Certifications Received
James Shore certifies that Rob Myers is, at a minimum, qualified to teach others the skill Extreme Programming, based on this evidence:
I hired Rob to work with me on an XP project for six months in 2001. For the last two months, I moved off the team as he coached a team including three other developers. He impressed me with his knowledge of XP and appreciation for doing the "right thing."
I have also seen that Rob is an effective trainer based on working with him to create and deliver training courses.
James Shore certifies that Rob Myers is, at a minimum, qualified to teach others the skill Test-Driven Development, based on this evidence:
I spent five days creating a TDD course with Rob. We delivered the course together twice. Rob clearly understands the material and is an engaging presenter.
Certifications Given
Rob Myers certifies that James Shore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill agile or XP coaching, based on this evidence:
I worked with Jim for 6 months on an XP project, and he was always a creative, practical problem-solver.
I worked with him when we built a "Test-Driven ASP.NET" course using his NUnitAsp framework. I got to see the architectural changes he was making to the framework, and his understanding of OO is exceptional and, again, eminently practical.
He wrote the book. Literally. I was quite impressed with the professionalism and pragmatism (and great ideas!) contained within _The Art of Agile Development_
Rob Myers certifies that Ward Cunningham is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill creating agile tools and techniques, based on this evidence:
Ward invented the Wiki, and first used it as a Design Patterns repository; he co-invented CRC cards and Extreme Programming. He invented FIT. Look behind many of the major innovations of software over the past 15 or so years, and there's Ward lurking quietly, and modestly, behind them.
Ward is also gregarious, approachable, and encouraging. His coaching style is gentle, and often subtle and indirect. His most simple statements (such as "test-first is not a testing technique" or "code what you know") often contain practical wisdom.
