Hi, I’m Chris Spagnuolo and this is my little corner of the world wide web. I’ve been in the software development industry for around 15 years. I’m a true believer in agile practices for software development and just about any other kind of production. In addition to being a huge agile proponent, I really value and try to communicate to others the value of customer enthusiasm and customer evangelism. I’m also very concerned about great design, branding, marketing. I have adopted a very Zen approach in everything I do from design and presentations to writing and speaking. Sometimes, simpler is better!
So what is edgecraft? I’m a huge Seth Godin fan. Seth likes to talk a lot about edgecraft. In Seth’s words: “Edgecraft is a methodical and measurable process that allows individuals and teams to inexorably identify the soft innovations that live on the edges of what already exists. The future belongs to people who can invent, implement, and sell the ideas–the free prizes–that become purple cows.” As an Edgecraft evangelist, I’m always hopping around the edges looking for something that I can turn into the future for you. It’s my passion.
Edgecraft, social media maven, presentation design, marketing and branding, Agile Software Development Practices.
