Hi, I'm Suha Selcuk
I’ve been dedicating my efforts at suhaselcuk.com to share my extensive journey and insights into systemic agile transformation. My adventure in this dynamic realm began with my involvement in a major enterprise’s Scrum transformation in 2009. Throughout this time, I’ve had the honor of imparting Agile and Scrum knowledge to over 1500 passionate individuals.
In 2016, I embarked on a significant venture by establishing Training4Agile, a platform committed to delivering premier Agile transformation consultancy and training services. My dedication to nurturing agility has allowed me to work with a diverse array of organizations across various industries, from home appliances and real estate platforms to financial institutions and technology companies.
My insights and learnings have been chronicled in my book, “Failure Stories – Retrospective of Agile Transformation Journeys & Tips for Effective Transformations,” which dives into the complexities of Agile transformations and provides actionable guidance for successful journeys.
As a regular voice at suhaselcuk.com, I offer weekly newsletters and profound insights, focusing on the intricacies of systemic agile transformation. My active participation in the Agile community also involves speaking at numerous meetups and events, where I share my knowledge and absorb the collective wisdom of fellow Agile enthusiasts. I invite you to join me at suhaselcuk.com as we explore and unlock the full potential of systemic agile transformation together.
I founded SysArt Consulting in 2021 and trusted by 100+ companies.
Other Works and Interests
Topics that captivate my interest, yet often don't find their way into my writing.
Tennis
I have been playing tennis since I was 13 years old and it has always been my passion. The thrill of the game and the satisfaction of hitting a perfect shot keep me hooked. Tennis has not only taught me discipline and perseverance, but also the importance of sportsmanship. Whether I am playing a casual match with friends or competing in a tournament, tennis has brought me endless joy and unforgettable experiences. It is more than just a sport to me.
Books
As a devoted reader since my teenage years, I have discovered countless literary treasures that have expanded my mind, challenged my imagination, and sparked endless curiosity within me. The depth of knowledge and inspiration that I have gained from books and other written works is immeasurable, and I am forever grateful for the lifelong gift of literature.
Sketching
Sketching is one of my favorite hobbies and though I consider myself an amateur, I find solace in it. The act of putting pencil to paper not only helps me unwind and destress, but also taps into my creativity and imagination. Even if my sketches turn out imperfect, the mere process of drawing helps me sharpen my skills and sparks my inspiration. Whether I'm sketching portraits, landscapes or simply doodling, I find it to be a form of therapy and expression.
Photography
I have always been passionate about photography. The ability to capture a moment in time and preserve it forever is truly magical. However, with my busy schedule, I haven't been able to devote as much time to it as I would like. Nonetheless, whenever I do find the time to pick up my camera, I am reminded of why I fell in love with photography in the first place. The thrill of discovering the perfect lighting or angle, and the satisfaction of producing a beautiful image, never ceases to amaze me. Although I wish I could dedicate more time to this hobby, I cherish the moments when I am able to indulge in my passion.
Traveling
I have a passion for exploring different cultures and experiencing new adventures through travel. So far, I have been lucky enough to visit 16 countries and each one has left a lasting impact on me. Whether it’s trying new foods, meeting locals or simply admiring breathtaking landscapes, there’s something truly special about traveling that enriches my life in countless ways. Exploring new places also allows me to step out of my comfort zone and challenge myself in new ways. I can't wait to see where my next adventure will take me!
Music
As an amateur guitar and drum player, classical and rock music form the core of my musical interests. Classical music has a timeless quality that allows me to appreciate the works of the great composers from throughout history. On the flip side, rock music is all about energy and power, with a rawness that I find incredibly compelling. Playing both instruments has enriched my understanding of these genres and allowed me to create my own unique interpretations. Whether I'm strumming a slow ballad on my guitar or pounding out an energetic beat on the drums, music is an essential part of my life that brings me joy and fulfillment.
