Craig Larman Management consultant, and author of some popular texts on agile methods and on software analysis & design: Practices for Scaling Lean & Agile Development Scaling Lean & Agile Development Agile & Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide Applying UML & Patterns: Introduction to Object-Oriented Analysis & Design, & Iterative Development My current focus is scaling lean and agile methods for a single product group of 200 to 2000 people (Asia, Europe & NA—usually multisite including offshore), and large (10,000+ people) enterprise transformations to lean and agile methods. Collecting these as Large-Scale Scrum. Much of my work is in large embedded systems (telecomm, control systems, printers, ...), investment banking, and energy and exploration industries.
