Fintan Palmer’s Summary
Two decades-worth of software development experience in everything from small start-ups to large corporate and public-sector bodies has given me experience of the mistakes that can be made and the successes that can be achieved in software projects.
As an active and enthusiastic practitioner of agile software development for the last number of years, I aim to bring this combined experience to bear and help deliver the real benefits of agile methods into software teams :- higher quality, reliable delivery and successful projects.
