Scrum Master, Agile Coach
Name on request
Due to founding another company during COVID, the managing director stepped back from day-to-day operations, which left the team without leadership for around 3 years.
My task was to train a new Product Owner, shape the developers and the Product Owner into a cohesive team, and coach this newly formed team into a state where self-organized value delivery for the customer would be possible again.
Because of the political situation in the US, the main customer of my client saw a drop in revenue, which made a change in the business model necessary for my client. I was allowed to support the transition from a service provider to an AI-first company with a broad customer base in a strategic advisory role, hire staff, and facilitate several C-level negotiations between my client and its new customers.
TASKS
- Training team and management in Scrum and agile ways of working
- Coaching a junior Product Owner up to PSPO II level
- Mediating conflicts in change processes
- C-level consulting and negotiation facilitation
- Developing and evaluating business models
- Leading the hiring process for 4 new employees
ACHIEVEMENTS
- Successfully coached Product Owner to PSPO II level
- Formed a cohesive Scrum team from a team without leadership
- Restored self-organized value delivery for the customer
- Successfully transitioned to AI-native development (Claude)
- Successfully changed the customer's business model
TOOLS & METHODS
- Team building
- NVC according to Rosenberg
- Conflict management

Scrum Master
Athlon Germany, Mercedes-Benz
Two years before the project started, the customer introduced agile ways of working in its DevOps department with limited success. As part of my assignment, I drove the transition to a working agile operating model (Agile@Athlon), which moves away from supposed dogmas and fits the needs of a highly regulated environment (BaFin) and legacy systems that are several decades old.
TASKS
- Analysis of target processes within Agile@Athlon together with stakeholders from business units, management, and DevOps teams
- Introduction of lean-agile principles at team and value stream level, such as WIP limits, flow visualization, and useful metrics
- Consulting team leads on the use of agile tools for developing a business intelligence solution based on PowerBI
- Operational work as Scrum Master in three teams
ACHIEVEMENTS
- Designed and introduced the Agile@Athlon working model for 90 people
- Anchored lean-agile principles in a BaFin-regulated environment
- Supported three teams in parallel as Scrum Master
TOOLS & METHODS

Agile Consultant
Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg AöR (public tender)
Wirtschaftsbetriebe Duisburg (WBD) is transitioning its IT department to agile ways of working. As part of this effort, a pilot project was started to identify the barriers to agile work in WBD's semi-public authority-like environment.
The geoinformation system applications used so far are to be expanded with an offline mode in addition to the option of purely online operation with primarily server-side information processing. To achieve this, extensions to infrastructure, application, GIS data, and workflows within the organization must be implemented and examined iteratively.
TASKS
- Training in the basics of agile work within the team
- Collaboration in the "Agile Compass", the WBD-wide transformation unit
- Ongoing Scrum Master tasks in the team
- Communication with stakeholders to support value-adding cooperation

- Successfully set up an agile pilot project in the public sector
- Helped shape the WBD-wide transformation unit "Agile Compass"
