My Agile journey began at HERE - formerly Navteq. Before ourAgile adoption, Navteq used a traditional gated development process.As a software developer, I experienced first hand the painof working in a siloed organization. Since the adoption, I haveparticipated in a Coach mentorship program and have met others inthe Agile community through conferences such as the RetrospectiveFacilitators Gathering. Before working in software, I worked asa singing waiter, musician and a voice coach for a small youththeater. My interest in technology and learning was fostered duringmy pursuit of a Master’s degree in Instructional Technology.
