The agile mindset has gone from a radical concept to a contract requirement for many large technology companies, but different types of companies can call for different approaches. In his new book, Metagility, former engineer turned agile consultant David Bishop outlines his technique for businesses integrating software, firmware, and hardware to partner with their customers around value and quality. In this Hack the Process interview David will tell us how he used education and networking to transition from full-time employee to solopreneur, why his original business model shifted to meet the demand for agile consulting, and what his experiences investing in incubators taught him about developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
