Lennart Fridén
A proponent of mob programming ever since meeting Woody a few years ago, Lennart is a software craftsman and polyglot programmer hailing from Stockholm, Sweden. In 2015 he embarked in on a journeyman tour. During the voyage, he was increasingly asked to facilitate and participate in mob programming sessions with the many and diverse teams he visited.
He is especially keen on emphasizing knowledge sharing, and takes profound pleasure in using mob programming as a Trojan horse for kickstarting real teamwork.
