Reese Schmit
Coach & Trainer
20 years ago I joined a software team at the UT Austin as a baby graphic designer. I meandered my way through a ton of roles from QA, to tech writer, to Product Manager, and finally was asked to ScrumMaster a team. After monumentally failing at that first attempt I made it my mission to do everything in my power to grow in that role and the potential impact I could have on the team and the my company as a whole. I spent the next 15 years soaking up every bit knowledge and experience I could get my hands on while using what I’d gained before to build empathy. I made it my mission to become a trainer that could help folks learn the connection to reality and why behind the things they were doing and a coach that could truly help teams come together to build awesome things. 8 years ago I became a mom and that only added to my perspective. Every response. Every breath. Every lesson. Every pause. I can’t separate the mom from the coach from the trainer so I won’t. I’m better because I’m all 3.
When I’m not hanging out with teams, I’m working volunteering on the PTA for my kiddo’s school or working on the Program Team for the Agile Alliance. Otherwise, I’m either chasing my tiny human girl or two canine boys around, hanging with my amazing husband, baking bread, or, if by some miracle I get to sit down, playing with yarn.

Tesla & Darwin
Sidekicks
Tesla (the good boy on the left) showed up on our doorstep 9 years ago, and never left. He’s almost a canine good citizen and extremely food motivated. He gives the best kisses.
Darwin (aka Brown Dog) joined our family 6 years ago. He has no concept of personal space and his paws were as big as Tesla’s when he was 3 months old.
