For more than 15 years I have been working in the IT arena, specifically in the Software Development branch. I had the chance to learn about a lot of technologies and programming languages (both Open Source and proprietary). During the past 7 years I have focused my attention and energy on the study, analysis and improvement of the "Software Development Process", as well as all the related methodologies and Best Practices. My goal is to optimize the End-to-End software production, starting from the conception through to the delivery and support.

« As work becomes more demanding and more complex, process becomes absolutely essential ». Michael Hammer

I have had the chance to work with a lot of highly-trained professionals and share our experience and knowledge. Since 2003, I have been making heavy usage of Agile Methodologies, in particular XP and Scrum and... I am thinking Lean. I've been successfully implementing Scrum in small and medium enterprises, from the Management Support level, down to the integration of supporting tools. I am the "creator" of the Open Source tool Agilo for Scrum, so if you don't like it, please blame me ;-)

On Writing the Product Backlog Just Enough and Just In Time
Thank you for having invented User Stories, Relative Estimations and Planning Poker :-) Interesting enough the JEJIT Task Breakdown, reflects the "Cone of Uncertainty" approach: the accuracy between story points in the range 3 - 20 is around 60%, ...
On Writing the Product Backlog Just Enough and Just In Time
This is what makes you an Agile Leader ;-) indeed they were already there, but not in the way you brought them to us :-) and at least you put in there a lot of glue to pack all the concepts nicely together ;-) so sorry for having used improperly "...
On Writing the Product Backlog Just Enough and Just In Time
