Australian Certified Scrum Trainers
Way back in April 2008 there was a significant change in the Australian Scrum landscape that went largely unnoticed. Australia gained its first resident Certified Scrum Trainer when Martin Kearns received his CST credentials.
In the same month, Rowan Bunning also received his CST while he was working in London. Rowan’s now back in Australia, so that gives us two local Scrum trainers.
