Stefan Olli

Stefan Olli has always been the analyzing type. Always thinking, wanting to know how things works and should work optimally. His university studies in Artifical Intelligence combined with Information Technology made him even more strong in the way of working.

Stefan's IT systems career started with a big ERP implementation project for a steel manufacturing company. Already then he noticed the need and interest in always discussing detailed functionality to be with the end users and business people. After several post projects adding value by integrating and automating routines of also other than ERP systems Stefan moved to a consulting company with own software products for manufacturing industry.

Before even knowing Scrum, Stefan wanted to work putting effort on maximizing value over following plans and bureaucracy of IT system development. Getting his teams as productive as possible without loosing quality by automatic nightly deployments and tests coverage of up to 90% was a must !

Getting a first educational talk on Scrum he realized having actually been working within parts of the framework without knowing it. He continued adopting more and more of the Scrum principles into the products I was responsible for.

Stefan started as a Scrum Master in a development program, where is still today as a consulting BA and coaching for the Product Owner and Scrum team in the customer organization. He has also been responsible as Product Owner for several software products for the manufacturing industry.

Taking the Scrum Product Owner Certification and participating in Scrum Events learned him more techniques and hints tried out successfully increasing velocity of the teams without loosing quality. The Cerified Scrum Professional -Product Owner (CSP-PO) examination was first achieved after four years of intensive daily Scrum work experience and renewed twice by continously participating in knowledge learning and exchange of experience events with other CSPs and Scrum trainers.

Stefan's very special business area for IT systems is the sales and supply chains of big companies delivering customer specific built solutions where much information should be refined and automated using mappings without adding system maintenance amounts.
