Aviation Lean Portfolio Management

Introducing Lean Portfolio Management at Condor, bringing structure to IT demand

Every department needed something from IT. Requests arrived informally with no structure, no minimum information, and no prioritisation. Everything was urgent, and nothing was visible.

Co-designed the LPM framework pragmatically mapped to Condor IT's actual context and maturity

Portfolio Kanban introduced in Jira, work became transparent, flow visible and trackable by everyone for the first time

Portfolio Epics and Enablers as structured intake gate, stopped the "throw it over the wall" culture of informal requests

Leadership able to prioritise strategically for the first time, with a real picture of what was in flight, waiting, and feasible

Manufacturing SAFe · Quarterly Planning

From disconnected teams to aligned delivery, introducing the ART model at WAGO

Six Scrum teams running well individually, but above them, no shared plan, no alignment, and no mechanism to protect commitments. Requests from sales, project managers, and external partners arrived without coordination and were absorbed silently.

Quarterly planning introduced, teams, stakeholders, and external partners in the same room, working from the same plan, negotiating trade-offs openly

Full ART cadence established, pre-planning, system demos, stakeholder alignment, and on-site quarterly events with external partners

Teams able to make constraints visible, "if we don't get the hardware by this date, we can't deliver", and leadership engaging with that reality

Aviation SAFe · ART Setup & Scaling

Building Condor's Agile Release Train from scratch, and watching it grow

Five teams, no shared structure, no cadence, no cross-team coordination. SAFe Essential was the target, but the gap between aspiration and reality was significant.

Designed, launched, and operationalized the ART, team structures, Jira setup, synchronized cadence, PI Planning

Coached Product Management, System Architecture, Scrum Masters, and leadership up to executive level

Established ART Sync, Feature Refinement, Communities of Practice, and end-of-PI System Demos as sustainable routines

Rail SAP · Agile Operating Model

"Agile isn't possible here", until it was. Introducing structured delivery into ÖBB's SAP department

Everything lived in mailboxes and SAP Solution Manager. Incidents sat unresolved for weeks. Nobody had an overview of what was being worked on or by whom, and the initial response to agile was: "that won't work for us."

Introduced Scrum and Kanban tailored to each team's reality, colour-coded Jira boards making ticket age, ownership, and blockers visible at a glance

Product Owners prioritising sprint content from a real backlog, teams working on what mattered, not whatever arrived loudest in the inbox

Shared developer service created, keyword-triggered Kanban board gave developers clarity and POs a structured alignment process

Business clients tracking and prioritising requests directly in Jira, knowing what was planned, deferred, and why
