprehensive training, and The Scrum Training Institute is led by some of the most experienced educators in the industry. We can provide customized training tailored to your specific needs, ranging from industry-standard Certified ScrumMaster training to specialized courses for team-members, managers, and the executive team. In addition to Scrum training, we offer a full line of complementary training courses, including Test-Driven Development, Extreme Programming (XP), Agile estimating and planning, and Agile management skills.
Advisory Services
In addition to training, we also assist clients in planning and executing every stage of their Agile adoption. We help clients anticipate the challenges, and bypass many of the pitfalls common to Scrum adoptions both large and small. Unlike many consultants, we have each led large-scale corporate adoptions as executives or senior managers, and we are highly attuned to the many issues that arise – technical, organizational, political. In addition, since STI focuses solely on training and advisory services, we are able to provide unbiased advice regarding Agile tools; we can recommend the right tool for your needs, regardless of vendor.
Customers
The Scrum Training Institute leadership team has provided Scrum training and advisory services to some of the best-known companies in the world, including GE, Google, IBM, HP, Microsoft, Oracle, Yahoo!, Siemens, Accenture, Wipro, and Infosys. STI’s focus is training and advisory services; we are not in the business of selling software tools, development services, or other products. This allows us to focus on doing one thing extremely well: Training and advising your organization to succeed with Scrum and Agile development.
