Nancy Van Schooenderwoert certifies that Carl Jansen is, at a minimum, qualified to use, when supported by others, the skill Agile Project Management, based on this evidence:

Carl has completed a rigorous in-house agile coach training program that called for a minimum 3 months experience coaching a team, guidance of a Mentor Coach, and verification by an Observer Coach. (Mentor and Observer being experienced agile coaches.) I was the Mentor Coach for Carl over a 7 month period. My role was to provide training to launch his agile team for a demanding financial services project, and provide ongoing coaching to the team and to managers.

Carl is very good at shielding agile teams from interference while finding ways to encourage collaboration and learning for everyone on the team. His team had to do an infrastructure upgrade to a system that was extremely hard to test because it is the nerve center for a key part of the company's financial services. This is an unusually difficult project for anyone to tackle as their initial agile coaching job, but Carl has handled it well. Everyone involved agrees it could not have succeeded as a waterfall project, yet the team continues to make steady progress using agile iterations.
