Agile Project Management
Scrum is one of several agile methodologies in the field of agile project management. The Scrum framework is lightweight and used in many companies. There are only three central roles (product owner, scrum master, scrum team). The basic idea is to split a big project into small tasks. Those will be processed by priority, in so called sprints.
In Scrum coachings our agile coaches will provide and teach you all the content and skills that makes you successful with scrum.
Besides Scrum our agile team also offers workshops with a focus on other domains of Agile Framework such as Kanban, SAFe, Nexus.

Product Design
A minimum viable product (MVP) is a development technique in which a new product or website is developed with sufficient features to satisfy early adopters. The final, complete set of features is only designed and developed after considering feedback from the product’s initial users.
This concept has been popularized by Eric Ries, a consultant and writer on startups.
What are the Benefits of Using an MVP process for design?
There are several key benefits of using an MVP process; these apply not just to the design team but also to the company at large and any investors (if they are present):
- You can test your understanding of whether the product is needed without having to use a huge amount of resources to develop the full product.
- You can accelerate the team’s learning regarding what the customer actually wants/needs whilst using rapid iteration to deliver that.
- You can minimize the number of wasted hours spent by your development team by focusing on a minimal number of features for launch.
- You can go to market faster and thus, theoretically, start to raise sales revenues faster than if you develop the fully featured final product for launch.
- You can gain a competitive advantage if other companies are contemplating entering the market you are focusing on.
