The Navigators Compass
New waters need a navigator who's sailed them before. Backlog architecture with validated goals on every level, and lean-agile enablement. With AI on deck.
All offerings are available in German and English. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call.Let's chart your course first.
Lean-Agile Enablement
Two disciplines, one course.
Building with AI is fast and strong, but wind alone doesn't check the charts. Agile for the crew, lean for the machine.
Enablement means setting sail together. We look at how your crew works: ceremonies, overhead, decision points. We find where AI makes the compass sharper and where humans hold the wheel. Scrum, Kanban, Flight Levels or your own way: I adapt to the framework you already sail with, as long as it leaves room for transparency and continuous improvement.
-
Structure and tools only work if people can live them. The goal is a crew that is content: self-organized, transparent and in charge of its own course.
-
Crews already sailing agile, or new crews setting out for the first time. Both work. The starting point is different, the direction is the same.
-
Coaching on all levels: team, product owners, leadership. Workshops, facilitation and hands-on support in daily work, on-site or remote.
-
Less time preparing, more time sailing. A rhythm that compounds. Every voyage sharper than the last.
-
Daily rate starting at 980€. Typical engagement: 1 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of your waters and how far the next port is.
Backlog Architecture & Validation
The wind is here! Time to set the sails.
A backlog without validated goals is just a longer list. Structure shows where things belong. Validation shows whether they belong there at all. The monster isn't AI.
It's drift between what was meant and what got built.
Together we build a backlog hierarchy that connects strategy, portfolio and teams: from initiatives and capabilities down to epics and stories. On every level, goals get validated before work moves further down: complete, consistent, dependencies visible. AI agents carry the mechanical load: drafting, slicing, checking, forecasting. Built on the structured context they need to stay on course. Your crew keeps the final word.
-
Structure without validation only organizes the drift. Validation without structure has nothing to hold on to. Together they keep what was meant and what gets built on the same course, even when AI speeds everything up.
-
Crews with several teams on one product or platform, a backlog that grew faster than its structure, or many stakeholders shaping one product.
-
We chart your current waters first: levels, flows, and how requirements travel from idea to story. Then we design the hierarchy and its validation points together and bring agents on deck step by step, with hands-on training. In Jira or whatever your crew already sails with.
-
One backlog everyone can read, from leadership to team. Goals that hold up on every level. Agents that carry the mechanical load. And a crew that maintains and steers it on its own.
-
Daily rate starting at 980€. Scope and duration depend on your waters and how many tentacles your kraken has.
The Guided Compass
Your crew, your waters, AI on deck. Hands-on workshops rooted in agile and lean values.
All offerings are available in German and English. Every engagement starts with a free discovery call. Let's chart your course first.
New Watch
Every crew member's position on deck is changing. Navigator, helmsman, lookout: the roles have shifted. This workshop maps where each stands now, what stays human, and why throwing crew overboard without knowing what they held together sinks ships.
1–2 days · On-site or remote ·
Up to 12 crew members
Starting at 1.800€
Build Your Deck
Backlog, board, flow, structure. Alignment and transparency. The deck every crew needs, built for how voyages work now. No month-long charting exercises before the ship can move. A lean ship with AI where it counts, ready to sail from day one.
1–2 days · On-site or remote ·
Up to 6 crew members
Starting at 1.800€
Safe Harbor
A sheltered bay to try AI with your crew. Whether you're just starting to explore or already sailing and want to test new tools safely. Your crew works with their own scenarios, with clear boundaries. Together we find out what fits your waters. Not theory. Practice.
1–2 days · On-site or remote ·
Up to 12 crew members
Starting at 2.400€
What about data safety?
Every engagement starts with clear agreements. NDAs are standard, always. When AI tools are part of the work, we define together what data enters which system and what stays on your deck. No surprises, no crew data where it doesn't belong. Your waters, your rules.
