Customers who trust me
Becoming authentically agile as an organization is usually a long journey of shared learning and development. That’s why I enter into long-term partnerships with the organizations I work with. To find out if the stakeholders want to enter into such a partnership, the best way is a short joint working opportunity. This can be done, for example, in the context of an Agile Assessment or a management workshop with executives of the interested organization.
In my work I use principles and tools from Scrum, Large Scale Scrum, Training from the Back of the Room, Lean StartUp, Jobs To Be Done, Outcome Based Innovation, Kanban, Liberating Structures, ZeGG Forum, Nonviolent Communication and NARM.®
Before working as a trainer and coach, I gained my own experience over many years as a multiple CEO & founder, manager, consultant, product owner and Scrum Master of various organizations.
My new Book “The Art of Slicing Work”
Every organization inevitably deals with an ever-increasing amount of uncertainty. Working with it, instead of ignoring it or looking the other way, is the most important skill for managers of the 21st century: The Art of Slicing Work.
This book is the condensed experience presented as easy-to-understand stories that will enlighten and inspire you to apply them with your team or in your whole organization.
Don’t let unpredictability derail productivity.
With The Art of Slicing Work, surprises are just another step in the process.

Anton Skornyakov – Certified Scrum Trainer® | Business Coach | Author | Co-Founder and MD of Agile.Coach | Creating impactful human-oriented systems in commercial, non-profit, and governmental sectors
Anton Skornyakov is passionate about facilitating cooperation between humans. He educates and supports organizations in reliably delivering results on unpredictable projects. He accomplishes this by helping to modify the structure of how people collaborate to enhance understanding, foster responsible behavior, and promote ownership across the organization.
Trained as a mathematician and physicist, Anton pivoted his career towards entrepreneurship and business coaching. This transition was sparked by realizing what truly matters now: human collaboration. He believes that creating a world where humans can collaborate effectively, despite all our differences, is the ultimate challenge of the 21st century.
This drive is at the heart of his work at Agile.Coach, a company he co-founded and is leading. Here, he has had the privilege of coaching a wide range of organizations and thousands of people, teaching them how to work more efficiently and effectively. The essence of these experiences, stories, and principles is the basis of his book, “The Art of Slicing Work”, published in March 2024.
