About Wolfram Knelangen

If we want users to like our software we should design it to behave like a likeable person: respectful, generous and helpful." — Alan Cooper Independent professional with 20+ years of experience in music technology. Proven track record of: • Delivering products on time and in scope • Building and sustaining high-performing teams • Protecting and fostering innovation in large global companies • Advising executives on creating and implementing successful product strategies • Implementing lean, pragmatic processes for increased efficiency (and happiness!) Asking, debating, learning about and solving the questions below is as much a passion as a profession: PRODUCTS What makes a great product? How do we measure its greatness? Where is the sweet spot between 'perfect' and 'good enough'? How do we learn from our customers? How do we stay ahead of the competition? How do we prevent the inmates from running the asylum? PEOPLE What makes a high-performing team? How can one prevent and solve dysfunction? What is needed to create a trustful, inspiring environment? What brings out the best of individuals and their complimentary strengths? What makes a sensible goal and how do you evaluate performance? PROCESSES Can we measure complexity in product development? How? What is the definition of done? Is it possible to spend 20% of the effort to evaluate the remaining 80%? What KPIs show that a project is going off track? How do we document something that we don't even have enough time to implement? How does risk relate to value and how does it impact prioritisation?
