CoCOO GmbH

What CoCOO GmbH does

CoCOO GmbH is a privately held German professional services firm headquartered in Kirchheim bei München that delivers agile methodology training, coaching, and consulting to organizations undergoing digital transformation. The firm sells instructor-led seminars preparing participants for certifications across five frameworks — Kanban (Kanban System Design, Kanban Systems Improvement), Large-Scale Scrum (Certified LeSS Practitioner), the Scaled Agile Framework suite (Leading SAFe, Lean Portfolio Management, Product Owner/Product Manager, Scrum Master), Scrum (Scrum Master, Product Owner), and Agile Requirements Engineering — in both in-person (Präsenz) and virtual formats via Microsoft Teams and ConceptBoard, with German and English delivery.

The company does not develop proprietary software; its core offering is expertise-based services delivered by a small network of credentialed independent specialists organized under the CoCOO Digital Team (CoCOO-DT) umbrella. CoCOO GmbH itself is reported at seven employees, while the broader specialist network includes figures such as a Managing Director who has co-authored nine books, one of the world's few certified LeSS trainers, a Europe-recognized Kanban expert, and SPC5-certified SAFe consultants.

The business model is professional services: revenue is generated through per-course fees in the €1,650 to €1,750 (net, plus VAT) range for open-enrollment seminars, complemented by in-house corporate training packages, individual and team coaching engagements, and consulting engagements that deploy subject-matter experts into client contexts. Go-to-market relies on the company website (cocoo.de) for demand generation, a published seminar calendar covering multiple dates throughout the year, and direct outreach, with the website and contact form serving as primary inbound channels. Customer segments span IT and software development organizations, non-IT enterprises adopting agile practices, and enterprise leadership functions such as portfolio management and PMOs. The firm is privately owned with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries, and primarily serves clients in Germany with some European reach.
