To be a leading resource for project professionals to learn, share and practice Agile project management, creating an inclusive community for them to thrive, innovate and drive positive change.
Our Mission
We empower project professionals with the skills, tools, and support to succeed in a dynamic business environment through the SVPM immersive Scrum Team program, fostering collaboration and growth.
Who we are
The Silicon Valley Project Management website – SVProjectManagement.com – was started in 2006 to create a community of Project Managers who share best practices, experiences, and lessons learned. Our cross-functional volunteer community adapted a hybrid of Agile frameworks and created the SVPM Scrum Team program.
www.svprojectmanagment.com is a blogging platform that provides Agile/PM practitioners an online space to share their knowledge and expertise with our community. It also gives project managers/professionals an opportunity to gain hands-on experience using Agile frameworks.
How we work
The SVPM Scrum Team Program utilizes Agile frameworks to help volunteers build Product Backlogs, create self-governing Scrum Teams, and build various tasks to support our online community. The close collaboration of our cross-functional team enables us to employ an Agile mindset using a hybrid of Agile frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP, FDD, and any adaptive practice that we learn through collaborative work.

“Volunteering with SVPM as a Scrum Master has been an incredibly rewarding journey. The hands-on experience, collaborative environment, and exposure to agile practices helped me grow both professionally and personally. What truly stood out was the genuine support and mentorship from the leadership team, which created a space where I felt empowered to lead, learn, and contribute meaningfully. Attending the Scrum of Scrums meetings was a particularly valuable professional experience, offering broader visibility and alignment across teams. SVPM is a vibrant community that nurtures growth, and I’m grateful to have been part of it.”

“This volunteer opportunity was the missing piece in my Agile journey! Over three sprints, I didn’t just learn about Scrum—I lived it. Working with a team through the full cycle of planning, Backlog Refinement, Review and Retrospectives taught me more about inspecting and adapting, and delivering incremental value than any book. It transformed my understanding of the Scrum Master role from a process facilitator to a true servant leader who removes impediments and empowers the team. An absolutely invaluable experience for anyone looking to master Agile methodologies.”
