Adrian Wible (new york, new york, U.S.)
Adrian Wible’s self-chosen title is “Software Development Catalyst”; he
works for ThoughtWorks, Inc., mostly in project management roles, but
strives to fend off suggestions of being “post-technical” by getting his hands
dirty in software development from time to time. He was indoctrinated
in the Waterfall/SDLC mode of development as a developer at IBM, and
moved into project, people, and process management roles throughout his
20+ year career there and at Dell Computer Corporation. Adrian joined
ThoughtWorks and discovered the Agile Manifesto (and XP, and Scrum,
and...) in 2005, and realized that project work and management could be
fun, exciting, and rewarding. He hasn’t looked back since.
Adrian can be reached at [email protected].
