Tony Hetherington
About
Tony Hetherington, was first exposed to an agile approach in 2002 while working in Thailand in a role that he later found out would be called. The developers and the business actually sat down together and talked things through. While working as a Project Manager in several companies subsequent to this he noticed a pattern where the most successful projects always involved more human interaction than just following the documentation. This started his real agile journey as he set out to reproduce the success he experienced in Thailand. Back in Ireland, while working on a large complex project that involved several project coordinators to keep track of multiple vendors building several different components Tony used a scrum like framework to keep the team in sync and ensure that components from the vendors where ready for inclusion in the main product on a just in time basis. Since then Tony has tackled the introduction of scrum into an agency environment and in his current role is exploring different approaches towards synchronising multiple teams working with different backlogs or where possible using a single backlog with a scaled scrum approach.
