Paul Lister is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) with the Scrum Alliance, a distinction held by only about 200 professionals worldwide. With over 20 years of experience in the fintech industry as a software developer and manager, Paul has firsthand knowledge of both traditional and Agile workflows. This unique perspective enables him to effectively guide teams transitioning from conventional project management methodologies, such as Waterfall, to Agile practices.

Paul's Agile journey began in 2016 when he earned his Certified ScrumMaster certification during an Agile transformation at Aquila Heywood. Serving as a ScrumMaster for multiple teams, he was instrumental in the organization's shift to Agile. His dedication to continuous improvement led him to achieve Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) and Certified Scrum Professional ScrumMaster (CSP-SM) certifications.

Over the past three years, Paul has expanded his expertise as an Agile Coach, supporting business transformations and conducting over 100 training courses. He has collaborated with leading organizations, including the BBC, British Airways, Accenture, and Fidelity, to help them adopt and scale Agile practices. As a trainer, Paul leverages his diverse industry experience—spanning retail, construction, and software development—to empathize with and address the challenges teams face during Agile adoption. His approach emphasizes minimizing risk, fostering collaboration, and unlocking the true potential of Agile.

Paul’s passion for Agility extends beyond the workplace. He is the founder of the Surrey and Sussex Agile Meetup group and an active participant in Agile conferences. Outside of his professional life, he applies Agile principles to his creative pursuits as a novelist, short story writer, and filmmaker.
