JF (John Francis) Unson (He/Him)'s Linkedin Analytics

In a nutshell: I’m a data-driven Agile coach, with my forte in technical program management. 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 up 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 engineer who was looking to find a better way of working - and definitely found a solution that worked in Agile. Sinc then, I have continued to learn and evolve as 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 (developer, tester, technical architect, engineering manager, engineering director, program manager, and coach). 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.
