About Me

My name is Peter Götz. For more than 20 years, I’ve been working with and within teams in agile product development across various domains.

As a software developer and trained systemic coach, I focus on both the technological and the human/social side of product development. That’s why I support teams and organizations not only in improving their processes, but also in optimizing their underlying technology and architecture.
