Hi, I'm Mike Lyons

Across my 30 year career I’ve worked with startups, non-profits, state and local governments and fortune 100 enterprises to build amazing products. But it hasn't all been new sneakers and bubblegum. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and seen products fail miserably. Today I look back on this experience with gratitude, as I help other Product Owners, like you, double-down on what works and steer clear of the pitfalls.

Learners Love KaiRise

After training and certifying thousands, KaiRise consistently ranks in the top 10% of all ICAgile Member Orgs.

Outstanding experience with KaiRise. Exceptional energy, rich content, and relevant real-world examples. As a seasoned practitioner, I found it both reinforcing and eye-opening—offering fresh perspectives while reawakening foundational principles. A valuable reset for those of us navigating complex, real-world Agile beyond the textbook.

Highly recommend for the bite sized well designed course, that includes [relevant easy to apply activities], and a great instructor who speaks to you, not at you. Very well done and would take more courses designed like this.
