Phil Zofrea, CSP, SPC and PMI-ACP, is an independent consultant who has been involved in software development since 1979 when he started out coding system utilities for HP computers. He then established his own consulting company which he worked at for 14 years with clients such as Chase Manhattan Bank, Shell Oil, Ford Foundation, etc. He was an early adopter of iterative development since 1997, when his consultancy was a partner with Rational and assisted other companies with Object Oriented Programming and the Rational Unified Process (RUP). From 2001 he has passionately driven IT and Agile transformations at The New York Times, Tech Data, Kforce, Nielsen and other companies. Guilds can go beyond just meeting on a regular basis and can also create websites, chats and social media channels. These mediums can be used to share knowledge and collaborate on certain challenges real-time and provide instant consultation with experts within your vertical area of practice. At my current organization we have several COPs, webinars and channels to discuss areas of interest. Some are more formal than others, but they all contribute to furthering the availability of cross-department knowledge.
