Hi there. This is George Pefanis. I'm an Enterprise Coaching Professional with strengths on Kanban, Scrum, DAD, SAFe and Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) Agile methodologies. Why am I teaching Kanban? Because it works! I have over 20 years in technical experience in n-tier architecture, design and development. Evolutionary driven change works in technology and business. This is your first step in your learning journey and I would like the opportunity to join you in this alternate path to agility.
