Siarhei Sushynski is a seasoned Scrum Master & Agile Consultant with over 17 years of experience in the software development domain.  He started his career in 2004 as a software developer for a US-based outsourcing company with a development office in Minsk, Belarus, where he honed his skills in extreme programming and customer collaboration. By 2012, Siarhei had risen to a leadership role and began exploring ways to improve software development using agile principles and the Scrum framework. He became a Certified ScrumMaster℠ (CSM®) after training and self-study.

In 2013, Siarhei joined Wargaming, where he managed various development initiatives using agile principles. In 2015, he helped to transform the first Wargaming mobile title development studio using the Scrum framework and acted as a Kanban Master for service-oriented teams. Siarhei later received advanced training in facilitation techniques, leadership, OKRs implementation, and scaled agile methodologies.

In 2018, Siarhei joined Leveris, an Irish fintech start-up, to grow its R&D team in Minsk and improve communication with senior stakeholders. As a Scrum Master, he oversaw the formation of five teams and later served as an Agile Coach to help everyone work towards common business goals. Siarhei also has extensive experience in HR practices such as recruitment, team staffing, and performance review.

In 2020, Siarhei returned to Wargaming as Chief Scrum Master to bring a new game prototype to market, but development was discontinued after multiple playtests. In November 2020, he joined Profitero, an online retail data analytics platform, as a Scrum Master and Agile Consultant to assist with the LeSS adoption in the product engineering department.

At Profitero, Siarhei has implemented Scrum in two cross-functional engineering teams, facilitated LeSS events, and improved forecasting for OKRs achievement using a collaborative estimation technique.

Siarhei has also designed and conducted training on Lean, Agile, Scrum, and Kanban essentials, coached individuals to become better team members and contributed to the internal Scrum/LeSS community of practice. He has also designed and implemented a Scrum Masters grading model that includes core competencies and relevant behaviors.
