Season Tanner

State Farm
Product Manager and Executive Agile Coach
Bloomington/Normal, Illinois Area

I love to discuss and share experiences with Agile, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, and Product Management. I am a practitioner who has been starting up, coaching, and working on large scale Agile efforts of many sizes and many different types of work—from State Farm’s Auto Quote & Purchase app to data movement—for more than 13 years. I've authored a popular presentation called "The Seven Deadly Sins of Agile Leadership" that I would like to publish as a book, am a published author of short stories and poetry, and a US Patent holder. At present, I am a Product Manager for State Farm’s largest Continuous Delivery/DevOps Dojo, as well as an Executive Agile Coach within Enterprise Technology at State Farm.
