Inspiring Blog: Chris Matts — ITRiskManager

I first met Chris Matts at the XP2010 conference in Trondheim. In 2011, he was one of the first awesome coaches of the week. Since then, we’ve met at multiple conferences and have shared a deep learning journey together. His blog is the first I’m featuring on my website, with the intention to grow this into an inspiring list of learning opportunities.

Chris has inspired me with

• Real Options
• Commitment
• Feature Injection
• Distributed Cognition
• Staff Liquidity (part one and part two)
• a discerning mind and a loving heart

And, Chris Matts is possibly the most funny human being I’ve ever met. Thank you!
