Darren Aitcheson
United Kingdom
Darren is a Professional Kanban Trainer based near Belfast, Northern Ireland, although he is currently working as the Head of Product and Delivery for the London Borough of Hackney. Darren's Kanban journey started over ten years ago, when, as the manager of an infrastructure team, he accidentally discovered Kanban and found it revolutionised how the team operated, by removing the chaos that had been the hallmark of the team's previous process and improving the quality of their work. The team went from having multiple deployment issues every week to virtually zero issues! Since then, Darren has been through various Scrum Master, Agile Coach and Delivery Manager roles, in addition to doing both public and private Kanban training. Outside of work, Darren's main interests are his family, travel (kind of a necessity when the sea lies between you and your office!) and the Belfast Giants (ice) hockey team.
