I'm a longtime champion of team-building and development best practices industry-wide. And I've been training and coaching teams and executives to make their practices more effectively agile for a decade and a half. Reviewers compare our Addison-Wesley book, "Managing the Unmanageable: Rules, Tools, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams", to the classics in engineering management. As a VP Eng firefighter and advisor, I quickly assess organizational issues to improve processes, boost productivity, increase teamwork, and deepen partnerships. I lead, unite and inspire software organizations to deliver high quality products with exceptional customer experience. I'm a deeply people-focused mentor, coach, team-builder.
