Though much progress has been made, we need to keep pushing forward in our agile evolution, both in the practical application of agile and scrum concepts in our way of working, but also in the agile mindset of our leadership and squads. We are looking for an experienced agile coach to accompany us on this challenge, help coach (senior) management, product owners, scrum masters, and other relevant profiles, identify opportunities for further evolution or improvement of our agile working model, and guide the development of our squads and clusters to sustainably embed an effective and value-adding agile way of working in the department.
