Marc Evers’s Summary

I work as an independent coach, trainer and consultant in the field of (agile) software development and software processes. I train and mentor people in technical skills, agile processes, project management skills, and personal skills. In this way, I help IT organizations becoming true learning organizations that focus on continuous reflection and improvement: apply, inspect, adapt.

I also organize workshops, courses, and conferences on agile software development, extreme programming, systems thinking, lean software development, theory of constraints applied to IT, and personal growth (the latter based on the tools by Virginia Satir). I'm co-founder of the Agile Open and XP Days Benelux conferences.

Marc Evers’s Specialties:

agile software development, Lean Software Development, Extreme Programming, Scrum, systems thinking, retrospectives, refactoring, test driven development, Theory of Constraints, agile risk management, software process improvement, systemic coaching, Satir tools
