About
Stefan Wolpers’ Bio
I have been working daily with agile methodologies such as Scrum, XP, Kanban or Lean Startup for the last twelve years, onsite with my clients as well as in near- and offsite development scenarios. I am well familiar with required PM tools such as JIRA, and PivotalTracker.
My Experience as a Scrum Master
As a Scrum Master/Agile Coach, I am training organizations in adapting agility in product discovery as well as product delivery. I am both comfortable with transitioning existing IT organizations to Scrum as well as educating stakeholders of the product organization on how to build products customers love.
My Experience as a Product Owner
As a Product Owner, I am used to work with my own team of engineers, QA engineers and UX/UI designers, delivering outstanding solutions from end-to-end of the product creation process, covering all steps from product discovery to product delivery. (Including artifacts such as portfolios, product roadmaps.)
As a Head of Product, I am familiar with growing and coaching a team of Product Owners in agile methodologies, covering frameworks such as Lean UX, Lean Startup, User Story Mapping, or Jobs to Be Done.I also wrote my first book on agile best practices: Lean User Testing: A Pragmatic Step-by-Step Guide to User Tests (Hands-on Agile Book 1)
Blog, Newsletter & Slack Channel
I am writing extensively about my learnings on my blog Age of Product. I have published four large ebooks on various agile topics for free: Interview questions for Scrum Masters and Product Owner, Scrum Anti-Patterns, and Agile Transition—A Guide from the Trenches. I am also curating a weekly news — Food for Agile Thought — with more than 10,000 subscribers. Finally, I am the initiator and administrator of the largest Slack channel for agile practitioners with more than 1,300 members.
Lastly, I am the organizer of the Hands-on Agile meetup in Berlin.
