Client Experiences

Communication with Merle was prompt and clear; all questions were always answered efficiently. The communication flowed smoothly and understandably, instilling confidence throughout the entire process. The organizational side was also meticulously planned and executed flawlessly, making the collaboration pleasant and professional. We quickly defined the scope, everything proceeded smoothly, and the participants were very satisfied! Thank you!

Elizabeth Pogosjan, Training and Recruitment Specialist, and
Villu Teearu, IT Technology Manager @ Elisa

Collaboration with Merle is exceptionally smooth – characterized by rapid information exchange, a collaborative approach to finding suitable solutions, and a friendly, supportive attitude. As a trainer, Merle is a true professional in her field, customizing training programs to meet specific company needs and delivering them flawlessly.

Marjana Teevet, Training and Recruitment Specialist
@ State IT Centre (RIT)

Merle conducted a Product Owner role training program that was flexibly tailored to our needs, demonstrating profound knowledge and sharing practical tips that we can immediately apply in our daily work.

Mihkel Künnapas, Analyst @ CGI

We leveraged Merle Randlepp's extensive practical experience and knowledge to elevate our development process and planning. Her greatest value to us was her diverse background in software development, having served as a developer, development client, product owner, and customer. This multifaceted experience was instrumental in helping us navigate significant changes, consider the interests of all stakeholders, and avoid common pitfalls. We are confident that a trainer with only theoretical knowledge would not have yielded the same excellent results. With Merle's assistance, we achieved all our objectives, now operate significantly more efficiently, and were thoroughly pleased with the project.

Berit Veske, CEO @ Directo OÜ

Merle's training was exceptionally well-structured and professionally delivered. Our product owners particularly appreciated the realistic product management simulation, which was sufficiently detailed, true-to-life, and expertly guided.

Raul Kallas, Head of Digital Services Department @ Consumer Protection and Technical Regulatory Authority (TTJA)

Collaboration with Merle has always been exceptionally pleasant and seamless. I particularly value her meticulous preparation before each training session, her thorough engagement with participants, and the high-quality materials that effectively reinforce the learning outcomes.

Inga Raud, HR Specialist @ Centre of Health and Welfare Information Systems (TEHIK)

We are extremely grateful to Merle for her thorough preparation and personalized training program! Under her guidance and through an open forum, our product owners achieved a unified understanding and a clear foundation for moving forward.

Elina Makk, Training Specialist @ Coolbet

It was highly commendable that the trainer opted not to deliver extensive theoretical content, but instead selected and conducted practical exercises focusing on the most crucial techniques that could benefit our team.

Evelin Tamla, Head of Financial Analysis, Baltics, @ Omniva

In a short period, Merle delivered a foundational agile development training to over 60 individuals involved in IT development. She provided essential initial knowledge and a significant motivational boost, inspiring the entire organization to embrace Scrum and progressively apply their new understanding. We are grateful for your excellent and practical guidance!

Aive Normak, Head of Development Department @ Centre of Registers and Information Systems (RIK)

We are extremely satisfied with our decision to engage Merle as an external consultant for the development project. Her involvement significantly expedited the preparation of procurement documentation, providing us with much greater assurance that we have avoided any critical and potentially costly errors in development acquisition. Furthermore, we now have a far clearer understanding of ongoing development, as we no longer need to rely solely on the developer's statements or our own sometimes limited expertise, thanks to Merle's continuous neutral expert assessment.

Indrek Pärli, Digital Communication Specialist @ Bank of Estonia

Collaboration with Merle is consistently pleasant and seamless. She maintains a comprehensive view of projects while never overlooking the finer details. Her work is structured and transparent, involving continuous consultation with all stakeholders. Upon completion of a project, you feel content and well-supported, with a heartfelt desire to express gratitude – thank you, Merle.

Priit Parro, Board Member @ Parro Productions OÜ

Our initial interaction with Merle was during a training session, where her well-structured and easily comprehensible communication style as a trainer truly stood out. Furthermore, we collaborated with Merle on an information system audit, where our objective was to benchmark our processes against market best practices rather than conducting a standard compliance audit. Our collaboration with Merle was highly effective, and her practical expertise proved invaluable during the audit. We acquired new experiences and knowledge, and we intend to continue our cooperation whenever possible.

Marek Suurniit, Lead Auditor, Financial Control Department @ Ministry of Finance

Merle is simply there for you – as a project manager, product owner, team motivator, presentations designer etc. We had the honour of working with her. Huge respect.

Maris Järvsoo, Business Development Project Manager @ Postimees

It is a pleasure to work with Merle because she thoroughly examines your problem, comprehends it, and proposes an excellent solution.

Piret Frey, Product Owner @ Äripäev Information Resources

Merle's remarkable ability as a coach and Scrum Master to motivate and assist team members is truly admirable. She swiftly identifies the core of any issue, knows precisely what actions to take, and guides all stakeholders with a helpful and supportive demeanor. Her work is consistently flawless, meticulously planned, and executed to an exceptionally high standard. It has been an honor to collaborate with her and to learn from her expertise.

Kati Kangur, Country Manager @ Wunder Estonia

Merle is a long-standing colleague of mine. It is reassuring to witness her comprehensive understanding of all project management aspects, ensuring projects are completed seamlessly, perhaps even uneventfully, as all risks are effectively mitigated.

Ragnar Kurm, Technical Architect @ Wunder Estonia

I collaborated with Merle for several years on the ERJK information system development project, where I served as the client and she as Wunder's project manager. Merle's responsibility was to translate my financial requirements into technical specifications, a task she executed flawlessly. The collaboration was characterized by trust, warmth, and professionalism – precisely the kind of partnership every client hopes for.

Zoja Masso, Financial Advisor @ Committee for the Supervision of Party Financing

What is the RICE model in product development?

by Merle | Mar 22, 2024

In product development, we never have enough time or resources to implement all desired initiatives. Product owners constantly evaluate which developments to pursue and which to postpone, and making the right decisions is far from easy. The RICE model helps us make faster and more accurate decisions when prioritizing tasks.

Agility posters

by Merle | Apr 20, 2021

Posters are very useful tools for conveying the message and there is great power in visualisation. Before the corona time, I used them on the walls of meeting rooms, but now in the virtual Zoom era, I used them in the Miro environment. Here you will find some of my agile posters and some favorites from other authors. Everything is meant to be used freely!
