Schiller & Partners helps companies introduce agile methods and structures that actually fit — without dogma. Teams work more autonomously, decisions are made faster, results become visible sooner.
We support agile transformations from analysis to implementation. Whether Scrum, Kanban, or hybrid approaches — what matters is what fits your culture and challenges.
With our work, your company becomes agile and future-proof again – step by step, with smart risk management (de-risking), strong decisions, optimized insight processes, and technologies. Without making a big fuss. Without agility buzzwords.

Daily stand-ups, but no one dares to openly address problems.
Teams work 'self-organized,' but everyone waits for approval from the boss.
There are sprints, but everything still feels sluggish and reactive.
Roles are introduced, but the old power structures continue to determine the course.
Every retrospective brings up the same issues – but nothing changes.
The daily lasts 30 minutes – and is still just a status meeting.
We now have Kanban boards – but tasks still remain untouched for weeks.
Our meetings are now called 'Daily,' but only the boss speaks.
We've hung agile values on the wall, but everyday life continues as usual.
There are new roles, but the old responsibilities were never clarified.
We now do retrospectives – but nobody knows what should change.
We have an agile pilot project – but the rest works as before.
The tip of the iceberg? – The real problems are not being addressed.
Daily business consumes everything, every effort falls by the wayside.

Good! You seem to be on the right track.
You may be stuck in semi-agility. Let's talk!
Dailies without effect. Retrospectives as a formality. Boards full of tickets, but little progress. This is the hill of semi-agility – and many remain standing there. But there are higher peaks to climb. With the right compass and first steps despite the fog. Without piling up new process mountains.
We bring structure to change – strategic, clear, and human. So that change doesn't stall, but strengthens.
