From Pioneering Scrum to the C-Suite:
A Practitioner's Approach to Leadership Alignment.
My name is Michael Vizdos and I’ve spent over 30 years learning and teaching teams how to work better.
Today, I apply those lessons as a Chief Product Officer and help other leaders build their "First Team."
For decades, I've been on the front lines of Agile. As one of the original Certified Scrum Trainers, founding member of the Scrum Alliance, and the creator of implementingscrum.com, I’ve helped thousands of teams and leaders around the world move from theory to practice.
And. I learned that great teams are not enough.
True agility isn't a team-level process; it's a leadership-level commitment.
The most common point of failure is a misaligned leadership team (a group of executives who haven't learned to be each other's "First Team").
This isn't just a theory I teach. It's my daily practice.
Today, my work is twofold:
As a Strategic Advisor, I work directly with leadership teams to help them achieve the alignment, trust, and focus required to lead a modern organization.
As a Co-Founder & Chief Product Officer at Edvizion, I am in the trenches with my own team, building a high-growth EdTech company from the ground up. I'm navigating the same product, strategy, and leadership challenges you are.
My approach is simple:
I share what I've learned from over three decades of training and what I'm learning today as an active CPO.
I help leaders move beyond "process theater" to get real results.
