Keynote - James GrenningJames Grenning, founder of Wingman Software, trains, coaches and consults worldwide. With more than thirty years of software development experience, both technical and managerial, James brings a wealth of knowledge, skill, and creativity to software development teams and their management. As his professional roots are in embedded software, he is leading the way to introduce Agile development practices to that challenging world. See James' articles for applying Agile to embedded software development.
In 2011 James authored and published Test-Driven Development for Embedded C. This book is helping embedded C and C++ programmers around the world to improve their software, product quality and work-life. TDDEC has been translated to Chinese, Korean, and Japanese.
James was Agile before it was called Agile. He is one of the original authors of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. He is a seasoned extreme programming coach and trainer, coaching his first XP team in 1999.
James has made a significant contribution to Agile teams with his invention of Planning Poker. In a pragmatic moment, James restarted a stalled planning meeting. No one could settle on an estimate without endless debate and discussion. He had all the participants write their estimates secretly on a note card, then reveal them simultaneously. Agreement required no unnecessary debate. Areas of difference could be discussed or deferred. The meeting was no longer stalled. Soon, everyone around the table had a handful of cards and Planning Poker was born. That insight was the seed that has led to more fun, productive, and accurate planning sessions for Agile teams. James can bring that kind of pragmatic action to your teams.

Keynote - Robert TiptonRobert Tipton, BIO: Robert Tipton, Founder and CEO of R S Tipton, Incorporated, is a practicing change architect and facilitator, keynote speaker and author, who lives, breathes, sleeps and eats transformation. His real world stories are based on recent, relevant experience-in fact, it’s likely he’s just gotten off the phone with a client just before he jumps on stage to speak about creating real, sustainable organizational health and performance. His clients span the gamut, from Fortune 50 businesses, to governmental agencies, educational institutions, non-profits and public infrastructure initiatives-but one thing is central in all of them... They’ve usually tried other approaches to change first, and have failed. Sometimes epically. He’s a former CIO/CTO in corporate life, as well as the managing director of a major marketing and branding firm. He’s been “in the arena” for more nearly four decades, architecting and facilitating transformational approaches for his clients and his employers. The author of three books, he’s been a keynote speaker for more than 30 years, inspiring audiences across the world to look at the process of change very differently. One of his favorite sayings is, “Change is Hard!- Until it Isn’t...” And, change isn’t so hard when we choose it. Change can be VERY difficult if we mandate it.
