Early life and education[edit]
Born in Anaheim, California, U.S. in 1962, Mike Cohn received his master's degree in computer science from the University of Idaho in northern Idaho.[3] Having a research interest in Agile project management, he specializes in communicating needs and achieving Agile project goals through user stories.[4]
Career[edit]
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.[5]
Cohn is the founder of Mountain Goat Software, a process and project management consultancy and training firm.[6] He 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.[7] Cohn was a keynote speaker on ADAPTing to Agile for Continued Success at the Agile 2010 Presented by the Agile Alliance.[8] In 2012, Cohn was named #1 in The Top 20 Most Influential Agile People.[9]
Cohn is a proponent of stand-up meeting, particularly emphasizing actual standing during them.[10] 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.[11]
