What I change
Less manual work comes from how a team works, not from one tool. Four things I do, with the proof next to each.
Main focus
Polarion, from spec to production
Custom extensions in Java, REST, Velocity and workflow scripts, with CI/CD and automated release documentation.
- Plugins for Polarion ALM, including the avaCopilot AI assistant at avasis
- Containerized setups so a fresh Polarion runs in minutes: Polarion Docker
- Faster editing inside Polarion, no SVN checkout: Polarion Code Editor
AI agents & MCP
Agents that work on real Polarion data
No more copying work items into a chat and the answer back.
AI enablement
Teams that use AI properly
Coaching on real tickets, not slideware.
- AI Enablement Hub: 6+ coaching modules, from €149
- On-the-job coaching for Polarion plugin developers at avasis
- An AI-assisted coding course for StackFuel, built around OpenAI Codex
Sharing
What works goes into the open
Tools, guides and write-ups that other teams can reuse.
A digital colleague
Always three steps ahead
I'm building my own, and it takes work off my plate: programming, documentation, tests. It is the team I don't have to hire. I feed it my knowledge, ideas and experience, so it never outgrows me and I keep the time to research and keep learning. I don't stand still. Second Brain
