Embarking on a Scrum career unintentionally in 2006, Stefan was initiated as a Scrum Master for a small German startup. Lacking initial knowledge but employing careful observation, note-taking, and dialogue, the author embraced the role and learned from the team’s experiences.

Eighteen years into his Scrum journey, Stefan maintains an unwavering appetite for learning, humbled by the vast knowledge shared within the agile community. Recognizing newcomers’ overwhelming challenges in this field due to scarce formal education, he aspires to provide guidance, emphasizing a pragmatic, common-sense approach grounded in observing human interaction and collaboration.

Since 2019, Stefan has served as a Professional Scrum Trainer for Scrum.org.

Stefan also curates the weekly Food for Agile Thought newsletter on best posts on Agile, Scrum, and product management—with 49,000-plus subscribers the largest of its kind.
