All
the 20+ years he has worked in software product development projects and
companies have taught him how to build better software while working with
world-class team members.
His
real software product development experience started when he worked with the
company, Datex Ohmeda (now known as GE Datex Ohmeda). He had spent seven months
in Finland working with world-class software architects. He had worked for 3+
years with this product to build a
system for monitoring the patient’s vital sign under critical condition. He has
acquired awesome learning experience on Software architecture and real-time system
development.
His
next splendid experience accumulated from the Honeywell Aerospace system, where
he had served as a software developer with Honeywell world-class aviation
software team. He had delivered products for cockpit systems to many companies
including Airbus and Boeing. He had worked seven months in Seattle, Redmond, at
Honeywell office. He had worked with many aerospace system engineers and great software
architects for this mission-critical product development. He has flown with
Honeywell plane for flight testing at the Seattle Honeywell facility. It was a Great
experience for him! He had worked for 3+ years for this product.
He also worked for Honeywell Building Solution to build next generation Home building solutions.
His
next world class exposure was in the ABB Power automation division with the Sweden-based
team. He also visited Sweden, Vasteras office and worked with the team members
who had built this system many years back. An outstanding team, they had an
excellent robust product built over a period. This product development
experience provided him with extensive knowledge of Distributed Agile software product
development in a mission-critical situation. He had worked 3+ years for this
product. This Product was completely build by using Scrum framework. Started in 2009. Chandan was the Scrum of Scrum Master. The experience of this product development has been captured by Chanand and published a paper in 2012 in PMI Bangalore.
He
has many tales about these product developments. These 3 products where he involved
in hands-on development changed his life.
Other
than these projects, he had many engagements as Manager which had a different
exposure about building a better team for software product development. He has
worked with Honeywell HVAC system, worked with ABB Industrial Automation control
system products , Societe Generale (SG) banking system products and Oil , Gas
products in Shell, Consumer Electronics & Mobile Products in Samsung and Retail e-commerce at H&M .
He
made a coach by accident! During his assignment as a global program manager for
one of the Industrial Automation project, Head of Global Product Management
from Finland, shared with his manager that Chandan should be their agile coach!
This was in January 2012 when his journey as an agile coach begins. He was born
to be an agile coach. And he is enjoying the role.
