About Sebastian

I help teams get stuck digital projects back on track.

Typical situations where I get involved:

Requirements are unclear or constantly changing
Business and development are not working together
Backlogs have grown but are no longer meaningfully prioritized
Projects are not delivering tangible results

In such cases, I quickly bring structure, create clarity about goals, and ensure that teams get back to implementation.

My focus:

- Structuring and prioritizing backlogs
- Clarifying target images and requirements
- Improving alignment between business and development
- Identifying and resolving blockers

I work pragmatically and without unnecessary complexity – with the goal of delivering visible results in a short time.

Also possible on a small scale (e.g., 2-4 hours of analysis or sparring).

    I provide technical leadership for teams and help get stuck digital projects back on track.

    I work as a Product Owner on digital platform solutions in the context of complex business requirements and many stakeholders involved.

    A key focus of my work is to bring structure to projects where requirements are unclear or where business and development are not working together.

    I am responsible for:

    - Clarification of target images and requirements

    In practice, it often involves organizing established structures, setting clear priorities, and getting teams back to implementation.

    The goal is always to quickly create clarity and get teams back to implementation.
