Jean Tabaka, Agile Fellow with Rally Software, is continuing on her 30-year path of learning about software development principles, processes, and practices for people. She seeks a humane approach to bringing high value to our communities of creators and consumers. This has led her to move into disciplines that reach beyond traditional Agile or Lean frameworks: systems thinking, complexity theory, design thinking as well as work in empathy and vulnerability. Jean holds a Masters in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University. She is the author of “Collaboration Explained” and a variety of articles on Agile, organizational change, team dynamics, Lean thinking, and other associated topics. Occasionally, Jean blogs at www.rallydev.com/agileblog and can be followed on twitter as jeantabaka. When home in Boulder, CO, she'd invite you over for some wine and some music while gazing at her backyard over a Flat Iron Mountains sunset. Meanwhile, you can find her at jean.tabakarallydev.com.
