About

Warren Yu

I'm Warren Yu. I've spent about 30 years in IT: as a developer, Scrum Master, agile coach and capability lead, in consulting firms, banking and insurance. I was the first Professional Scrum Trainer in the Philippines, a Microsoft MVP for 13 consecutive years, and I wrote the book Practical Agile: Win Small, Lose Big.

Ready Sooner came out of what I kept seeing in the teams I coach: AI making the work faster, while the people who used to learn from that work got fewer chances to learn. Nobody had decided that. It was happening by default.

Ready Sooner is a consulting and training line of ScrumCoach.PH, my training and coaching practice based in the Philippines.

How this work is made

The tools here were developed for practical use and have not yet been tested at scale. I offer them as reasoned designs, not proven methods, and I say so in every course and paper.

I use AI in my own work, including Claude by Anthropic, for research, source checking and drafting. I direct it, review what it produces, and I'm responsible for what you read here. Cited figures are checked against their original sources.
