Siemens: Agile Transformation

In the Smart Infrastructure division, we methodologically guided the transition from waterfall management to agility. We established processes for 6 international teams, defined new roles, and implemented tools for effective planning. The result is increased development flexibility and a strong culture built on a shared vision and priorities.

About Siemens, s.r.o.

With the Customized Automation team from the Czech branch of Siemens, we established 3 fundamental goals for our agile coaching – to improve planning, refine estimations, and foster a sense of project and task ownership throughout the entire team. During our close collaboration, we clarified the motives behind the set goals and together found ways to work more effectively within the environment of Siemens methodology and established procedures, not only by using agile approaches.

Client Testimonial

"Projectman helped with the implementation of agile management into teams involved in HW and SW development for IoT. Projectman consultant Pavel Humpolec coached 3 line teams working concurrently on multiple projects during organizational changes, helped set up agile planning, and improved the utilization of development management tools.


The evaluation of individual areas improved over less than three months from an average of 3.5 points to 4.1 points on a five-point scale (a questionnaire survey among team members).


A critical success factor was the motivation and openness of the team and the support of management throughout the duration of the collaboration."
