About speaker:
I've been working in projects for 22 years. I started as a project planner in construction projects, and then moved to large process-plant projects. In parallel, I was also involved in IT projects and
startups.

I gradually moved from project planning into the wider project management domain by helping project managers and companies to improve their project, program, and portfolio management
systems.

Nowadays, I'm spending most of my time contributing to standards (P3.express, NUPP, PRINCE2®, PRINCE2 Agile®, and PMBOK® Guide), and developing eLearning courses in our company, Management Plaza.

Design Thinking. Does it bring value in project management ?

About speaker:
I'm a great believer in agile (small "a") and lean practices to make organizations grow and improve. For twenty years I've written software, managed teams, picked up new practices, dropped a few, always working to improve myself and the people around me. I'm a speaker, blogger, trainer and practitioner of agile practices, both technical and procedural. I've been elbow deep in TDD and automated unit testing. I've used scrum, and liked kanban. I played different parts in agile teams, as developer, tester, product owner, and sometime manager. I've also done some marketing, sales, and all-round business and organizational roles. If there's anything I've learned (except to shut my mouth on occasion) is that the way we communicate, the words we choose, have so much impact on our chances of success. Tools are nice, but as the agile manifesto says, we like people better. And that's what I'm trying to improve wherever I go. I speak the language of developers, managers, product owners and marketers. With language comes understanding, then trust, team work and success. If you're interested in one of the following I can help: Unit testing and TDD Lean product development surrounded by uncertainty Agile and lean strategy and implementation (scrum, XP, lean and kanban). Process improvement and removing bottlenecks.
