Scrum Alliance® Wins 2025 Culture of Good Community Impact Award

DENVER, May 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Scrum Alliance is proud to announce that it has been named a winner of the 2025 Culture of Good Community Impact Award, a prestigious honor recognizing companies that lead with purpose, prioritize people and the planet, and weave community impact into the fabric of their culture.

Presented by Culture of Good, Inc., this award shines a spotlight on organizations that use their influence for good and inspire others to do the same. As a not-for-profit focused on expanding agile training and education across the globe, Scrum Alliance's mission is deeply rooted in giving back and equipping people to thrive.

"This award is an incredible affirmation of who we are and what we stand for," said Tristan Boutros, Chief Executive Officer at Scrum Alliance. "We believe business can be a force for meaningful change, and this recognition celebrates how we care for each other, for our members, and for the world around us."

Over the past year, Scrum Alliance has stepped up with a variety of initiatives that reflect its values and mission:

• Supporting families and veterans: They've provided much-needed supplies for families through the Little Essentials annual holiday drive and supported organizations doing critical work for our veterans, including Operation Gratitude and Wounded Warrior Project.
  
  
• Empowering underserved youth: The organization donated laptops and a robot for robotics class to help over 40 students in Colorado gain access to technology that supercharges their educational experience.
  
  
• Caring for the planet: Scrum Alliance eliminated single-use items at its annual event, the Global Scrum Gathering®, and they planted 100 trees for Earth Day through the organization One Tree Planted.

As part of its ongoing commitment to service, Scrum Alliance is now formalizing its volunteerism strategy, building on momentum from holiday giving drives, donations, and grassroots efforts led by employees. They've added a brand-new employee benefit in 2025 by offering 8 hours of paid Volunteer Time Off each year, along with resources for finding volunteer opportunities. This gives team members the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and support the causes that matter most to them.

"This recognition speaks to the culture we've intentionally cultivated; one grounded in our values of focus, courage, commitment, openness, and respect," said Taylor Kelly, Head of HR. "It's been incredible to see how quickly employees have embraced every opportunity to give back, and how many are now bringing forward their own ideas for causes we can support together. With the launch of our volunteer policy, we've deepened our commitment to service and sparked a new wave of energy and initiative. The momentum is real, and it is pushing us toward even greater impact."
