Karl Scotland – Using Agile to Deliver Value
About

My name is Karl Scotland, and this is where I'll publish my thoughts and experiences on using agile software development methods and practices such as XP, Scrum and in particular Kanban Systems for Software Development.
I'm currently working as a Agile Coach for EMC Consulting (UK) - the consultancy formerly known as Conchango - and am a founder member of the Lean Software and Systems Consortium.
