Andy Brandt

Currently I run a company "Code Sprinters". We offer outsourced software development and agile coaching & consulting. 

We develop in PHP5, Ruby (Ruby on Rails), Python specializing in complex business systems built as web apps. We use Scrum as our method of work, we also want to work within its framework with clients (our clients play the product owner role on our projects).

If you look for a team that knows Scrum already contact us. 

For more background information visit my LinkedIn page. For something more current see my blog.

On A Cure for Task Estimation Obsession
