Barbara Roberts

Barbara helped create DSDM, the first of the Agile approaches, in 1995 and has been actively engaged in “corporate Agile” ever since, working in all business sectors, both in the UK, Europe and Australia. Creation of AgilePM -the world's leading qualification in Agile Project Management - was Barbara’s idea originally, in response to a request to create an approach for Agile projects.

As a certified Agile Business Consultant, Barbara has run and supported Agile transformations in all business sectors. As a Director at the Agile Business Consortium, she has been involved in the creation of many of their products: she initiated the creation of AgilePM, co-authored Estimating for Agile, and most recently led the team creating Agile Portfolio Management.
