Dive Masters
Your Scrum Lake facilitators
Scrum Lake is developed and facilitated by John Albrecht and Ryan Brook, working alongside us is Kay Wagner and Scott Richards who are our associate facilitators. We are all experienced Scrum Masters who love working with teams and growing a culture of continuous improvement. We help our workshop participants navigate through Scrum Lake by facilitating connection and deeper discussion. We are facilitators and active participants on the journey into Scrum Lake. Our favourite part of Scrum Lake is meeting with other experienced practitioners and sharing ideas.

Ryan Brook
Ryan spends his time working with teams and organisations to change their mindset from 'delivery at whatever cost' to 'value at whatever cost'. Whilst he refers to himself as a Scrum Master, he isn't wedded to one particular framework. He uses creativity and a positive attitude to affect change and encourages people to find what works for them. Improving organisational culture is the backbone of Ryan's practice. Without it, he believes teams are not able to reap the benefits of an empirical framework.
