Phil Ledgerwood’s resumé looks like seven other people’s resumés stitched together. He has baked bagels, guarded Clint Black’s town home, cooked for a gourmet food shop, freed stuck college students from elevators, managed printing plates for packaging, and served as a linguist in the Air Force. He taught himself HTML when the Netscape browser was still a thing, and the rest is history.

Phil is a twenty-year veteran of the software development industry in the Kansas City area. If you’re in the Kansas City area, he is two degrees of separation away from any programmer you know and has probably worked for, at, or with your company.

When the agile movement hit town, Phil knew a good thing when he saw it and became an early adopter of first wave agile practices. He has used these practices to ideate, build, and complete software projects ranging from loan forecasting to routing irrigation trucks to managing pharmacies to predictive lead generation to selling teddy bears. When people ask what vertical his company serves, he says, “Yours.”

Phil has incorporated Lean methodologies into software development just like his father used to do in manufacturing. When he partnered with Travis Dietz to start Integrity Inspired Solutions in 2012, they laid the foundation in Lean to make the custom software development enterprise more humane, predictable, and focused on the success of everyone involved.

A regular speaker at developer, Lean, and Agile conferences, Phil has a passion for taking his company’s ways to other companies whether they create software or not. He loves to see them transform from a collection of interactions riddled with disappointments and broken promises to team-oriented relational companies enjoying newfound trust, joy, efficiency, and success. Several companies from all over the world in all different industries contract Phil to help coach them through their own journeys. He also hosts the successful "Agile Bites" podcast.

When he’s not helping project managers learn predictive metrics or helping developers write customer-focused features, he’s enjoying a wide array of highly geeky hobbies including fantasy and sci-fi novels, gaming, and teaching Filipino stick fighting. His main hobby is making the world a better place for everyone who has to share the planet with him, and the engine for that is love.

2020-2024 Microsoft MVP for Business Applications

After gaining 5 years of experience in creative roles such as Web Director, Video Director, and Sign Designer, I transitioned to a career as a System Engineer. For 15 years, I was a key member of system renovation and business improvement projects in the financial industry. Later, I co-founded own company where I was involved in proposing business improvements and education for various industries. Believing that the development of an internal community is the key to business improvement, I established BizOptimars,Inc. in November 2023, a company that boosts in-house production based on an internal community. I'm currently providing various supports aimed at the development of Japanese companies, mainly in the manufacturing industry in the Kansai region.

In external communities, I'm active as “Rinatamu”, and while enlightening the Microsoft Power Platform, I have made many presentations with the main theme of making business improvement fun. As a result, in February 2020, I received the Microsoft MVP in the Business Applications department from Microsoft headquarters in US. I'm still actively presenting and disseminating information, and I'm active in a free style that is not limited to Microsoft products.

Mi camino con Microsoft comenzó hace 7 años, cuando me convertí en capacitador y certificador para herramientas de Microsoft Office Specialist, amplie mis capacidades de generación de contenido, transmisión de ideas y un gusto por estarme actualizando y certificando constantemente.

Posterior a este trabajo, me convertí en consultor de tecnologías de la información, para brindarle a los clientes, soluciones que les fueran útiles a partir de sus necesidades y fue ahí cuando me especialice en el mundo de Microsoft Power Platform, primero como implementador de licenciamiento, lo cual me llevo a conocer las herramientas con otro enfoque y observar los detalles de las mismas, tiempo después fui migrando mi conocimiento a la parte técnica y me integre con un nuevo Partner de Microsoft.

Con esta nueva colaboración inicie un gran camino que al día de hoy representa la proyección de mi pasión laboral, Microsoft Power Platform como especialista y que me llevo a pisar terrenos más avanzados donde se requiere mayor capacidad de aprendizaje y dominio de los temas.
