Willem van den Ende (Living Software)– willem

I am currently working as an independent software developer, trainer, coach and
consultant, based in the Netherlands. I enable organisations to continuously create and
add value through software development and deployment.

I strive to do only those activities that really add value, to empower myself and others, and
to improve teamwork, quality, and pleasure. I recognize that each organisation, team, and
individual has a unique context and capabilities. I leverage these capabilities by looking at
what works well, and adding to that.

Since 2000 I spend my time supporting organisations in becoming agile. I do so by
teaching courses, mentoring and coaching software development teams, organizing
conferences, courses, workshops and tutorials and by writing for magazines, my blog and
systemsthinking.net. As of July 2006, I serve as a board member to the Agile Alliance.
