Simon Jones

Simon is lead trainer at TCB and has been around since the early nineties. He is interested in the 'commercial dynamic' of software development, ie. how to turn projects into sound investments. Originally from a technical background he now concentrates on the organisational, behavioural and social aspects of software delivery.

He is an advocate of Agile Software Development because '...[it] can produce the best empirical and logical evidence for its successes and can correct many of the problems that have arisen from the continued over-emphasis of methodology. It's an approach for the practioners, those of us who must make our living doing it'.

He always enjoys correspondance, but prefers snail-mail.
