Kevin Taylor | Groupon

I believe in rapidly delivering the right software using Agile practices.

I love building great software teams and software developers by emphasizing learning, intentional practice, and community support.

As a practitioner, trainer, and coach in the areas of Agile Project Management and Extreme Programming, I am passionate about helping both managers and developers navigate through the often murky waters of software development to achieve on-budget, high-quality software.

I am passionate about entrepreneurship and free market capitalism. To that end, I am an angel investor, mentor, and teacher for early stage technology start-ups. I enjoy sitting on the boards of technology startups and judging and mentoring at entrepreneurial events, such as business plan competitions and startup weekends.
