Innovation Games | 5 Questions For Luke Hohmann

I’ve been blessed over the course of my 12 years in Silicon Valley working for Netscape, AOL and Apple and consulting for countless software and Internet companies to have met many bright, creative and high-impact people.  Today I kick off a new blog series highlighting some of those people.  As Jim Barksdale, CEO of Netscape, would explain: “every great list has either 3 or 5 things on it.  If you got 4 on your list, you either got 1 too many or need to add 1 more.”  I’ve opted for 5 questions on my “list” and blog series!

Luke Hohmann is software product expert, author, coach, entrepreneur, innovator, teacher and friend.    He is the author of “Journey of the Software Professional: A Sociology of Software Development”, “Beyond Software Architecture: Creating and Sustaining Winning Solutions”, and “Innovation Games: Creating Breakthrough Products Through Collaborative Play”.  He is a former faculty member of the UC Berkeley and Santa Cruz (Extensions).  Luke is on the board of the Agile Alliance and is a member of the ACM, IEEE, and PDMA.  Luke is the Founder & CEO of Enthiosys, an Agile Product Management Consultancy.  I caught up with him recently to talk about his latest venture, Innovation Games Online.
