Alexia Bowers
(“Lex”) co-founded Ternary Software and spearheaded
much of the company’s process improvement efforts, including
Ternary’s initial adoption of Scrum and XP. As an Agile
Project Manager, Lex has guided numerous projects to successful
delivery, from Fortune-100 software systems to state-of-the-art
3D gaming software. Beyond applying agile practices, Lex helps
teams understand WHY the practices work; she teaches her team
members hands-on while managing to a successful delivery.
She holds Masters degrees in Software Engineering and in Cognitive
and Neural Psychology, and she is fluent in multiple models
of personality type, team dynamics, and organizational theory. |

“Lex
has always had an intuitive grasp of agile project management,
but on top of that, she’s just a great person to work
with. There are many wonderful adjectives that describe her
style: organized and adaptable, attentive yet driven, sensitive
yet unflappable, supportive yet goal-oriented. But the words
don't seem to capture the real essence of Lex's contributions
to an agile team -- there's just a certain contagious courage
that she brings, and everybody around her starts to think
‘Of course we can. There's always a way!’”
