Marcelo's">https://3back.com/marcelo-lopez-jr/">Marcelo's Trainer Profile

Marcelo has worked in software development since the early 1980's, and developed software ranging from parts of operating systems and medical devices to insurance claims and payment processing systems. Starting with Scrum in 2003 followed later by applying the Kanban Method in 2007, Marcelo has been an AKT for 9 years, CST for the last 5, as well as a Scrum@Scale Trainer for the last 2 years. He's worked with fuel logistics and delivery companies and banks as an Enterprise "Coach" because his work had as much to do with simply helping people look at problems from different perspective, as he has building teams (and teams-of-teams) and helping establish CapEx/OpEx and Risk Governance and Control systems for regulatory compliance.

Marcelo was, and remains, the principal translator of the Scrum Guide into Spanish (since 2011) and also the author of "Scrum en Breve", a brief introduction to what Scrum is and is for. He also co-owns and operates the Scrum Practitioners Group on LinkedIn. If this makes you wonder what this has to do with Kanban, he'd answer by saying "With as many Scrum Practitioners as there are, there are many people who've yet to discover how to make Scrum Better with Kanban".
