About Me

Roland Flemm, Organizational Design Consultant, Professional Scrum Trainer and Scrum Master.

I started in 1984 as a Cobol and Ideal/Datacom developer. In 2001 I moved to the support and maintenance field and worked with mostly IBM Application Server products. I worked as an IBM product support specialist (implementation and maintenance of WebSphere application server, portals, process server and infrastructure components).

In 2009 I switched to a new career in Scrum and Agile. I am now a proud member of the 350 globally certified Professional Scrum Trainers for scrum.org. I provide training throughout Europe. My main focus is Agile organization design coaching and I support agile adoptions in various industries. I love speaking at international conferences and publish articles regularly. The core of my approach is to put people first, learn by doing and innovate with common sense.

The field of Agile and Scrum is constantly evolving, and so am I. Since 2021 I am working with Alexey Krivitsky on a thinking tool that enables people to craft their own journey towards agility. We call this Organizational Topologies™.

Org Topologies ™ is a framework-agnostic approach for building agile ecosystems where business and technology work for a fast flow of ideas and value.

Why do people contact me?

People come to me to fix problems like these:

  • We added (Scrum) teams to speed up our software delivery, but now this is slowing us down.
  • We have difficulties keeping up with the speed at which competitors deliver new features.
  • We (the business) pay a fortune for IT, but the ROI is too low. IT is making a mess of things.
  • Our existing customer base does not appreciate the new features we bring them.
  • It is impossible for Product management to forecast product releases on a quarterly basis. 
  • Team members are unmotivated and do not take responsibility for their work.
  • The people are leaving the company, our knowledge is draining.
