About
Andrew Rusling, Agile Coach on a journey to better. I boost peoples morale, by helping them to take charge of their destiny and achieve their goals.
Starting with the chaos of a small unstructured company I quickly moved onto a large bureaucracy. I realised that neither was a great way of delivering valuable software. My search for a better way led me to TDD, which I embraced wholeheartedly and put in place wherever I worked. Along the way I found out about agile & Scrum. At Man Investments in London I worked in a Scaled Scrum division and knew that I had found what I was looking for. Upon my return to Australia and a new role in a small company, I seized the opportunity to introduce Scrum. It was a great success that led to me taking on the role of Agile Coach in CSG International, where I was able to fully focus on my efforts on organisational change. Gamesys Games Studios department has now been transformed from a waterfall approach to Scaled Scrum and is working well. In the newly formed Digital Catapult I instituted an agile project management approach, coupled to a high quality development culture. Assisting Suncorp with their BI transformation gave a chance to experience distributed Scrum. I completely transformed Halfbrick Studios in the two years I was there helping them to ship more awesome games. After a brief stint in Suncorp delivering their most important strategic company project, I move to Telstra where I am working with other Agile Coaches to transforms Telstra to Scrum.
