The concepts of change and evolution - or - who in the world is Martin?

My name is Martin Christensen. I call myself a usability designer and an agile coach. My goal is to make a significant difference in the world. This might seem a bit preposterous, but the concept of change is what I am most passionate about. Usability and agile methods have this in common; They are both great tools for quickly visualising what's important and what is not. Thus making them great for changing how people think and for the evolution of our IT systems.

My main focus is the user's experience of an IT system, and aiding me in creating a hassle-free and even enjoyable user experience are these paradigms:

Complementing this to improve quality I am proficient in:

By preparing for change as a usability designer I interview users and stakeholders, I do effect mapping, user analysis, field studies, ethnographic studies, contextual inquiries, focus groups, usage scenarios, use cases, storyboards, personas, brainstorming, card sorting, wireframes, prototyping, role-playing, usage models, blueprints, controlled vocabularies, navigation maps, usability measurement, qualitative & quantitative usability tests and more.

By preparing for change as an agile coach I assess the development process, use the correct methods in the actual context and communicate with my team mates (which is easy due to my background in computer engineering). I coach, teach, plan and adapt Scrum, Extreme Programming, Kanban and Lean Software Development.

By doing this, I will make a difference, in the right context, at the right time...
