Trainings

My interactive and hands-on Professional Scrum and Kanban trainings help teams deliver better products with more value for their customers. I prefer working with people in person, which is why my public trainings are usually held on-site. Of course, I also offer in-house trainings - both on-site and online.

Public Training Dates

I regularly offer all trainings as public sessions you can sign up for, but only in German.

All trainings - and customized workshops - are also available as in-house events tailored to your team and held at your location.
