From SPA Wiki

Tamara Petroff is Head of Operations at Kizoom. In this capacity, she leads an XP development team of 30 people, and strives to extend agile principles to other aspects of the organisation. Prior to Kizoom, Tamara has managed IT projects and departments at ING, Tallan, and Northrop Grumman. She has always rebelled against heavyweight processes, and since 1995 has been using techniques such as RAD/JAD and spiral development.

Tamara was once told by an irritated advocate of CMM, "You don't use any processes, you just have smart people and get lucky." She thought this sounded like a good idea, and has been working on getting better at generating that type of luck ever since.

Tamara holds an MA in Mathematics from UCLA.
