I have managed Oxygen’s Software Development Team for five years.

Spiral JettyEach year, our aspirations grow to encompass widening arcs of project, team, and company.

It all seems planned but it’s a pattern of intended and emergent strategies. Agility embraced from the bottom up with the support of our CTO, Steve Morgan.

Beautiful.

About Ken Judy

I am an executive leader, software developer, father and husband trying to do more good than harm. I am an agile practitioner. I say this fully aware I say nothing. Sold as a tool to solve problems, agile is more a set of principles that encourage us to confront problems. Broad adoption of the jargon has not resulted in wide embrace of these principles. I strive to create material and human good by respecting co-workers, telling truth to employers, improving my skills, and caring for the people affected by the software I help build.
