Welcome to Agile Skywalker

Posted by Simon Baker

I’ve invited our effervescent friend Nana Abban to contribute to the blog. Nana joined the crew a while back and we invited him to join us at Agile2008 where he did a splendid job drawing attention to us. Those of you at the conference will remember him as Agile Skywalker. That’s him in the t-shirt. And that really is his job title.

Coming up with silly job titles is our futile rebellion against the fixation one of our clients has for them. It’s also fun to try and get one past the eastern European girl who is responsible for creating the security passes.
