Agile Coach & Scrum Master · Dortmund
Two services, one standard: PI Planning as a Service and Agile Coaching.
“Miracles between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.; the impossible takes a little longer.”
Services
I support agile organizations on two levels — on their own or combined. Pick what you need right now.
Your big-room plannings — effectively planned, facilitated and delivered. From advising your RTE to full service including travel, catering and event management.
Guidance on the path to real agility — for teams, Scrum Masters, RTEs and leaders. So agile collaboration becomes a mindset, not just a method.
Service 01 · PIPaaS
PIPaaS is the effective delivery of your Big-Room Plannings.
In PI Planning, the planning scope of all teams for the next Planning Increment is defined. This means that significant business decisions are made during PI Planning. A Planning Increment usually lasts around 3 months and spans several sprints of 2–4 weeks each.
In most organizations everyone travels to the PI Planning — anyone who can’t be on-site joins remotely, whenever the presence of all is required. PI Plannings usually take place every 12 weeks, often quarterly. This rare opportunity to bring everyone to one table should be used to the fullest.
Process
Here’s how we work together — in four phases.
Clarifying the basics: stakeholders, teams and team sizes, location and travel readiness, further planning context.
Setting the basics, travel and location concept (who travels where, workshop location), catering and accommodation — hotels and catering.
Facilitating the central events: introduction to PI Planning, opening and organization, sorting stakeholders/business owners/teams, giving planning context, management review. Optional: team-building activity.
Q&A, feedback and lessons learned, next steps.
Maturity
Six levels on the path to the perfect PI Planning. Where are you — and what comes next?
Better predictability
Cross-team planning
Kick-off for scaled agility
Better exchange / team building
Relief for the RTE, more efficient PIP, lower travel costs
Synergies and cost reduction
This is usually where you pass through during the transformation — I’m happy to help here as an Agile Coach (→ Agile Coaching).
This is my home turf — here I take over for you: PIPaaS.
Agenda
The classic two-day PI Planning — extended with an optional Day 0 for team building, trainings and a company celebration. “Planning is already a bit of team building — so why not do it properly?”
“An army marches on its stomach” — breakfast, lunch and dinner are all thoughtfully planned in.
Booking
PIPaaS can be booked to your individual needs — from individual building blocks to complete delivery.
Individual workshops, trainings and facilitation modules — ideal to get started or for targeted support.

Service 02
Not every organization has arrived at PI Planning yet — and not every challenge is solved with a single event. As an Agile Coach I support you on the way there: in your transformation, in the team and in leadership.
Shaping the move into agile ways of working and scaled frameworks — from the first steps to your first real big-room planning.
Coaching for teams and for the key roles — Scrum Masters, Product Owners and RTEs — so agile collaboration really holds up day to day.
Authentic connection within the team and a fresh perspective on leadership — coaching for leaders who want to shape their role consciously.

About me
I’m Tina Thieme — Agile Coach and Scrum Master based in Dortmund. More than ten years of professional experience have taken me from commercial purchasing through technical customer service and team leadership to executive assistance. Most recently, I planned and ran quarterly PI Plannings for around 180 people for the Digital Business Unit of KION AG, organized customer events and facilitated workshops. On top of that comes public-sector experience: as a benefits caseworker under SGB II, I processed citizen’s-allowance applications and supported protection cases with particular attention to data protection. Today I bring all of that together in two services: PI Planning as a Service and agile coaching.
