Andrea Rhodes

Andrea Rhodes

Andrea has over 10 years of experience within the management space. Her career path has certainly been a twisty one, to say the least. Starting off with a degree in English, she wound her way through technical writing in the manufacturing engineering industry, through to technical writing for a SaaS company, then a turn into change & release management, eventually leading her to Engineering Management where she currently works within the Client Platform space at Stitch Fix. In her free time, Andrea likes to spend time playing board games with her family, attending theater productions with her daughter, and reading psychological thriller books that she swears don’t keep her up at night.

My mother has a genius level IQ, and she taught me to do really hard puzzles. When I started getting difficult assignments at school, and especially when I started working, I discovered that everything is a puzzle. Puzzle skills prepare you for everything.
Before the first PC, before the first Apple, I was a computer nerd. I was the only student to build a computer in high school. I was the first student in college to have a computer terminal. As my focus became software, I wrote my own operating system, and learned every computer language and framework you have ever heard of. I taught waterfall and structured programming classes. I became a framework expert in my very first job.
While doing embedded (combined hardware/software) development, 6 years before the Agile Manifesto, I discovered “Agile” as an extension of the Rapid Prototyping framework. As I carefully experimented with it and documented it, but when XP and Scrum were published, I lost my chance at fame. But as I became a Scrum advocate, I found it to have mixed success; less success than the methods I had developed. I discovered David Anderson and went to his first conference on Kanban. I discovered Mary Poppendieck’s Lean Software Development, and became a reviewer of her second 2 books. Lean had the answers to the problems of Scrum.
With certification in Agile and Lean, I developed methods that visibly increase team throughput quickly, and teams loved them. I helped some team switch to Kanban, but most of the teams I work with continue to do Scrum Guide Scrum and add Lean and XP methods. Almost every team I work with improves, and some become high performance teams. I now work to scale this to the entire organization, what they now call Business Agility. It works!
