First the foundation. Then the depth.
Teams that need to deliver under uncertainty require more than waterfall planning. Agile coaching helps – and with the right perspective, it becomes even more effective.
Agile Coaching
The proven foundationAgile coaches help teams work iteratively, learn faster and deliver better outcomes. Using proven methods and frameworks.
Proven practices that work in many teams – when applied correctly and tailored to the context.
Both perspectives flow into my work. What I use depends on what your context requires.

Am I the right fit?
Honesty saves time. Here's how to tell if we're a good match.
❌ I'm not the right fit if you …
I'm not a framework installer. If you need a certified Scrum trainer, I'm happy to recommend someone.
I don't bring blueprints. I work with you, not above you. If you're looking for consultants who deliver "the solution", I'm not the right choice.
I don't issue certifications. If you need an official Scrum, SAFe or Kanban certificate, there are specialised providers for that.
A single workshop rarely changes anything. Real change requires ongoing support. If you're just looking for a stimulus, sparring is the right format.
✅ I'm the right fit if you …
I observe collaboration patterns, name dysfunctions and help you find the right levers – not the obvious ones.
I support teams and organisations until the change sticks – and then make myself redundant.
For agile coaches, change leaders and executives who want to reflect on their own effectiveness.
I say what I see – even when it's uncomfortable. No flattery, no theatrics. Straight talk and respect.

Frequently asked questions
About coaching
Scrum, Kanban, OKR, Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Business Model Canvas and many more practices from the agile world. With Agile Coaching+, I also draw on thinking tools from systems theory and organisational development – Cynefin framework, Blue/Red model, complexity science. I choose what fits the situation – not what happens to be in vogue.
Agile Coaching introduces proven agile methods – Scrum, Kanban, OKR, retrospectives – and helps your team make them work in practice. Agile Coaching+ builds on this and broadens the perspective: systemic analysis, organisational dynamics, complexity navigation. For teams and organisations where frameworks alone are no longer sufficient.
I spent 5 years as Lead Trainer at Brainbirds – one of Germany's leading agile training providers – where I trained agile coaches myself. This means I bring not only coaching experience but also expertise in how to transfer agile knowledge effectively. On top of that, I am framework-agnostic: I look at the system and your context, not the Scrum Guide.
Yes. During my time at Brainbirds and since, I have trained and mentored numerous agile coaches and scrum masters. Through the sparring format, I continue to work with coaches who want to deepen their approach or expand it with systemic perspectives.
Yes. Not every team needs Scrum or Kanban. Sometimes what's needed is better communication, clearer roles or a different collaborative culture. I help teams work together more effectively – regardless of whether they call it agile or not.
About the process
30 minutes, free of charge, no obligation. You describe your situation, I ask follow-up questions. By the end, you'll know whether and how I can help – and I'll be upfront if someone else is a better fit.
Both. For Agile Coaching, I recommend starting on-site at a minimum – team dynamics are hard to observe via Zoom. Sparring works excellently over video. Agile Coaching+ is typically hybrid: intensive phases on-site, reflection cycles remotely.
That depends on the format. Agile Coaching and Agile Coaching+ are agreed as packages. Sparring sessions are booked individually. We'll discuss specific figures in our initial call – I'll give you a realistic range upfront.
Over 100 companies – from DAX-listed corporations such as Continental, EnBW and SIGNAL IDUNA to mid-market companies like WAGO and Refratechnik, as well as startups and intrapreneurship teams (e.g. Audi Denkwerkstatt). Plus 5 years as Lead Trainer at Brainbirds with over 500 coaching days.
