Cheryl M. Hammond | Northwest Cadence ALM Consultant and Practices Team Lead | @bsktcase
Cheryl Hammond has more than 14 years of experience as a software developer in the private and public sectors. She led her team's successful adoption of Scrum for a mission-critical regulatory compliance project under multi-agency state and federal government oversight, all of which lead her to believe that anything is possible. She is not sorry for her many biases, including strong preferences for servant-style leadership and team-based, holistic problem-solving, along with a strong aversion to agile zealotry. Cheryl leads the Northwest Cadence Practices Team, focusing on the ways in which agility, architecture, and test practices improve the lives of developers, strengthen teams, and deliver better software.
