Joost Cassee

My relationship with Joost Cassee has benefited me and my projects beyond expectation. The process that Joost advised on helped transform development teams to become more self-organizing, cross-functional and autonomous. Joost is a product thinker with an innovative and Agile mind-set. He has incredible knowledge and uses this in a respectful way to team members and other stakeholders.

Few people know both software development and infrastructures like Joost. He is a systems thinker, innovative, without losing sight of the end goal.

Joost is amongst the best I have met in my field so far. He knows how to drill down to the essence of things in a non-presumptuous and knowledgeable way, while leaving enough room for argumentation. He has an open mind, and is respectful to other opinions.

Joost is attentive to both people and technical details. He asks the right questions, finds fitting solutions and crafts the beautiful software you expected.

Joost has the ability to get into complex matter in a very short time frame and become a respected expert. He has the talent of quickly understanding the user’s needs in these matters. He can communicate about it in a very clear and understandable manner, and in addition has the ability to sparkle the stakeholders’ enthusiasm in the process.

Joost has introduced the word ‘business value’ into our software development process and delivered upon it.
