Arjan Brands is involved in projects,\nworkshops and trainings around the world, and feels at home in three different\nlanguages: German, English and Dutch. Arjan combines more than 22 years of\nproject experience in the areas of testing, agile methods (Scrum, Kanban),\nquality management, project leadership and management, IT and test process\nassessments (TPI, SPICE, CMMI), requirements design and management. Arjan has developed\nseveral training courses focusing on requirements management, testing and agile\nmethods, and, as an experienced assessor and mentor, is a much sought-after\nworkshop coach and team coach.<\/p>\n\n

From the automotive industry, energy,\ne-commerce, banking and insurance, through to pharmaceutical companies, public\nsector, publishing companies, telecommunications and heavy industry, Arjan has\na broad range of industry experience which he passes on through his trainings.\nCoupled with one or more anecdotes from his professional experience, which\nsometimes includes how to do things better, Arjan finds it important to impart\nknowledge in an informal atmosphere. After all, who enjoys swatting up on\nthoughtless, dry classroom material? Another thing that Arjan values in his\ntraining courses is meeting people with different experiences and cultural\nbackgrounds: it is only through difference that a unique dynamic can develop.<\/p>\n\n

Arjan has little time in which to pursue\nhis great passion of water polo. Yet the interaction and a good deal of the\nconfrontation found in this sport is also present in his training courses: in\nhonest discussion regarding the specialist area being focused on. Arjan views\ntraining courses as a fundamental component in improving the professionalism of\ntesting and imbuing the art of testing with the status it deserves within the\nfield of IT.<\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
