Chris Sims will speak at Scrum Day Madison 2026

Scrum Day Madison is excited to announce that Chris Sims will be joining the speaker lineup for the 2026 event, taking place on October 15, 2026, at the Madison Marriott West.

In his session, “Your Stories Are Too Big,” he will tackle one of the most common challenges Scrum teams face—overly large user stories that slow down value delivery and reduce the ability to adapt and learn.

This hands-on session will introduce simple yet powerful techniques to break down large stories into smaller, value-driven increments that are easier to understand, estimate, and implement. Attendees can expect an interactive experience with immediately applicable takeaways.

Chris is a Certified Scrum Trainer, agile coach, and co-author of best-selling books including The Elements of Scrum and Scrum: a Breathtakingly Brief and Agile Introduction. As the founder of Agile Learning Labs, he has helped organizations improve both productivity and workplace happiness through effective agile practices.

Join us at Scrum Day Madison 2026 to learn from Chris and a diverse group of speakers who are shaping the future of agility in an AI-driven world.
