EmmanuelGaillot is a software consultant and an experienced designer for theatre and dance. He has adapted ExtremeProgramming practices and principles to the theatrical production process, and he currently works on instilling theatre practices back into the field of software making. Emmanuel's areas of expertise and interests include self-organizing teams, software making and agility. He works for Octo Technology as a coach and facilitator for software teams in Paris, France, where he helps various organizations to be more effective at, proud of and happy about producing software.
Emmanuel grounds his work in performance theory, ritual-making and post-structuralist analysis – which sounds only half the fun it actually is – using his theatrical background in techniques such as performative coding, retrospectives, team alignement or cultural subversion. He's been strongly influenced by the works of JerryWeinberg and VirginiaSatir.
