Flight Levels Day
From slow to flow: How Flight Levels helped Axel Springer’s ComputerBild & AutoBild become three times faster as a Product Organization
Flight Levels Day 05 Talk by: Stephan Obbeck
We want to build great products for the users of Autobild and Computerbild. But organizational settings, different companies for Tech and editors made it difficult to streamline our development process.
The flight level approach seemed to us to be a suitable solution to this problem. We started with implementation at all three levels, the operational level, the tactical level and also the strategic level. Coordinating our product development but also the technical fundamentals via the level 2 level helped us to bring people from different areas together and to solve the different needs of the areas better and more transparently - and in particular to do the right things. Today we have a much better understanding of each others work, we pull together and have become much faster in our product development.
about the speaker
I have been working as a project manager and later as an agile coach in the IT industry for almost 30 years. Most of the time in an external consultant role, I was able to gain insights into many different companies and get to know a wide variety of agile approaches. Being a private pilot, I naturally love flight levels and have been able to gain good experience with them in projects.
Since 2021, I have been working as an agile coach at Axel Springer in the Tech & Product area, and since 2023 as team lead of the agile coaches at Axel Springer National Media & Tech GmbH
