Well, My name is Allan Cesarini, and I work as a Solutions Architect.
I live and work in São Paulo – Brazil.
I am here to get a deeper understanding of the Agile Manifesto and the SCRUM process to get things done with proper teamwork.
I feel that this kind of process, which is focused on getting things done effectively, matches my personality way more than previous project management and strategies.
Got here thanks to my managers! Kudos to them!!

Allan, it is great to see you here! I was in São Paulo a long time ago for work. I still remember the 7-hour lunch/dinner we had that day! One of the best meals I’ve ever eaten and one of the most productive work lunches at the same time!

Omaha, NE
Why are you here?
Always looking to network, share experiences, mentor, learn, and chat with others.

I love agile. I love scrum. Bolstering my own experience with the perspective and experiences of others is what continuous improvement is all about.

Just reading through this thread I can see the diversity of this group so far, both in terms of geography and experience. I’m most excited to see us all come together and bounce ideas off each other, solve issues, make suggestions, teach, and learn.. but mostly just enjoy some good healthy discussion.
And, how did you find us?
An email from some agile guy named Bob or something. 😉
