Noah Engineer-Manriquez

Author | Registered Scrum Master

Noah is already making waves in the world of project management and education. As the author of Scrum for Teens: Level Up Your Learning with Half the Effort, and a Registered Scrum Master, Noah is passionate about sharing the power of Scrum with his peers. His journey began when he realized how Scrum—a powerful framework for staying organized, working smarter, and tackling challenges with confidence—could help him manage his time better and achieve his goals both in and out of school.

Noah's approach is unique—not only because of his age but because he speaks directly to the challenges and opportunities faced by today’s teens. His book breaks down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps, making Scrum accessible and engaging for young learners.

Noah’s dedication to Scrum extends beyond his writing. He volunteers as an intern for the Lean Construction Institute's Northern California Community of Practice (LCI NorCal), where he gained valuable real-world experience. During his internship, Noah was featured in an interview with LCI NorCal, where he shared insights on how he applies Scrum in his own life and the impact it has had on his academic success and personal growth. His commitment to helping others succeed is evident in both his work and his advocacy for practical, real-world skills that teens can use every day.

When he's not writing or speaking about Scrum, Noah enjoys using his skills in competitive settings, like helping his team successfully implement Scrum to get to the 2024 ISTE eSports Conference, where they placed in their inaugural appearance. Beyond Scrum, Noah continues to explore new ways to innovate and inspire others.
