Chances are, if you meet me in the real world, I'll have a cup of coffee in my hand. 

I am Principal Solutions Engineer in Enterprise Agility at Atlassian, where I help organizations reach better outcomes and unleash the potential of every team.

Over the last 20 years, I have helped transform how people work at companies such as Walmart, GEICO, Capital One and more.

I was one of the Delivery Management track founders for the International Consortium of Agile, which included me defining and detailing learning objectives in areas of Agile Project and Delivery Management and Delivery at Scale. I am the author of Metrics Cookbook and Zombie Project Management. With over 600 articles posted, I write about improving things and less about controlling and managing them.

Founder of Agile Baltimore, an organization dedicated to promoting Agile in the Baltimore, Maryland region.
