Jon Kern (@JonKernPA), a coauthor of the Agile Manifesto (http://agilemanifesto.org), is passionate about helping clients succeed in delivering business value through software. He works with (typically distributed) teams to articulate, design, architect, and deliver software that solve challenging business problems. From analysis to helping provide solutions, to mentoring teams, and all points in between, Jon routinely has significant impact on the projects he works on. Either working with the client’s team, and/or pulling together a team of experts from around the world-Jon creates a quick-hit ability to solve problems and deliver results. Projects routinely see high quality solutions in less time, and leave the local team mentored on object-oriented and agile techniques, and excited.
