Agile procedures in strategically important projects and effective corporate management – does that work together? – (German language)
Several prejudices exist about agile approaches. Some say e.g., the many Scrum meetings are time-consuming and inefficient. In Jens Gerhardt's experience, however, it is important that the intention of the various meetings is discussed in the team and that the team jointly determines a favoured duration and frequency of the meetings. In addition, the Scrum Master should ensure that these defined rules are adhered to. On the one hand, this prevents the meeting from being too time-consuming, and on the other hand, it ensures that the project is efficient. In the following blog, Jens Gerhardt addresses various prejudices about agile approaches and supports his views with his own experiences.

For a product developer, the Sprint Review is a very crucial event. But what is it actually? At the end of a sprint, the work that has been done is inspected together with invited stakeholders and, based on this, the next reasonable steps are decided. The Developers thus receive feedback from users of the product. This is very valuable because only the users of a product can determine if certain product features are useful. For this purpose, a Sprint Review can take place both in person and online.

What is a project manager?
Have you ever wondered what a project manager actually does? A project manager is responsible for planning, organizing, and directing projects. He also ensures that projects are completed on time, on budget and within the project scope. For this, a project manager must be able to work well under pressure and be comfortable with change in dynamic environments. To increase efficiency, it is useful to support the project by team management software. This gives the project manager instant insight into the workload, project, and status of the work of each team member.
