About S\u00f8ren<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I Help organizations achieve Better Value, Sooner, Safer & Happier<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agile consultant, Coach, Trainer and working Scrum Master\/ Product Owner with a flair for 360\u00b0 thinking and putting the customer in focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main goal is to deliver value to the customer, and I believe the best way to do this is through an agile way of working. I acknowledge that a team or organization must co-exist with many stakeholders, and it is therefore my responsibility to use the tools I have and tailor the process to best suite the customers needs. My toolbox consists of a mix of expertise in agile frameworks, a mindset coupled with expertise in change management and a pragmatic approach to problem solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional competences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I first encountered agile about 15 years  ago, where scrum was used within a project program, to facilitate ever changing requirements. Since then, I have used agile principles and frameworks to get the most out of the projects he has been involved in, simply because it made more sense. A good example of this is working diligently with MVP and focus on delivering business value as early as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I combine a solid theoretical and practical understanding of Agile, Scrum and KanBan with hands-on experience as scrum master, delivery- and project manager. Furthermore, I have IT management experience from being a part of a department management team as a Project Manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I typically works in roles of Agile Team Coach, Organizational coach and Agile Trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
