About the Author

Peter Koning has been responsible for many agile teams for many years.
After studying computer science at the University of Leiden, he started as
a programmer and team manager. In 2005, he took his first steps in the
agile mindset and the Scrum framework, the first years as manager of
teams in the Netherlands and Romania. Partly because of this, he learned
the importance of a good culture. In the years that followed, he fulfilled
various roles, such as Scrum Master, team manager, agile project
manager, and department manager. As an agile project manager, he was
responsible for a large project that involved a complete rebuild of the
flagship of an organization. He has come to understand the importance of
quickly learning from real users. As a department manager, he was
responsible for various agile teams in both the run and change
environments. That taught him the importance of ownership and
facilitating the right environment in which the teams can take this
ownership.

In recent years, he has worked at Prowareness as a senior leadership

consultant and entrepreneur. He has advised, trained, and coached all
kinds of managers in agile leadership. In addition, he supervised several
agile transformations and gave a lot of training and workshops. Peter is
also the entrepreneur of Relead, a company within the Prowareness
family that focuses on training, mentoring, and advising leaders and
leadership teams.
