Arie van Bennekum (Hardinxveld-Giessendam, April 2nd, 1964) is one of the co-authors of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development,[1] the founding document popularized in 2001.
Van Bennekum is known for being an expert in the field of Agile Project Management and cross border Agile transformations.[2]
He implemented Agile methodology in small and large organizations.[3] Van Bennekum is credited with the idea that Agile has a place outside software development and is applicable everywhere in business or life.[4] Agile can proliferate beyond IT departments into others like human resources and marketing.[5]
Agile is a methodology for project development that require speed and flexibility. It's a philosophy that involves a different way of working and organizing. Until a few years ago, Agile was a framework specific to software development. However, as of 2016, Agile began to expand among a wide range of organizations.[6]
Education and IT Career
Van Bennekum studied Business Informatics (1988) at Hogeschool Rotterdam.[7] He holds a degree in Information Technology from Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (1989-1993) and also obtained a degree from DSDM International, Netherlands, in 1997.[8]
Van Bennekum started his career in IT as a software developer in 1987, in Rotterdam. After a while, he joined an IT-consultancy company, as a developer, later technical designer and project manager. In 1995, he landed in a Rapid Application Development (RAD) project, where he started as a developer and shortly after got into the role of project manager.[9]
During the last few years, van Bennekum worked on the Integrated Agile Transformation Model. This framework is based on an iterative-incremental process in which each iteration is called a "wave", and every wave is made up of different phases: Assessment & foundations, Synchronize, Follow, Lead and Hand over.[4]
Recognitions
In 2021, the Project Management Institute (PMI) awarded Van Bennekum the "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his great work spreading the agile mindset.[10]
In 2017, he was distinguished by Champagnat University (Mendoza, Argentina) with the academic recognition of Honorary Professor Emeritus (Res. No. 61/17).[11]
