Carsten Lutzen

Agile Coach in The LEGO Group

I like motivating people and helping them achieve their goals and to make sure that the team performs well. I love to look at processes and try to improve them using the tools in my (agile) toolbox. I don't believe that one methodology exists that will work on all projects, hence we need to tweak the tools for every single project and take the things that works and skip the things does not.
 
 Another love of mine is making software that needs to be performant using clever software architecture combined with heavy computer science theory within the field of performance and optimization techniques.
 
 Combining these two things it is possible to create user-centric software and experiences.
 
 I have facilitated a lot of different workshops on agile thinking, agile mindset/behavior and how to find the balance between agility and a plan oriented apporaches.
 I have taught more than 300 people in different sessions where we have worked on mindset, when to use agile tools and when not to use them.
