Certifications Received

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_

Lisa Crispin certifies that James Shore is, at a minimum, qualified as a master, capable of innovating in the skill agile testing, based on this evidence:

Jim's presentations, writings and our direct conversations have given me a lot of guidance in driving development with tests and knowing the right tests to have at different levels. He has changed a lot of my original preconceptions and as a result my team is more effective at testing and test automation. His book is a terrific resource for anyone doing agile development, tester, developer or other role.
