I am committed to agile project and product management and offer my consulting and training services through Incrementor. For more than 15 years, I have been focusing on agile project management, leadership, organizational transformation and agile development. For example, I led one of the largest Scrum adoption programs seen in the agile industry at AOL. The transformation included up to 100 agile project teams and affected the daily life of more than 3,000 employees. As a coach, trainer and practitioner, I work as a Scrum Master, Product Owner or guide entire project teams through a successful transition. During my career, I have taught more than 2,000 professionals in Scrum, Object-Orientation, Requirements Management (User Stories or Use Cases), Smalltalk and Java.
I have gained experience in several industries including manufacturing, finance, retail and media. Major stepping stones were Mercedes-Benz, ParcPlace, Valtech, IBM and AOL. I earned my Masters of Computer Science (MSc) from the Open University with a focus on Computing for Commerce and Industry.
I wrote two books, Agile Portfolio Management (Microsoft Press 2008) and the Rational Unified Process – Reference and Certification Guide (Pearson 2007) and many articles released in different industry magazines. I founded the New York City chapter of the APLN (Agile Project Leadership Network) in 2006 and spearheaded the steering team until June 2009. When time permits, I speak occasionally at conferences and companies.
My style is probably best described by using feedback from some of my past students and clients:
"Best Scrum training I've had".
"Very hands-on, great instructor".
"I am pumped-up!".
"Energetic, entertaining, gets people involved".
"Great presentation skills, kept everyone involved and had great real life examples".
"He was excellent. Very knowledgeable, high energy, responds well to all questions".
"I really enjoyed Jochen's teaching style".
"He made it easy and entertaining".
"Very knowledgable. Maintained an atmosphere conducive to participation".
"He kept it real. We used simple examples people could relate to. He was funny and entertaining".
"Very knowledgable, flexible, patient and approachable".
"Joe not only understands the course content but he also knew how it applies to the real world. Joe did an excellent job explaining the concepts and mentoring us on how to apply them. Joe also connected well with the students".
"Hands-on - like that. Joe rules. Keep rockin'. Thx".
"Most interactive training I had ever attended. Trainer is always available and very knowledgable"
"He teaches to the point, precise, very confident".

16-bit Intel 8088 chip
with an Apple Macintosh
you can't run Radio Shack programs
in its disk drive.
nor can a Commodore 64
drive read a file
you have created on an
IBM Personal Computer.
both Kaypro and Osborne computers use
the CP/M operating system
but can't read each other's
handwriting
for they format (write on) disks in different
ways.
the Tandy 2000 runs MS-DOS but
can't use most programs produced for
the IBM Personal Computer
unless certain
bits and bytes are
altered
but the wind still blows over
Savannah

the turkey buzzard struts and
flounces before his
hens.
