Concept Development

Together with you, I'll develop the product concept and translate the business ideas into detailed software requirements.

For many years I have written concept papers, detailed software requirements or wireframes for my clients, either in German or English.

Depending on the project type and recipient group of the concept, these concepts can have very different characteristics, e.g.

User stories with acceptance criteria
Wireframes and prototypes
Text and graphs
Flowcharts
System diagrams

Project Management

Whether it is an international project team with dozens of participants on three continents or two developers at the neighboring table - with my project management, all project goals will be met without the involved people being worn out.

I have experience with more than a hundred software and online projects of all types and sizes, and I offer you both classic project management (e.g. based on the waterfall model) as well as agile approaches.
My project management service can be provided in English or German.
