My name is Luis Gonçalves and I am an Agile Coach, Co-Author, Speaker and a Blogger.

I have been working in the software industry since 2003, being an Agile practitioner since 2007. I have a lot of experience in integrating sequential projects phases like localization into an Agile Framework and pioneering Agile adoption at different companies and different contexts.

I am a co-author of a book called: “Getting Value Out of Agile Retrospectives”. The book can be downloaded here:

I have a technical background yet my passion lies at the Management side where I am a Management 3.0 passionate.

I am a co-founder of a MeetUp group in Munich, Germany called High Performing Teams. Me and my colleagues created this group with the vision of “Define the future of Management and Leadership” . We are aiming to collaboratively generate several ideas/theories and try them out in our professional life.

I like to write and share ideas with the world and this made me a passionate blogger. I get inspiration from my professional life and from all books that I read every week. You can contact me via email or follow me in tweeter. Follow @lgoncalves1979

What can you get as a reader of my blog?

I try to keep my blog as practical as possible, I create a blog where people come to look for ideas. You will find several practical exercises and advices in several topics within the Agile context. You can find topics touching: retrospectives, polemic management topics, coaching advices, conflict management, etc.

Luis is a certified Scrum Master and Product Owner. He has pioneered agile adoption at different companies and different contexts.
