Details of Professional Experience
Coaching
agile Pete specialises in “full relationship” agile leadership roles where his first goal is to understand the context the project team is working in, before suggesting any change. Once he appreciates the day to day constraints and issues the client faces he can then better support them during project initiation so that their project is set up for Agile success.
In more formal organisations this often involves active participation in Agile business case preparation. He then leads the team through the first few iterations until they own the new process. Once the team confidently owns the new Agile way of working, his leadership role reverts to one of Agile mentoring with the focus being knowledge transfer to speed up their transition to Agile self sufficiency

Consulting
As an experienced agile consultant and presenter agile Pete is able to relate to all levels within the organisation, whether it is facilitating casual “brown bag” Agile lunch time sessions for project teams or formal governance group Agile reporting. As part of his Agile consulting "tool kit" he has identified specialised Agile analysis and Agile governance practices that help senior managers better understand the value of Agile as a mainstream approach, so they can more confidently provide effective Agile project leadership.
Sharing with others is important so he regularly contributes at an international and local level. He has presented Agile topics at local PMI user groups, PRINCE2 and IIBA conferences as well as Business Analyst World in Sydney and Melbourne, and XP2010 in Norway.

Collaborating to Build successful Agile Teams
Agile Pete has a 30 year history in software development, the last half of which has been focused on working exclusively with Agile project delivery teams. His experience covers a wide range of organisations having worked with Agile project teams in small entrepreneurial and large corporate businesses, various size government departments and a number of vendor organisations. Examples of the organisations that he has recently collaborated with to make their Agile projects more successful includes Commercial Fishery Services (Fishserve), Quotable Value (QV), NZ Police and FMG.
Based on his experience he has learnt that project teams new to Agile require a combination of context based Agile coaching and formal Agile training if they are to quickly becoming a high performance team. To support his coaching he tailors both his introductory and advanced training courses for each Agile project team.
One of the major challenges he face is helping traditional project managers and PMOs used to working in a PRINCE2® style environment understand the need to use a collaborative rather than a directive style of leadership if their Agile project teams are to become highly successful. To fast track this understanding, working with Paul he have developed the specialist PRINCESS course (Prince2 Run IN Collaborative Environments Supporting Scrum).
