Mike Cohn, 2013

Cohn began his career in the early 1980s as a Programmer in APL and BASIC before moving on to C++ and Java and running development groups.[3]

Cohn is the author of Agile Estimating and Planning, User Stories Applied for Agile Software Development and Succeeding with Agile: Software Development using Scrum, as well as books on Java and C++ programming.[4] Cohn was a keynote speaker on ADAPTing to Agile for Continued Success at the Agile 2010 Presented by the Agile Alliance.[5] In 2012, Cohn was named #1 in The Top 20 Most Influential Agile People.[6]

Cohn is a proponent of stand-up meeting, particularly emphasizing actual standing during them.[7] Teams are encouraged to come up with their own rules for improving these meetings, for example fining people who are late to them. A 2011 survey of tech employees from around the world found that 78% held daily stand-up-meetings.[8]
