You’re here because you want to take your user story writing to the next level, develop your business further or ship better products with actual customer value? Or maybe you want to understand what all these people  talk about when they use the term “user stories”?

Who Am I?

Hi, my name is Christopher and I am an Agile Coach. I used to work as a Product Owner, got lost in documents, was making loads of mistakes and wrong decisions. Then something changed. I transformed the way I look at user stories, adapted lean thinking and went on to build international eCommerce stores taking them from zero to six-figure revenue per month.

I have been working full-time as an Agile Coach for the last few years and just love to empower individuals and teams to think agile and build customer-oriented solutions.

Transform the way you write user stories now and – Last Back To The Future reference I swear – let this course be your flux capacitor to start writing your future.
