[_] AgileBear?

Hello there!

 

Dan gave me the heads up that I was a smidgeon e-famous. (I was hoping for a
big Slashdot mention... but hey!)

 

Alas, I am the man responsible for AgileBear.

 

I'm Bristol based, working around the world training and coaching Agile
(particularly Scrum). There's between 3 and 4 of us normally working under
the AB umbrella at any one time.

 

I used to work as a  Senior Agile Coach and consultant with BT (Thanks for
remembering Dan! :-P), and I set up AB last year.  With AB I've worked with
some major blue chips and numerous smaller companies. Dan's right that we
tend to do a lot of Certified Scrum Master training... seems very popular at
the moment. We sell more of those then the rest of the other courses put
together. 

 

BTW, It's really cool to see a south west community fostered. (I didn't know
this place existed till Dan mentioned it. ) I've seen far too many friends
take the long dark road up to London for fame and fortune! 

 

Lastly, I apologise for the website... my scripting powers are now so weak,
I'm surprised I didn't put animated GIFs and scrolling banner texts all over
the thing.  

 

Gimmie a shout if you have any questions. (Unless it's about gymnastic hairy
fat men....)

 

Nigel

 

P.S Looking forward to seeing you guys at Enable next week!
