Specialises In (based on submitted proposals)
Hello,
my name is David.
Over the past 15 years I have been quite active in the Agile community. I started my journey in Austria, getting my feet wet with XP and the wonderful principles and practices that came with it and finally, in 2004, I took the plunge to become a Scrum Master.
I decided to travel the world and apply my passion of Scrum in as many industries and cultures that I could find. We eventually lead to be working on every continent and in many countries.
I have been to the Agile 200X conferences ever since 2006, sat on a table with Version One before it became a big player in the industry, was suggested to be elected onto the board of the Agile Alliance as the only person under 30 (back then). I actually was in a CSM course given by Ken Schwaber, had the pleasure of getting some lean insights from Mister Anderson and I spent my whole career trying to learn from my University degree and background, so that I could find a way to marry both.
My claim to fame is that I gave the first public CS< course in Australia (ever) together with Jens Oestegaard and therefore, jokingly so, we introduced Scrum to our friends down-under.
I helped MIke Cohn proof read his second book and while I am not vocal, I have been a supported of this community ever since the days of the Yahoo mailing list scrumdevelopment.

keyboard_arrow_downThe Crisis of Doing Agile
40 Mins
Talk
Advanced
Agile can be the coming of Age of an entire industry, but to most, it remains a deeply misunderstood collage of tools and practices that continuously fail to fulfill their promise of 'cheaper and faster' something.
This session explores the etymology of the crisis of 'doing agile', and the dangers of willfully ignoring the principles that guide it. We will delve into the convergence of historical causality within the gnarled roots of Taylorism, with the future being crafted by Millennials at the crest of the conscious capitalism wave.
Failure to recognize this opportunity will sweep aside the remaining giants that still feed on the apples of the fake economy; profit and shareholder value. Others will join the pews and lend their voice to the choir of the Information Age.
