Finally come to your site today. Thanks for your comments and link to my blog. Sounds like we are on the same page to enable agility rather than comand and control. A mature industry shoud be simple, agile and cost efficient. IT industry in this regard still have a long way to go.
The link to my site does not seems work right. I have connected the dots of my thought to put together a book proposal “EA for dummies”. Please review and comment for me to improve.

I really enjoyed Chris’s ScrumMaster course and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning better (the best?) ways to manage software development projects!
Better yet: anything in life that is time/resource dependent! (Isn’t that everything?)
Thanks Chris! I’ll remember you when I’m rich!
Chris is an Amazing Scrum Leader; I realized that when I was working with him in Dublin, Ireland with one of our Customer while he was educating them on Agile/Scrum.
I have also worked with Chris on a True Agile Project & I enjoyed every day of that project.
Chris, you Rock!!!

Hi Chris,
The training last week was great and I am excited to use the Scrum framework for development projects but also to apply the framework non-development projects in and outside of work!!

Chris,
Really enjoyed your Managing software debt session at the Agile conference in Vancouver. This was an incredible eye opener for someone who is now responsible and accountible for a massive legacy code base with an enormous amount of debt.
Chris,

I never thought Scrum was so interesting. In the two weeks time, Chris made so many aspects of Scrum more than clear.
It was really great to get started on Scrum, with Chris as the trainer.
Nice post. I run a tech industry news blog at techindustrynews.org - you should check it out!
