Derek W. Wade is a Partner and Senior Consultant at 3Back LLC, a CSM (Certified ScrumMaster), and Agile team coach. He has over 13 years experience across all roles of the software lifecycle in several industries including Aerospace, Distribution, Internet Commerce, and most recently Digital Mapping. One of Derek's distinctions is his focus on bridging gaps between developers and business users, and his current focus is the "hard problems" of the psycho-social aspects of team product development in corporate cultures. He has led discussions on software testing and transitioning to Agile, and is currently focused on tools and behaviors which improve agile development for non-collocated teams.
