About Kai

Hi everyone, I’m Kai Stevens – a passionate product owner with over 12 years of Product Owner experience in different environments and a drive to build game-changing (software) products with inspiring people. I have worked with several development teams on challenging products in the past years. I am experienced in all aspects of product ownership, from vision and strategy to tactics. You will find me pushing the limits to release early and often to validate assumptions and deliver value at a rapid pace. When working with me, you will experience a compelling WHY at any time while I leave the HOW to others with clear boundaries to succeed. Besides my work as a product owner, I also run my own company: The Product Owner Coach. The mission of The Product Owner Coach is to help other product owners grow further in this beautiful but challenging role. The workshops and training I provide tap right into my daily experience as a product owner, which helps bridge theory to practise in reality daily.

About Sjoerd

Sjoerd Kranendonk is an active Scrum practitioner who started as a full-stack software developer. In those early days, he was already trying to support collaboration and improve stakeholder interactions (circa 2012).

From there, things escalated quickly. After discovering Scrum and seeing the challenges and potential of the Scrum Master role, Sjoerd promptly grew in the role and became licensed as a Professional Scrum Trainer in 2017. From the outset, Sjoerd collaborated with(in) teams, building valuable products while collaborating with stakeholders beyond the team. Sharing knowledge and helping others share theirs is his favourite way of learning and assisting others to learn. This approach can be found in his Scrum Master and Agile Coaching assignments, his projects and the classes, like the one you are looking at now.

Sjoerd has always had a keen interest in the human side of Product Management and applying empiricism to discover what is valuable to the relevant Stakeholders involved. Scrum and empiricism help us get assumptions clear and validate or dispel them as a team. This helps us make better decisions, improve our work, and effectively create valuable products and services.
