Ganz im Sinne von Scrum strebe eine kontinuierliche Verbesserung an, um den Erfolg des Scrum-Teams zu gewährleisten. Gleichzeitig habe ich dafür gesorgt, dass die Design-Apps Vector und Dabble auf dem richtigen Weg sind und wir Sprints pünktlich und mit guter Qualität veröffentlichen. Durch Anwendung der "Servant Leadership”-Philosophie, habe ich:
- mich um ein globales Team aus fünf Ländern gekümmert,
- einen zweiwöchigen Sprint-Zyklus mit regelmäßigen Releases eingeführt,
- zusammen mit dem Team die Erkenntnisse aus regelmäßigen Retrospektiven in die nächsten Sprints eingebracht,
- dafür gesorgt, dass wir uns auf effiziente Schätzungen mit relativen Größen konzentrierten,
- sichergestellt, dass kritische Fehler sofort behoben wurden und nicht die Qualität der
nächsten Sprints beeinträchtigen, - regelmäßige 1:1-Gespräche mit allen Teammitgliedern gehabt, um ihr Wohlbefinden zu gewährleisten und sie in ihrer Entwicklung zu unterstützen,
- die Product Owner gecoacht, um ein effizientes Backlog sicherzustellen,
- vor allem dafür gesorgt, dass das Team in einem nachhaltigen Tempo arbeitet und vor
Hindernissen geschützt ist – denn für mich steht immer der Mensch im Mittelpunkt!

Senior Program Manager and Scrum Master for Corel Vector and Dabble (English)
Corel Corporation
(Internet and Information Technology, 50-250 employees)
After some restructuring in 08/2021 I was offered these positions. I always attain the highest goals of advancing processes, striving for continuous improvement, and guaranteeing the Scrum team’s success. At the same time, I ensure that the newly introduced products Vector and
Dabble are on track, and we release iterations in time and with good quality. Continuing to apply
the servant leadership philosophy and Agile principles, I:
- initiated a three-week iteration cycle (now two-weeks) with regular releases – we never missed a date,
- lead, organize, and debrief the Agile events Iteration Review Meeting, Retrospective, and Grooming,
- ensure that learnings from these events were implemented in upcoming iterations,
- have regular 1:1s with all team members to ensure their well-being and helping them grow,
- ensure and work together with the POs that the items in the backlog have the right order and granularity,
- most all of ensure that the team can work in a sustainable pace and is protected from impediments.
