We are also collaborating on a writing project.

William Pietri is the owner of Scissor, a small technology and Agile consulting firm based in San Francisco. I brought William in to Ternary Software while I was consulting there to kick-start a team with XP practices. To date the developers on that team are still the best performing developers at Ternary, and now able to successfully coach others in some of the XP practices. William would be my coach/trainer of choice to coach teams in Agile software design and development.

I have worked with Luke Hohmann, the founder and CEO of Enthiosys, on a large-scale implementation of IID/Agile at a Silicon Valley security company, and on other smaller projects.
