Ashley Does Agile
About Me
I have been practicing agile since 2014. I used to think scrum, and project management all together was a wash. Who needs ’em? I have since changed my mind 🙂 Turns out, project management is alive and well and generally makes teams happier and more productive. I received my CSM through the Scrum Alliance in January 2015. I received my SAFe Practitioner (SP) cert in January 2017, and have been practicing SAFe for the last year with a rapidly growing organization that is scaling to meet the demands of the market. I’ve used agile to help implement projects varying from business intelligence to application development. Some of my “projects” include reporting dashboards, data migrations, application development, and most recently, learning the ways of CI/CD and microservices.

Why agile?
I don’t think it could have been any other way. Simple things such as taking a less efficient route from point A to point B always leaves me with a twinge of irritation. I drive on efficiency.
Top 3 Reasons to use Agile
- Breaking work into bite size chunks makes everyone happy
- Allows for continous feedback loops with team members and stakeholders
- Collaboration! Your team evolves and gets better over time
