For your organization
The 90-day advisory pilot
Three months of Advisory Lite: up to 5 hours of my time each month, async and live, online, booked on your own calendar link. $6,750 prepaid for three months, or $2,497 a month, cancel any month. At day 90 we review what changed and decide together: continue, change tier, or stop.
Already bought 3 mentoring sessions? The $497 counts toward your first month.
"His experience... and timely coaching has led [to] successful project implementation."
— Chief Enterprise Architect, on a project that went on to win the company's award
Monthly advisory: what differs
| Plan | Per month | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Async Advisory | $997 | Add me to your Slack, Teams or Google workspace, one channel. No live hours. |
| Advisory Lite | $2,497 | Everything in Async, plus up to 5 hours of my time a month in one-hour increments, online only, with your own booking link. Time does not accrue. |
| Advisory VIP | $4,997 | Everything in Lite, plus up to 10 hours of my time a month. |
All three: cancel any month. Three months prepaid: $2,700 (Async), $6,750 (Lite), $13,500 (VIP).
Onsite
$5,000 a day, 3-day minimum, travel extra outside Richmond, Virginia. It starts with the same 20-minute call.
For you as a leader
Mentoring: 3 sessions, $497
You have an idea or an ambition, and nobody senior, outside your org chart, to tell you the truth.
Three confidential one-hour sessions: $497 for all three. We build your plan, get your idea funded, and decide what's next. Risk-free after session one.
"You helped me bring extreme clarity as to what I was doing and you helped me Focus. #deliver in ways I never thought possible."
— Director, consumer packaged goods company
Scrum Event Tune-Up, $297
Send a recording of one of your Scrum Events for a neutral, asynchronous review. $297, refunded in full if it isn't valuable.
For your teams
Private class, from $5,000
Your people are certified, and delivery is still slow and uneven.
Private CSM, CSPO, Scrum Essentials or custom workshops for teams of 4 to 24, from $5,000, built around your real problems. The debrief a week or two after class is included. I've been a Certified Scrum Trainer® since 2006.
Scrum Essentials (a 4-hour live course with a Scrum Alliance microcredential): priced with private training. Ask for a fixed quote.
"I still use the skills he taught me today. And it was about far more than skills — it was inspiration."
— Howard Sublett, Former CEO, Scrum Alliance
Public class seat, $997
One seat in a public CSM or CSPO class (anyone can sign up). Reserve now for $97. It's refundable and counts toward the seat. The class is confirmed once enough seats are reserved to run it (usually four or five), and the remaining $900 is due then. If no class runs within 90 days, you get the $97 back.
