Agile in Fortune 200 Enterprises

[James McGovern]

Working on an idea for an upcoming conference where I am attempting to
construct a panel of those with experience in using SCRUM, XP or other agile
approaches within Fortune 200 enterprises. I run across a lot of folks who
are consultants to Fortune 200 enterprises but very few who are actual
employees of Fortune 200 enterprises and would like the assistance of this
list in identifying several panel members with this particular background.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated...

I am an actual employee. I teach XP in-house; work with XP/agile
projects as well as other approaches; work with process improvement
teams (e.g. CMMI) to understand and adopt XP; and participate in various
ways as an XP/agile "champion".

James,

Are you still looking for agile practitioners in large
companies?

Which conference are you thinking of? I almost qualify. I work
for First Data Corp (Fortune 250, but not quite 200).

We've been doing XP in a small corner of the company since
1999. Many of us spent 10 or 20 years doing things the
"old-fashioned way" elsewhere in the company. A picture of
our alien "Chet" appears in the XP "pink book" and several of us
are mentioned in the forward to it. Ann Anderson, Ron and
Chet's co-author on the pink book, and Ken Boucher, proprietor
of the fairlygoodpractices.com web-site work in our group.

let me know

Doug Swartz
