“Del's leadership was instrumental in bringing agile methodologies to our development team. While transitioning to scrum, I often consulted with Del about how to handle things in the scrum framework. Once our team was fully running on scrum, I felt that we were at least twice as productive as we had been in the past.”

Matt Willson - Pervasive Software

“As Delmar's manager for over a year, I was very impressed with the simplicity of his designs, the quality of his software, and the tenacity he brought to problem solving, especially customer issues. Delmar provided strong leadership for the developers who worked under his tutelage.”

Steve Mook - Pervasive Software and Simdesk

"Del is experienced,enthusiastic and tenacious - an excellent team lead with expertise in UI design and development and Scrum project management. He is willing to learn new technologies, challenge assumptions, take risks, and be accountable for results. His skill and leadership would benefit any team that seeks to improve its ability to deliver value to customers and to the business."

My Agile Experience

What was really exciting was to see the Scrum methodology adopted company wide at Simdesk. Because of the success of our team I was able to train and mentor other team leads, managers and corporate executives to use Scrum. This lead to increased productivity and better communication among the teams, support, product managers and upper management. Goals are well defined and consistently meet.

Working together as a team

By Delmar Hager

Every team members contributes. It is vital the the team cultivate ideas from every member. Each of us has a unique perspective that helps make the team succeed. Working together a community helps each of us to better understand our unique skills.

This entails that we are willing to learn from others on the team There is no place for a prima donna on a team. The member fresh out of college has knowledge that a 30 year veteran does not have. It takes humility to learn from the junior member.

Also we much be willing to teach each other. A person should be willing help others learn the skills they have acquired. Many times this will require patience when other team members do not learn easily.
