Informazioni sull?autore

Paul Flewelling began looking for a better way to build software after one fateful project that ticked all the boxes, yet failed to deliver what the customer needed. That search led him to help grow one of NZ's first Agile software teams. As word of the team's success spread, he also began training others. He currently coaches the product teams who are transforming NZ's largest newspaper company for the digital economy. He speaks nationally and internationally on all things Agile, shares coaching insights on his blog, co-hosts monthly meet-ups, and is often seen wisely stroking his beard.
