Jeff Sutherland started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993 and worked with Scrum Co-Creator Ken Schwaber, to formalize the Scrum development process at OOPSLA’95. In the same year, Sutherland provided Kent Beck background information on the creation of Scrum to help him create eXtreme Programming. XP engineering practices then evolved along with SCRUM and the two leading Agile development processes work well together. Scrum and XP are the most widely used Agile processes worldwide and their creators are authors of the Agile Manifesto.

Jeff is CEO of Scrum, Inc. and Senior Advisor to OpenView Investment Partners. His venture group is run by Scrum, invests in Agile companies, and trains them in Scrum as the best business practice for software development. He has been CTO and/or VP of Engineering of 9 software companies and is Scrum coach to over 20 portfolio companies for the venture group. Jeff started up using Scrum seven years ago at PatientKeeper and involved the whole company in the Scrum process. He has helped extend the company-wide Scrum model to many companies in the U.S. and Europe.

Jeff helps to strengthen Agile software development implementation in venture funded companies by provide coaching, mentoring, and training to development teams. OpenView investments require full implementation of Scrum and/or XP with strong product ownership and highly motivated teams that can demonstrate continously improving velocity of software production and quality of end user experience.
