About

What is the future of Big Agile? Jeff Dalton thinks this is our industry’s biggest challenge, and he’s been studying it for years. As the large adopters in the federal government and corporate sector begin to adopt agile, they’ll bring their habits, culture, and bureaucracies with them, and in dozens of podcasts, articles, books, and keynote speeches Jeff has been talking about getting in front of the wave. A veteran technologist and leadership coach, Jeff has been a Chief Technology Officer, Chief Technology Executive, VP of Product Development, CEO, and Agile Evangelist for over 30 years including time with Hewlett Packard, Ernst and Young, Polk, Broadsword, and AgileCxO.
