What I Do

I coach software development organizations to higher levels of productivity. I reveal impediments to success and work with clients to transform their process and organization to economically deliver software that satisfies its customers.

Specifically I:

• Assess development practices
• Develop strategies for improvement
• Mentor and coach teams in transition
• Share knowledge and understanding through experiential workshops.

Quick Notes

• If you downloaded PatternSummaries3x5Expanded.doc before Jan 29, 2007, you may want to download again. I corrected some typographical errors and omissions.
• George Dinwiddie took the Pattern Summaries, modified the format to work with single feed 3x5 cards, and has posted Open Office and PDF versions here.
