Over seven years ago, I fell in love with Agile. Since then, I’ve been on a continuous learning journey, deepening my expertise in Scrum, Kanban, and XP. I’m also passionate about exploring ways to build high-performing teams, effective organisations, and exceptional products.

My background in media and e-commerce provided me with a solid foundation in project management and teamwork. It also sparked my curiosity for programming and data analytics.

Currently, I work as an Agile Coach in a startup, ensuring agility, predictability, and excellence across all teams, not just engineering.
I’m an avid knowledge sharer, giving talks at conferences, conducting workshops, and offering mentorship. I’m also a certified ProKanban trainer.

In my free time, I enjoy reading thrilling novels, mowing the lawn, and planning adventures.

Workshop—Stop Guessing, Start Predicting. Unleash the Power of Monte Carlo

Have you ever tried to predict when work will be done and felt like you were gambling? Well, worry no more! We invite you to our interactive workshop where we will take the guesswork out of your roadmaps and timelines.

We'll start by testing our luck with a roll of the dice. This will help us understand the concept of predictability. Then, as a reward for our efforts, we'll dive into our own casino!

Don’t worry, you won’t lose any real money here. Instead, you’ll learn about the fascinating world of Monte Carlo simulation. Despite the fancy name, it’s not that hard! This powerful tool will help your team make much more accurate predictions in no time.

Join us for this workshop and transform the way you think about estimation and timelines.

3 Biggest Takeaways
1. Change How You Think: Learn to go beyond fixed estimates and start thinking in probabilities
2. Monte Carlo Simulation Is Easy: Find out how to use Monte Carlo simulation to predict timelines and manage risk
3. Use Data to Manage Risk: Help your team be more efficient, effective and predicable

This workshop is perfect for anyone who wants to understand predictability, whether you're a manager, scrum master, product owner, or just someone who hates being wrong about timelines.

This workshop exemplifies the spirit of igniting products and culture by fostering a growth mindset around predictability. By equipping participants with Monte Carlo simulations, we empower them to embrace uncertain future and think in probabilities.
