About

Title: Principal Agile Coach

Darren Taylor

I've been working in software development for eighteen years now and during that time have experienced a range of roles, approaches and environments. From a software developer and tester through to project manager through to ScrumMaster, from hardcore Prince 2 through to all things Agile, from a multinational FTSE 100 companies through to smaller privately owned enterprises I've undergone a bit of a journey.

For the past thirteen years of this journey I've chosen to work with Agile projects and teams. The reason for that is quite simple. Of the different ways I've worked I enjoy this the most. I find it the most fulfilling and rewarding. A large part of that fulfilment and reward comes from the fact that I believe an Agile approach to be a great way in which to develop and deliver valuable business solutions.

I look forward to continuing on this path into the near future and beyond.
