Profile: Alan E. Cyment

Alan Cyment loves seeing software development from a human perspective.  He strives for honest, passion-driven, great-but-not-perfect emergent design. For software for humans, rather than machines; looking people in the eyes, rather than reading e-mail. He organized the first open CSM certification in Latin America in 2006, created the largest, most active agile-software related discussion group in Spanish, and is currently co-organizing the first all-agile Latin American conference, to take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in October 2008.

Alan is currently the only native Spanish-speaking CST in the world, and is continually aiming at expanding the frontiers of Scrum, especially in countries where agility is finding it hard to make its way forward.
