I am CTO and co-founder of Danube Technologies, Inc., a Bellevue, Washington-based software consulting company focused on software process training and coaching. My area of expertise is Agile project management. I am a Certified Scrum Trainer with experience implementing Agile frameworks for software development teams in the public and private sector.Current ActivitiesI act in a dual capacity for Danube currently; I facilitate Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) courses, and I act as the Product Owner for ScrumWorks. In CSM courses, my goal is for students to walk away understanding the key principles behind Agile and Scrum. Since the principles are difficult to grasp, I've found exercises showcasing the principles to be the best pedagogical tool.ScrumWorks is Danube's Scrum-centric project management aide. In guiding the product, I try to infuse Scrum principles and resist deviating from those core practices and principles. My approach is minimalistic with simplicity and usability in mind.InterestsLately I've been reading more about Lean/Toyota Production System and how those principles translate for teams adopting Agile. I also have an interest in chaos and complexity theory with Agile and Scrum so firmly rooted in those disciplines. For more on what I'm thinking about, check out my blog and post your own thoughts and comments. |
