Ever noticed how projects stall… even when everyone’s “busy”?
That’s invisible work — the silent velocity killer.
Teams wait → pick up new tasks → nothing completes.

The cure?
Focus on finishing before starting.
Normalize slack time.

This is just one insight from my Velocity Refactoring Playbook.

AI and Agile:

Great newsletter from Stefan/age-of-products:

"For agile practitioners, the choice isn't between humans or AI but between being AI-augmented or falling behind those who are. The cost of experimentation is low; the potential career advantage, on the other hand, is substantial. A reason to embrace generative AI in Agile?"

"Introduction: The AI Dilemma in the Agile Community
Interestingly, Agile practitioners..."

* Scrum Master Seeking Remote Opportunity *

Hi, I’m based in Vienna and looking for a remote Scrum Master role! With a background in psychology, English, and philosophy/ethics, I bring a people-centered approach to agility—plus a good dose of humor to keep retrospectives from turning into existential crises. As a systemically solution-oriented coach, I help teams embrace change, collaborate effectively, and stay focused while navigating complexity with clarity.

Certifications: IPMA Level D, PSM I, PSM II, PSPO I, Kanban, CARS, SAFe

Let’s connect!

When we’re agile, we adjust the scope as we inspect & adapt and create transparency to meet the timeline and budget as we get wiser (or, we adjust one of the others if scope may not be changed).

In any case, we don’t live in an illusion of not changing anything in the Iron Triangle, but we always build-in quality.
