Chet Hendrickson is the first signatory to the Agile Manifesto and has been involved with Agile Software Development since 1996, when as a member of Chrysler’s C3 project he helped develop Extreme Programming. In 2000, Ron Jeffries, Ann Anderson, and Chet wrote Extreme Programming Installed. It detailed XP’s core practices, how to do them, and how they work together to help teams be successful. Since 2002, Chet has been an independent consultant, coach, and trainer. In 2009, he was asked by the Scrum Alliance to help develop the Certified Scrum Developer program. Chet and Ron Jeffries taught the first CSD course and continue to offer them in the United States and Europe. He has been a Certified Scrum Trainer since 2009. Chet and Ron Jeffries often work together and are popular conference speakers, bringing an interesting mix of humor and deep knowledge, and the odd cat picture.
On a personal note, Chet and I (Anna Kepshire) have worked together for years. Chet has helped hundreds of people in our community gain their CSM and CSPOs. Our Agile community would not be this strong without Chet. It was his connections that made the Derby City Agile Conference a massive hit. I am very grateful I get to work with a true legend and bring about real change. This is agile!
