Summary
I label myself as semi-retired, but find it hard to NOT stay interested and active in the world of Enterprise Agility! Now based in Nevada and affiliated with Ivar Jacobson (inventor of Use Cases and leading light in pragmatic agile Practice definition and management). If you a need a part-time remote trainer or someone to provide guidance on your agile transformation, anywhere in the world except California (they even tax non-residents) I would be delighted to help or just provide some insight. 40 years in software development has seen me evolve from junior programmer in the UK to software development mentor and methodologist at Fortune 500 companies. Had a small company specialising in RUP, another co-owned Knowledge Management company. Since becoming Certified as a SAFe Program Consultant in 2012, I have focused on Agile Transformation at the Divisional and Enterprise levels and have learned a great deal from experience and from working with the best experts in the industry. I am also able to advise you on why Use Cases (2.0) with BDD actually make great sense in an agile world, despite what agile 'experts' may tell you.😊 Personal goals: More writing... poetry, children's books and getting my novel completed and published. Helping my partner be happy. More travel, photography and golf. Nope...no kids to worry about. Specialties: Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), (Certified SAFe Program Consultant SPC 5.0) Agile Practices (affiliated with Ivar Jacobson). Certified Scrum Master, Certified Agile Practitioner. Unified Process implementation and mentoring (certified RUP Practitioner). Business Modeling consultant and trainer. Knowledge Management consultant. Training and consulting on Use Case 2.0 (Ivar Jacobson and Ian Spence) with BDD.
