Contributor Profile: Paul Ellarby

While Paul is an expert in agile and lean development methods and their effects on organizational structures, his true focus is delivering high-value software to solve pressing business issues, or to take advantage of the current market. This has enabled him to lead organizations in adopting new approaches to software development, without losing sight of the real reason and need for such an adoption – that the methods currently being used are no longer working, and a more effective set of principles and practices are vital to the long-term viability of the business.

He leads engagements in forming and training software development teams, working with executives to make them understand their move to a more adaptive leadership model, and enabling geographically-distributed organizations to strengthen their collaboration and delivery capabilities.
