About

Title: Product Owner

Sjerk Van Riel

After being graduated as 'Master Applied Economics' at the University of Antwerp, I worked from 1998 untill 2008 for a Belgian ICT company, 

I learned and experienced, with the teams I was part of, how to successfully implement tailored software projects.  Whether it was as developer, as analyst, or as project leader, my focus and interest has always been the involvement and participation of the customer and end-users !

Since 2008, I work as an independent consultant,  favoring agile principles and methodologies,  I have been taking part in several Scrum software projects as Product Owner or Scrum Master

Besides this, I occasionally organize agile workshops for businesses involved in tailored software projects.

End users have a big impact on the success or failure of software projects.  I want to coach them so that they know how to contribute to success, meaning getting the applications they want.
