About

Hello Dear Reader,

Thank you for taking the time to check this page. I am Sameer Sumant Bendre – born and brought up in Nagpur, India. I completed my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Technology and have been in IT industry since my graduation in 1999.

I have been a developer, business analyst, tester, project manager, agile enthusiast/practitioner and a coach. I got introduced to agile practices around 2005 and have been learning and implementing them in consulting engagements.

A practicing agilist with a keen focus on quality and adaptability, I would like to share my experiences – success/failures, questions/suggestions about all things agile (primarily) and on things that can help me grow as a compassionate learner. I am always looking for ways to improve on accomplishing new goals – be it personal or professional life.

My past involvement as volunteer with Scrum Alliance, PMI Atlanta Agile and Global Agile Community of practice have helped shaped my career immensely. I have had a chance to contribute to:

PMBOK Guide 5th Edition (Scope Management chapter) by PMI

And as a reviewer to following books:
Essential Scrum by Kenneth Rubin
Andrew Pham’s book – “Scrum in Action”

I love music, shiny gadgets, cooking and exploring different things with my wife! You can expect this “spice of life” showing these various flavors on the menu.
