Who we are
Hello! We are Alex and Chris, the founders of B-Agile. We both come from a software development background with extensive experience in delivering and supporting numerous projects and products. We’ve seen the good, the bad, and the ugly! Looking back, we admit we’ve done more than our fair share of overtime and experienced poor work-life balance.
We first came together in 2008, working on the same team to deliver enhancements for a company operating in a traditional manner to deliver projects, which often included supporting fragile legacy systems. In 2010, our team was given an opportunity to rewrite a failing product that was no longer fit for purpose and required a complete overhaul.
As a team, we decided to explore better and more enjoyable ways to deliver work while improving our work-life balance. This is when we tried Scrum for the first time and began incorporating value-added practices such as Extreme Programming, DevOps, and more, to help us deliver a potentially releasable increment at least by the end of each sprint.
We successfully delivered a replacement product on time, with no defects, no overwhelming end-release pressures, and a shared sense of pride between the business and the development team in saying, “This is our product.” From that point on, we never looked back, continuously striving to improve at delivering business value as early as possible and producing the highest quality, maintainable products.
Our goal and passion are now to help others build high-performing organisations and teams. We aim to foster a growing Agile culture that enables people to be more effective and efficient in delivering value to their customers. Our greatest joy comes from helping others achieve what they once thought was impossible.
