About Steven

ABOUT ME

Agile rituals are running, but real progress is lacking?
Team dynamics are blocking instead of supporting?

As an Agile Coach with over 20 years of practical experience in
diverse industries, I know the challenges from
practice. I get stalled agile processes back on track –
quickly deployable, systemically sound, with a clear exit strategy.

CORE COMPETENCIES

- Interim Assignments
Bridging personnel gaps (Scrum Master, Product Owner,
Agile Coach). Minimal onboarding time, maximum continuity.
Bridging recruiting phases, parental leave cover,
project peaks.

- Reactivating Agile Structures
From pseudo-agility to real collaboration. Zombie Scrum
interventions with sustainable impact.

- Startup Support
Combining and scaling agile structures with entrepreneurial spirit.
Growth without loss of culture.

- Team Starts & Teambuilding
Systematic team starts with clear structures: role clarification,
sustainable processes, binding rules. Teams operational from the first sprint.

- Individual Coaching
Systemic business coaching for professional orientation:
career decisions, difficult situations, role changes.

METHODOLOGY

People are always at the forefront of my work, ahead of processes. As a
systemic business coach, I help organizations resolve blockages
and establish effectiveness.

BACKGROUND

Many years of experience as Scrum Master, Product Owner, and
Project Manager in various industries. Certified
Systemic Business Coach.
