Speaking
I speak about the decisions and relationships that shape technology work: adopting AI, examining delivery evidence and giving teams the authority to act. The talks draw on implementation, coaching and the questions people bring from their own organisations.

“Roman Lobus' session at Scrum Gathering Stockholm was an absolute highlight. His insights into the role of the Scrum Master in self-managed environments were both thought-provoking and practical.”
“Roman, practical, inspiring, applicable. Loved the bitesize approach of Roman. Would love to see more of him.”
