Julya van Berkel about her biography: In 2003 The first signs of Agile were noticed when I found myself a project-lead in a project that used eXtreme Programming. I was introduced to DSDM and experienced a slim version or RUP.

After leaving the company I worked for (a year later) I returned to non-Agile ways only to be introduced to Scrum a little later. I was allowed to certify myself and have been using scrum ever since, accumulating knowledge and routine in scrum and have been either acting as scrum master or scrum coach in my daily work. After switching to another company in 2007, Sogeti I have been more and more involved in the Agile community, promoting it and advocating it to the company and outside to clients. In 2008 I managed to certify myself as Practitioner and developed a company training for my colleagues, preparing them in case they find themselves in a scrum team. In may 2010 I will be up for an exam that may certify me as Agile Leader, meaning I am proficient in Agile as it is. (still keeping scrum in my heart as the most popular Agile framework to use)
