PM Coaching
PM coaching and agile coaching for people in projects
Projects succeed through people. I support project managers, PM roles and whole teams so that methods become lived practice.
What I offer
Who I support
-
Project managers and PM roles
One-to-one coaching for project management, PMO and other roles: clarity in the role, confidence in difficult situations.
-
Whole project teams
Collaboration, role clarification and conflicts in the team, so that the project flows again.
-
Agile coaching
Introducing and developing agile ways of working with Scrum and SAFe, within a team and across teams.
-
Supporting change
Introducing new structures, processes or methods in such a way that people come along.
-
Putting learning into practice
After a training course, what has been learned does not stay in the seminar room but reaches the project.
Support takes the form of one-to-one coaching, team workshops or regular reflection on specific project situations. We match format and scope to your goals and your everyday project work.
