About Wouter Lagerweij

I’m an Agile Coach and enthusiast, software developer, architect, or whatever you want to call it. I’ve been working with XP since 1998, and in recent years been preforming the various scrum roles (Scrum Master, Product Owner and, of course, Team Member) and in general introducing Scrum to companies.

I also write sometimes-work-related content on my private blog
