Great support from wibas Scrum Master Sarah Grosch at dwpbank
Since July 2024, Sarah Grosch, Scrum Master at wibas, has been supporting our newly founded AppOps team (application operations) at dwpbank. From the very beginning, she contributed her extensive expertise and mastered the challenges the team faced with empathy, competence and commitment. These ranged from personnel changes to high technical requirements.
We were particularly impressed by the way Sarah successfully integrated new colleagues with no previous agile experience into the team and coached them intensively. She established an agile mindset, introduced Kanban and promoted collaboration with other teams. Her ideas and impulses not only moved the team forward, but also served as a role model for all of us.
Sarah went far beyond the classic tasks of a Scrum Master in her role and took on the responsibility of an Agile Coach in many areas. Her commitment has brought about lasting and positive changes, and her valuable feedback has opened up new perspectives for us.
We would like to thank wibas and Sarah for this outstanding support. Their work was an enrichment for our team. We look forward to further joint projects!

Agile product development at Merck.
"Through the support of wibas, we have found a pragmatic way to concretely address our challenges instead of working around them. With the right tools and methods for our use cases, we can establish the right patterns in our way of working and make visible progress."

Customized Scrum Product Owner training for DB Energie
The role of Product Owner was filled in several of our project teams at DB Energie.
Some employees already had previous experience in agile working, while others had none at all. The challenge was to hone different levels of knowledge in the area of agile working and product owner roles and to bring all employees in the project teams up to the same level of knowledge.
In our collaboration with wibas, we experienced a good development of our project teams through customized Certified Scrum Product Owner and Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner trainings.
Through these trainings, the project team members acquired dedicated and condensed know-how. Thanks to the highly competent trainers, who responded to individual needs, our teams not only gained relevant theoretical knowledge, but also practical skills for direct use in their day-to-day work. The in-house training format also helped to ensure that the project team members were able to share the same challenges and needs with each other.
The wibas trainers are very knowledgeable and you could feel their wealth of experience. It was anything but a battle of slides - the content was conveyed very clearly through interactive group sessions and the balancing act of different prior knowledge was mastered well.
I would recommend working with wibas to any organization that would like to think outside the box and obtain external expertise.

Agile strategy development at E-T-A
"E-T-A found a good partner in wibas, who supported us very well in the implementation of our strategy process, especially on the process side. Together with wibas, we succeeded in implementing the strategy process using agile methods and were thus able to very easily involve many people in the process, create a high level of transparency for everyone and at the same time keep efficiency in the process high. Through the coaching of wibas and the good process support, it was possible for us to learn new methods and approaches in the process at the same time as dealing with the factual topic of strategy."
- Ralf Dietrich, E-T-A Elektrotechnische Apparate GmbH.
Introduction of agile methods at SEW-Eurodrive.
"We were
looking for a consulting firm that can support us in the introduction and use of agile methods. For this we needed
a strong and experienced partner. wibas was and is our first choice here, because the people at wibas not only have the necessary
theoretical knowledge, but also a broad spectrum of practical experience.
Together with wibas GmbH, we discussed the possible and applicable agile methods for our company. The focus was on the agile methods that best suited our company and our objectives and generated the greatest possible added value. In the first step, we concentrated on empowering employees in the form of basic training and role-specific certification options. This was the start of a corresponding training program that we have been offering within our DriveAcademy® ever since, supported by experienced coaches from wibas GmbH;
However, the daily work with agile methods requires not only a theoretical (basic) knowledge, the attitude and cooperation also play an important role. Here, too, the agile coaches coaches of wibas GmbH accompanied us with their expertise, both in product development projects, as well as e.g. in larger IT projects.
Anyone who has ever gone through an agile transformation knows what the key is. With its experienced coaches, wibas GmbH helped us to quickly understand the nature of the new collaboration and to successfully establish it step by step."
- Daniel Kolb, Agile Coach, IT, SEW-Eurodrive
Introduction of agile working methods in software development teams at ABB.
"wibas has supported our software development teams in introducing agile working methods - primarily Scrum.
Our challenges were, on the one hand, the high workload of the teams and, on the other hand that a prioritization of the tasks was missing. Our goal was to improve the situation by taking the "pressure" off the shoulders of our colleagues.
Through the support of wibas, the satisfaction in the team could be increased. The colleagues have learned not to want to do everything immediately, to say "no" sometimes and to plan things according to priority.
The Working with wibas was very pleasant and fun. The wibas coaches have helped us a lot to get an understanding for agile methods and to implement them in a goal-oriented way.
We would definitely recommend working with wibas to other companies."
- Anne Heeke, Head of Digital, Energy Industries Germany Division at ABB.
Self-organized Kanban Service Team at wibas 😉
"We were faced with the challenge of building a self-organized team to deliver all of our in-house and open training organization as a service within wibas. The role of Julia, as our Agility Master, was critical to our success. She gathered observations, problems, ideas and prepared effective meetings to ensure trustworthy and open communication within the team. With weekly "kaizen meetings" at the beginning, we were able to make continuous improvements, and even though a weekly meeting may seem daunting at first, this cadence was crucial to our fast pace of development, which allowed our team to become a powerful and efficient flagship for wibas."
- Alexander Mrozek, Service Team Member, wibas
