David Morris

I help people turn complex ideas into everyday wins. Whether it’s using AI at home, making Scrum work at team level, or running projects that actually deliver, I write practical guides that are clear, human, and jargon-free.

I’ve spent more than three decades leading projects and coaching change across telecommunications, aviation, financial services, energy, and government. Along the way I researched why so many “agile transformations” stall—and learned a simple truth: keep people first, outcomes visible, feedback fast.

You’ll find that spirit in all my writing, including AI Life, Scrum in easy steps, Agile Project Management in easy steps, and The Paradox of Agile Transformation. Expect step-by-step guidance, real examples, and tools you can use today.

I’m based in New Zealand, where I co-founded the Agile on the Beach NZ conference, and hold an MBA from the University of Auckland. When I’m not writing or coaching, you’ll find me tinkering with maker projects or planning the next experiment.

Coming soon: practical guides on OKRs, leadership, and everyday AI — and a science-fiction series is in the works too.
