Scrum master

What do you get when you cross an Ecologist a php developer and a Scrum Master?

An idealistic pragmatic empiricist, I would say.

  • a good Scrum Master must be an idealist, to persevere in the challenge that is helping others embrace Agile,
  • a php developer must be a pragmatist, being a member of a language community that forms the underdog of the programming community,
  • an ecologist is an empiricist, by training but also by necessity, as it is the only way to grasp the complexity of ecological systems

That's me in any case. Of course, there is more - we are all so much more than our profession. But professionally at least, these, I think, are the main forces that formed me.

I work at SF Professionals

SF Professionals was formed in 2021 and I joined them at the end of the year as their second employee. More than a job or an employer, SF Professionals is a community where we bundle our idealism to pursue our ambition to change the world through Agile.

Serious Scrum

I am a writer and editor at Serious Scrum , a great community for Scrum practitioners to connect and share experiences, and one of the forces for Agile in The Netherlands.

I try to kepe my articles on the is website too, where you can read them for free.

Agile is a concept we all continuously talk about, but what is it really?
