I am fascinated by the art of software development.
How do you write great code? How do you document complex architectures? How do you lead teams and projects? How do you create interesting and effective development environments? How do you communicate with customers? How do you write useful requirements? How do you ensure that a system is maintainable? How do you educate developers? How do you test? How do you make systems scale?
Since most areas of software development interest me I like to vary my roles. I've worked as entrepreneur (founded two IT companies), chief of development, programmer, architect, team lead, teacher, and coach.
Regardless of role, my main area of expertise is Java and agile methodologies, preferably in combination. Within these two areas I try to keep myself up-to-date. I'm particularly fond of TDD (test-driven development) since I've seen the enormously positive effect that TDD has upon code quality and development speed.

"Your writing style is great, and the information that you provide is very useful ...
Your are an asset to the Scrum community"
"Henrik's book is a starter kit of basic practices that help teams move beyond
trying to do Scrum to executing Scrum well."
"Henrik's book isn't a philosophical explanation of why Scrum works or why you might want
to try this or that. It is a description of how one well-running agile team works."
"excellent document, serving as an adequate introduction to XP and Scrum"
"Henrik goes on to describe some of the more difficult - and rarely covered -
aspects of working in an agile organization, including coordinating the efforts of multiple Scrum teams"
"a great contribution to the body of Agile knowledge, and a fun read"
"I think it's the most useful book on agiledevelopment that I've read, and I've read lots of them!"
"This paper will be the one I'll recommend to people who want to know what this Scrum thing really is about"
"Even if you're not into Agile / Scrum / XP there's enough in here
to convince you (or your boss) to give it a go."
"the best (in the sense of 'most useful') essay I have read on agile development"
"Of all the Agile articles and books that I've read (and even those that I've written ;) ) I'd just like to congratulate you on
one of the most succinct, readable and convincing articles on what it actually means to do Agile on a daily basis"
Ett helt makalöst, underbart, war story-orienterat (Vi testade detta och det funkade/funkade inte hos oss)
dokument med klockren beskrivning av praktiska erfarenheter direkt från projektrummet.
Så bra att det kom tårar första gången jag läste det!!!
I like your paper more than I like any book I have read about Scrum!!"
I've written and presented quite a bit about Agile Project management, but I've to recognize that these guys are experts.
This PDF is a 90 Page guide to Scrum and XP Project Management, written in a way that both Business and Technical people can understand.
It's clear, it's honest, and more importantly, it's not trying to sell you anything.
One of the best guides on how to get up to speed with Scrum/XP development. Instead of merely providing dry review of the methodology, this guide presents a comprehensive overview of things that worked and didn't work when the company tackled SCRUM.
It has been enormously helpful to me in introducing scrum in our environment, and the practical guidance has saved us much time and effort.
The best article on Scrum I've seen. It's very practical, down to earth and all the examples are based on a real project, not some ideal, simplified scenario. Read it now.
