Teamflow Gmbh

What Teamflow Gmbh does

Teamflow GmbH is a privately held German agile consulting and training firm headquartered in Berlin at Bessemerstraße 51, with a second operational unit (an incubator and back-office) in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam. The company is co-led by Gereon Hermkes (CEO & Agile Business Coach) and Pauline Rummel (CEO & Chief Scrum Master), with Nga Pham as Head of Operations and a broader team of agile and technical consultants. Its commercial offering splits into three pillars: (1) Agile Project Consulting, providing Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches for large-project rescue and agile transformation; (2) Agiles Training, covering internal capability-building across Scrum, Kanban, Scrum@Scale, Product Owner, and Certified Team Leader; and (3) Technische Agilität (technical agility / software development and DevOps support). The core technology is methodology rather than software — Scrum, Scrum@Scale, and Kanban — delivered through certified trainers credentialed by Scrum Inc., Scrum Alliance, Kanban University, and the Certified Team Leader program.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements (custom-quoted in-house training and consulting retainers), per-participant public training fees (RSM €750; KSD €850–€1,250; RSASP €1,250; pricing denominated in EUR with 19% German VAT applied selectively), and ancillary book sales of the official Scrum@Scale publication 'Scaling Done Right' across Amazon, Audible, Apple Books, Google Play, Barnes & Noble, and Kobo. GTM is sales-led and enterprise-oriented: direct consulting engagements for large-project transformation, augmented by public and in-house training registrations via the company website and third-party platforms (eventbrite, ti.to). Named enterprise customers include Allianz, Bayer, Amgen, Vattenfall, VMware, CSC, and Frogster. The company is privately owned with no disclosed external investors.

Direct peers

• Scaled Agile: Scaled Agile is the company behind the SAFe framework and SAFe certification/training ecosystem — the principal competing "scaling agile" methodology to Scrum@Scale. It competes for the same enterprise transformation budgets and trainer pipeline.
• Agile42: Agile42 is a Berlin-based agile coaching, training and consulting firm offering Scrum, Kanban and large-scale transformation services — closely mirroring Teamflow's consulting-plus-certification model and overlapping DACH customer base.
• Mountain Goat Software: Mike Cohn's Mountain Goat Software is a long-standing Scrum training and consulting firm offering Certified Scrum Developer and Scrum Master courses plus enterprise coaching — directly comparable as a methodology-specific training-and-consulting boutique.
• Scrum Inc. Scrum Inc. is the certifying body founded by Scrum co-creator Dr. Jeff Sutherland and offers the same Registered Scrum Master and Scrum@Scale Practitioner certifications that Teamflow delivers through Gereon Hermkes. It is the most direct comparable — same framework, same certifications, same global trainer ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Boston Consulting Group: BCG delivers enterprise agile/digital transformations through BCG Platinion and its tech-build practices. Competes for the same enterprise transformation mandates as Teamflow but at vastly greater scale.
• McKinsey & Company: McKinsey operates a global organizational agility practice (McKinsey Transformation) targeting large enterprise clients for agile/digital transformation. Same enterprise buyer, much broader portfolio and scale.
• Accenture: Accenture is a global consulting giant with a large agile transformation practice serving enterprises like Allianz and Bayer — same enterprise buyers and overlapping agile-at-scale offerings, but as one of many capabilities inside a multi-billion-dollar firm.
• Scrum Alliance: Scrum Alliance is the largest Scrum certifying body, accrediting thousands of CSTs worldwide and granting SEUs/PDUs that Teamflow's courses rely on. It is the broader incumbent in the Scrum certification category in which Teamflow operates.
• Kanban University: Kanban University is the certifying body for Team Kanban Practitioner, Kanban System Design, and Kanban Systems Improvement — credentials Teamflow's CEO delivers as an AKT. It is the broader incumbent setting the curriculum Teamflow teaches.

Others

• Planview: Planview (which acquired LeanKit and VersionOne) provides enterprise lean/agile delivery tools and adjacent training. It is an enabling/adjacent player in the agile ecosystem rather than a direct consulting competitor.
