Stefan Roock:

Since 1999, Stefan Roock has been an influential figure in the dissemination and evolution of innovative working and organizational approaches within Germany. He was an early adopter and champion of agile methodologies, including Scrum, Kanban, and even less mainstream approaches like Feature-Driven Development (FDD).

He has served as a trusted coach and consultant for large-scale transformations involving hundreds to thousands of people, including prominent engagements at mobile.de and Deutsche Telekom.

Stefan is a highly sought-after speaker, regularly sharing his insights at conferences, user groups, and within companies. His intellectual contributions are also evident in his extensive publishing record, which includes numerous books and articles. Among his significant works are "Innovative agile Teamkonzepte," "Agile Leadership," "Scrum - verstehen und erfolgreich einsetzen," "Agile Unternehmen," and "Agile Verträge," all of which underscore his profound influence on agile thought leadership.
