Piet Syhler

With a solid background in project management, program management and people management, I have developed into a very skilled, appreciative and present lean agile leader and coach. I strive to balance my leading and coaching in all three layers of Shu-Ha-Ri and I believe in a straight pragmatic approach towards the various methodologies – mostly Scrum/XP, Kanban and Lean. I have experience with many different agile transitions – from single co-located teams to large programs with distributed teams and use of EDC’s - combining elements from SAFe, LeSS and other well established frameworks with home grown elements and situational problem solving. I work well with both the business side and the IT side, acknowledging the different needs and challenges that arises in the two areas - I see it as one of my main contributions to bring business and IT closer together. Additionally I consider self-organization, emphasis on craftsmanship and test-automation in combination with CI, as key elements in any agile journey.
