Last month, I announced that I had started networking with other Scrum enthusiasts via the new business networking site, LinkedIn. Now, a short 30 days later, most of my friends and business associates have been assimilated as well.
Check out what I paid some of them to say about me there...
“When HL took leadership of Decade's .NET software development project (of which our product is an important component) there was new clarity, direction, and resulting progress. I personally appreciate HL's directness, commitment, and professionalism.” September 19, 2007

“HL has incredible personality. He likes working with people and for people. HL possesses a good mix of technical and artistic capabilities that help him to lead the team towards reaching the goal.

“Usually it is a rare opportunity to have a manager who is a good professional and gets a bright personality at the same time.
