Episode 80 - Guest Interview - Writing Non-Fiction – Jonny Williams
In this episode, Pete and Laura head over to The Writer’s Room to chat with Jonny Williams about his new book - Delivery Management: Enabling Teams to Deliver Value.
Jonny Williams is an Agile Delivery Lead at Red Hat. Prior to this, he was Head of Delivery at Homes, England. He also provides coaching at DeliverValue.uk Having enabled teams to deliver value for over ten years, he now supports organisations to uncover effective modern approaches to work.
Jonny is an experienced community leader in the public sector, having coached and enabled teams and individuals to maximise their potential while working for the UK Government as a civil servant, and in the higher education sector.
His experience as a Delivery Manager enabled him to explore the disciplines of Agile Coaching and Scrum Mastery. This led to Jonny being one of less than one thousand people from around the world certified as Professional Scrum Master III in May 2021.

Our power package coaching session will help you answer tough questions and challenge the blocks that are stopping you from creating your best work.
Writing can feel lonely, sometimes a new perspective, a little space, encouragement, and some deep thinking can really make all the difference.
We’re taking a little break from our coaching right now. We’ll be back in late 2025. Please join the waiting list to be the first to hear when we are back up and running. Thanks for your support.
