Johanna Hunt

Johanna (Joh) is a researcher from Brighton UK, currently working towards her doctorate in Informatics with a particular interest in programmer communication and collaboration, specifically what the details of social storytelling can tell us about reflective practice and process change.

She leads postgraduate classes in research methods, interdisciplinarity and group processes as well as acting as an agile coach and retrospective facilitator for a local company. Joh is co-chair of the Agile Alliance funded Agile Narratives Project and enjoys organising social events in her home town including regular coding dojos.

This will be her first time to a Retrospectives Gathering and she is eager to find out more.

I have an enduring passion for traditional storytelling, folklore and board games. I’ve recently developed a fondness for playing Werewolf (http://www.eblong.com/zarf/werewolf.html). In an ideal world I’d also be able to find the time to learn to speak Norwegian, something I have been failing to do for many years.

In case anyone wonders I took to calling myself Joh (pronounced Joe) as a child after getting frustrated at always having to point out there was a ‘h’ in my name. For some reason this silly affectation stuck.

I often dye my hair interesting shades of blue and green, which makes me slightly easier to spot in a crowd.
