Initial situation: Global pricing system threatened to fail due to the complexity of its introduction. 70 employees, 26 countries, 6 brands. My contribution: Introduction of Scaled Scrum, team setup, simplification of decision-making paths.

Initial situation: Replacement of 25 IT systems with the central SAP landscape. The challenge lay in the complexity of the legacy IT, long release cycles, and close coordination between business departments and IT. My contribution: Introduction of Scaled Scrum, reorganization of test management, establishment of fast key-user feedback cycles, introduction of consistent agile requirements management. Result: Reduction of release times from 1.5 years to 0.5 years. Introduction of minor releases. Duration < 1 month. Reduction of bugs per release from approx. 800 to 20 per release. Elimination of the bug-fixing phase after each major release. Restructuring from a project to a product organization.
