Je suis le co-fondateur de Goood.

Nous aidons les dirigeants qui ont des projets de logiciel maison, développés par des équipes maison, à mieux dormir en chassant les cauchemars logiciels que sont, par exemple : 
- Les difficultés d’alignement inter-équipes ou inter-directions
- Une gestion de portefeuille et priorisation obscures
- Un manque de maturité managériale des leads tech
- Une dette technique exorbitante qu'on ne sait plus résorber
- Des problèmes de qualité, fiabilité et rapidité des livraisons
- La dépendance critique à quelques collaborateurs indispensables
- Une agilité en panne (on voit ce que ça coûte, on ne voit pas bien les bénéfices)
- Des effets ciseau run/build en période de changement rapide (construire et maintenir simultanément)

Perso, j'ai commencé mon parcours agile en 2001 avec la découverte de TDD puis XP. Entre 2006 et 2008 j'ai élargi mes perspectives avec le Lean Software Development et Scrum.

Parallèlement, en 2004, j'ai co-fondé ma boutique de conseil avec 2 collègues. Aujourd'hui nous sommes 30 consultants-coachs-formateurs basés à Paris, Lyon et Nice.

Je travaille principalement avec des dirigeants pour les aider à bien maîtriser l'agilité et ses modèles mentaux, afin de l'intégrer dans le management et pour qu'ils aient la posture et le sponsorship appropriés aux changements à l'œuvre dans leur entreprise.
