Agile Coach at Avira GmbH
Tettnang, Baden Württemberg
Germany
www.avira.com
April 2012-March 2013

My role at Avira is acting as Scrum master/Agile Coach for 3-4 agile teams (20 people) with a focus on helping teams to deliver and adopting agile software development. The teams that I helped became the most reliable and productive teams within the whole organization. I achieved this by transforming a group of people into true teams. These teams became self-organizing entities that took ownership and learned how to solve the problems they were facing. One of the tools that helped the team to achieve this state was the use of value stream mapping. There were some other problems that I did help them to solve like bad communication between product owner and the team, very low visibility of progress on the work to be delivered and inability to make technical decisions on their own.
