About the author

Paul Flewelling began looking for a better way to build software after one fateful project that ticked all the boxes, yet failed to deliver what the customer needed. That search led him to help grow one of NZ's first Agile software teams. As word of the team's success spread, he also began training others. He currently coaches the product teams who are transforming NZ's largest newspaper company for the digital economy. He speaks nationally and internationally on all things Agile, shares coaching insights on his blog, co-hosts monthly meet-ups, and is often seen wisely stroking his beard.
I want to thank all the teams I've coached for coming on the journey with me. Your willingness to try out many of our crazy ideas and make them work inspires me to be a better coach.
Thank you to the many coaches I've worked and shared ideas with. You've always stretched me to think beyond my horizons; I'm humbled to work with such great humans.
Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my wife; I wouldn't be on this journey if it weren't for her.
