Interview: Segundo Velasquez and Agile as Seen Through the Customer's Eyes

Bookmarks

In this interview taken over a week during the Agile 2007 conference, Deborah Hartmann of InfoQ interviewed Segundo Velasquez, co-founder of Mano a Mano Medical Resources (Bolivia), and president of Mano a Mano United States. Mano a Mano is a charitable organization which has developed many projects for the poverty stricken regions of rural Bolivia.  Segundo Velasquez came to the Agile 2007 conference to meet with an Agile team which promised him help to design and develop a web application meant to build a stronger relationship between Mano a Mano and its donors.

Segundo Velasquez spent a week at Agile 2007 and talks about his experience with the Agile team through the eyes of a computer non-professional. They all started with Segundo's desire to have a web application accessible to his organization's donors, which would create an affective link between the donors and the projects they are donating for. They went thorough several design iterations, coming up with various ideas on how to develop the application, even creating some tests. Segundo shares his amazement on how quickly the whole process evolved.
