I did a “Lean and Agile” presentation for the management team at my present assignment and the minute after I finished, Erik entered the room starting to prepare a presentation of his own. It turns out we are working for the same customer, only he’s working a level above me as an agile mentor for top management.
It was interesting to meet Erik and hear his views on introducing agile and lean into an enterprise. Erik is an agile profile and independent consultant from southern Sweden. He is a strong XP supporter since many years.
I have been working as a software consultant for more than 11 years. Because of that I am an eager supporter of lean principles and agile methods.
I used to discuss lot of funny and useful things with Eric wrt the organzational focus and commitment on going into complete agile xp way. I am a strong believer of ISO and CMMI when it comes to improving the internal efficiency or Lead time in deliveries
I miss Eric nowadays
Cheers
Raj
