About Arnd

As an Agile Coach, Scrum Master, and Kanban Coach, I guide teams and organizations in complex IT and product environments. My focus is on making collaboration more effective, clarifying priorities, making dependencies visible, and improving the flow of work.

I work with Scrum, Kanban, Flight Levels, systemic organizational development, and hypno-systemic coaching. My goal is not agile rituals for their own sake, but real impact: more clarity, better decisions, sustainable collaboration, and continuous development.

I support Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches, leaders, and stakeholders in developing suitable working methods and consciously evolving existing structures. My experience includes insurance, industry, IoT, software development, distributed teams, and corporate responsibility.

Typical focus areas:
- Agile Coaching and Scrum Mastery in IT organizations
- Kanban, flow optimization, WIP limits, and bottleneck management
- Scaling and cross-team collaboration
- Coaching and mentoring of Product Owners, Scrum Masters, and Agile Coaches
- Facilitation of retrospectives, workshops, open spaces, and hackathons
- Systemic coaching, conflict resolution, and organizational development
- Training on Scrum, Kanban, User Stories, estimation, and planning
