Alain Delachaux

Alain Delachaux

Je suis tombé dans la marmite Agile en 2018, après 17 ans de vie dans l'IT et la conception de produits.
D'abord Product Owner, puis Scrum Master. Aujourd’hui, j’accompagne les équipes dans leur découverte de l’Agilité.
Je me considère comme agnostique en matière d’Agilité. Pour moi les frameworks sont des outils utiles, à condition d’être bien compris et utilisés avec discernement.
Mon objectif est de rester fidèle au Manifeste Agile et à son esprit, tout en étant attentif aux impacts humains, organisationnels et environnementaux — notamment en promouvant un numérique responsable.
