Dale E Simpson

Dale brings with him 2 decades of project delivery experience from a variety of areas such as commercial software engineering, professional services, mobile application development, telecommunications, finance (payments/billing), real-time transactions, non-profit, GIS (AM/FM) and information security. Dale, a Certified Scrum Master since 2008, has been involved with utilizing Agile techniques since first reading Extreme Programming Explained (Kent Beck) in 2007 and then on to Agile Software Development with Scrum (Schwaber/Beedle) after which there was no turning back. Although he is highly motivated by a deep interest in emerging technology, particularly in mobility, his passion truly lays in building high performing teams, which deliver maximum value through great software.

Currently, Dale is a Principal Consultant with The Quantus Group. As a coach and delivery specialist, he works with a number of SMB and Enterprise clients, within the Greater Toronto Area, to realize the untapped potential within their software delivery teams. His specialty is delivering strategic cannot-fail-projects which have been labeled as being “impossible” due to a set of perceived constraints.

In his spare time, Dale enjoys spending time with his family, keeping abreast with the latest thoughts in technology, business, and leadership by way of a virtual mountain of ebooks on his tablet, and being involved with the Toronto Agile Community. He is a volunteer member of the Agile Tour Toronto organizing committee (2011 & 2012).
