Increasing the Agility of Biotech Companies by Tuning their Scrum
This case study explores how a biochemical startup developing next-generation fast-charging batteries transformed its R&D processes by adopting and tailoring Scrum. Initially challenged by long development cycles and the complexity of scientific work, the company embraced cross-functional, self-managed teams and high-transparency practices. Through iterative progress and engaging Sprint Reviews, leadership and scientists aligned on rapid experimentation, smarter decision-making, and stronger team commitment. The result: a groundbreaking fast-charging battery developed within three years, with the company now preparing for commercial release. The case highlights the unique challenges of applying Agile in biotech and the crucial role of leadership support and cultural change.

This case study highlights how graphic facilitation transformed a Professional Scrum Master (PSM) training into an engaging and insightful learning experience. By combining Agile coaching with real-time visuals, participants explored team dynamics, roles, and challenges in a more interactive way. From choosing symbolic animals as presenters to visualizing key concepts like technical debt and the importance of Sprint Goals, the facilitation emphasized learning paths, captured participant mindsets, and brought humor into the classroom. Beyond deeper insights, the approach created curiosity, fun, and a lasting impact—so much so that participants even requested sketch training as a follow-up.

It highlights how managers often fall into directing rather than inspiring, leading to disengagement and task-driven cultures. True leadership, however, lies in vision, humility, trust, and the courage to empower professionals to thrive, while experts act as mentors without authority. Together, they can create motivated, goal-driven teams that achieve lasting success.
