Quentin Gilbert, 18 years of software engineering experience, [too] much of it doing tedious traditional style engineering and project management!  Enough!!  Now it's time to do products and teaming right, without the pain.  There is a better, fun way that provides real value to stakeholers early and often.  With applied knowledge based on what truly works, you too can have fun with the systems you work on and the people you work with while providing real value.

As an Agilist, I hold 2 certifications, Scrum Master (CSM) and Scrum Practitioner (CSP).  I offer a 1-hour "how-to Scrum" presentation and coach teams that are considering Agile adoption.  If you just want to know a better way to work together, I promise the discussion will be valuable.

Rather than being stuck in traffic and more importantly, to contribute to our professional development community, I host the monthly Agile Leadership Network (DC-Chapter) and the Capital Area DotNet User Group meetings in Vienna, Va.  APLN is a busness networking group that addresses best practices for Agile (Scrum, Kanban or XP) teaming and adoption.  If you're not on this band-wagon yet, you should be since these practices provide the most value to stakeholders and users early.  CapArea.Net is a technical user group that invites you to read through screens of Microsoft.Net programming logic - be prepared to learn new technologies for the Web and Mobile applications.
