The Navigators Compass

Not every voyage needs a custom map. Sometimes you need a proven route that's already been charted and tested in rough waters.

These two frameworks are ready to implement aboard your ship - tried, tested, and built to get your crew sailing smoothly and fast.
All Workshops and Frameworks are available in German and English.

Product Backlog Management & Kanban

Transform your Crew's workflow with clear priorities and transparent processes to fully enable a system of lean self-organization and clear commitment.

Conquer the Sea- no matter the Monsters lurking underneath.

  • When lack of transparency and lack of commitment rule the ship, everything and nothing is important. Implementing Kanban results in immediate smoother sailing. PBM creates a long lasting effect of smoother sailing.

  • PBM & Kanban have its origins in lean values, which goal is to reduce waste. May it be waste of resources, waste of time or waste of unused talents. It can be implemented on every Ship, every Sea, every Crew.

  • Starting with Workshops, the crew can be ready to set sail within 1 week— simply depends on the captain of the ship making the time for the Crew to learn about Kanban and PBM. Nontheless, every expedition needs its time of preparation.

  • AI as your first mate! When included, AI tools draft tickets and breakdowns at lightning speed - a fresh wind in your sails. But smart sailors verify their course. Learn to harness AI's power while your crew's knowledge steers true.

LIFE - Lean Initiative Framework for Enterprise

Scaled agility with lean values across your entire organization / departments with true self-organization at every level.

Bring your Fleet back to the Water- no matter the dependencies.

  • When multiple Ships are needed to reach the goal, coordination and organization with all dependencies can be a big challenge. LiFE offers a new approach to implement true self organization and implement new responsibilities on Deck. Find out what your Crew is really capable of rather than relying on old routes.

  • No matter how big or small the amount of Ships is in the Fleet, all of them can profit from the lean and agile scaled process for growth and stability within. If your Challenge is coordinating multiple Crews while facing high complexity in your Product, this Framework might be exactly what you are looking for.

  • Starting with multiple Workshops for basic trainings, once the knowledge has set in the Crew, the Wind can make the Ships go much faster once they reach open Waters within 1 month, starting with the most valuable cargo the Ship has to carry.

  • AI across the fleet! When managing multiple crews and departments, AI becomes your signal master - coordinating backlogs, aligning priorities, and keeping all ships on course. A fresh wind across your entire fleet. But experienced admirals know: verify the signals before the armada sails. Harness AI's coordination power while your teams' expertise commands the voyage.

What about AI?

Use AI as Your First Mate, Not Your Captain - The future of backlog management includes AI tools that can draft tickets, suggest break-downs, and speed up your workflow.
But here's the truth:

You can't verify what you don't understand.

AI is a powerful tool, but without knowing the fundamentals of Backlog hierarchies, acceptance criteria creation and refinement practices- you're sailing blind.

These workshops teach you to be the navigator who guides and validates the AI - not just a crew member who blindly follows its suggestions.
