In 2016 he published a book about hosting and facilitating a coderetreat, a one-day deliberate practice concept for programming https://leanpub.com/coderetreat.

Adrian's subject of presentation will be "Short Guide to your Agile Transformation":

"You will gain a deeper knowledge of the transition process so that you can either do it yourself or hire and manage agile coaches in an effective, productive manner.
During this presentation you will find the short version of your questions like:
Why transition to agile? How to use Values for an agile transition? How to create a fluent transition? When to train, coach or manage?
How to manage more transparency? When to stop the transition?

So come prepared with your situations and questions so that we can have a productive Open Space after the talk."

Companies which benefited from his coaching services were of various sizes, from start-ups to multinationals, with diverse background such as public transport, rail, IT (infrastructure and software development) and banking.
