Peter Gfader is a technical coach and founder with 12+ years transforming software teams and products across Europe, now leading Samman Technical Coaching and Beyond Agility from Zurich. He blends deep engineering roots and hands-on architecture experience with Agile, Lean Product Management, and product discovery to turn chaotic projects into sustainable value streams. A long-time Scrum.org trainer and organizer of Software Craftsmanship Zürich, he’s known for practical practices like TDD, CI/CD, XP and Impact Mapping that elevate teams from strong individuals to high-performing units. He also teaches at the University of Bern and has a history of consulting and technical leadership at Zühlke and SSW, combining classroom coaching with real delivery experience. Peter’s mission—born of genuine frustration with “shitty software”—is to improve the craft through coaching, training and community, making measurable impact on how products are discovered and built.
