Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

For 25 years, I have successfully completed numerous projects as a freelance consultant.

After many years as a software developer, architect, and requirements engineer / business analyst in classic IT projects, my focus has shifted to the area of agile value creation, so that for the last 10 years I have worked exclusively in agile projects in various roles as a developer, product owner, or Scrum Master / Agile Coach.

In recent years, my interest has focused on the "agile" challenges at the company or organizational level.

My expertise therefore extends to agile process models at the team level (Scrum & Kanban) as well as agile scaling frameworks and OKRs as a goal-setting framework.

Further focal points of my work are:

- Leadership / Team Development & Facilitation

- Business Agility & Strategy Development

I am a fan of:

- Flight Levels

- Liberating Structures

- System Thinking

- Complexity Theory & Thinking

- Cynefin

- Wardley Maps
