In a nutshell:I’m a data-driven Technical Program Manager and Agile coach. I have hands-on experience in software engineering (from developer all the way to director), product management, and overall organizational dynamics.My experiences allow me to gather look and gather all sorts of data - from every part of your organization (including HR and Finance). With all this data, I’ll tell you all about your organization - its current state and issues - and how to get it to the next level of business agility.I’m a lifelong Agilist, playing around with various Agile and Lean methodologies and practices since the time I started hearing about them on Netnews in the mid-1990s (the internet before everyone knew it). Back then, I was a burnt-out software engineer who was looking to find a better way of working. I experimented on the fringes and found a solution that worked, and it became Agile. Since then, I have continued to learn and evolve as a leader and mentor as the Agile, Lean, and Design practices and thinking have evolved.I have hands-on experience working in, leading, and delivering projects using all kinds of methods in various roles. I have managed, mentored, and coached people and teams. I have transformed teams, departments, and organizations, having been a full-time internal coach and trainer for some of Silicon Valley’s marquee companies.I love to talk about not just delivering the right product for your customers but also building the right organization for your business.One last thing about me: I go by JF, which is my nickname. My first name is John Francis (yes, 2 words). It's not John.
