After working in the video game industry, on four titles, where 60-80 hrs was normal in an attempt to counteract the chaos that was the development cycle. I was lucky enough to find a position at a company who had just begun to embrace Extreme Programming. Since then I have sought out Agile teams and promoted Agile methodologies at each company I have worked with. I have also learned a lot about Agile as well as how and when to apply various techniques. This has helped me mentor other developers and teams ranging in size from 3 developers to 3 dozen or more. Currently I am consulting teams as a developer, coach, and occasional speaker.
