Phillip enjoys applying his experience with Lean principles and Agile practices to execute projects and programs. He has been fortunate to have been associated with multiple companies over his nearly 20 years in the IT world, two of which were career defining. The first was a small software company where he was able to practice XP before it was called that. The second was being part of a Lean Leadership program at a company where the business was driving out Lean for the office and he was brought in to lead an IT processes improvement initiative (having had many years of experience in both product shops and IT shops by this time). Phillip converged with the Lean effort, introduced a Lean approach to Agile and started something fun that had a lasting positive impact on the technology teams and business in the organization. Phillip liked that experience so much that in 2007 he became the Project services and Practices Director growing out a Lean/Agile practice at Velocity Partners. His current focus is on applying Agile practices with Velocity’s business customers utilizing distributed teams in South America and occasionally coaching teams on how to adopt and adapt Lean principles and Agile practices.
