Upcoming Public Scrum.org Courses

I warmly invite you to accredited Scrum.org training!

Each training takes the form of a workshop, allowing participants to practice specific situations or tools. After such a course, it is much easier to apply the practiced skills at work.

Scrum.org courses can be conducted online or in-person. The virtual version also includes plenty of exercises and similarly to the in-person one, involves group work.

After each certified Scrum.org training, the participant receives two attempts for the exam and training materials.

This course is an interactive, experiential workshop where attendees explore topics through a series of exercises and discussions. Students should have at least one year of Product Owner experience and a practical knowledge of Scrum in order to participate in and benefit from these exercises. The Professional Product Owner-Advanced course is an advanced course specifically designed for Product Owners and product managers who have practical experience managing or owning a product. It is also beneficial to Scrum Masters and stakeholders who work with Product Owners. It is particularly beneficial for those with at least one year of building products with a Scrum Team.

This is one of the most valuable courses. During the training, participants experience Scrum not only from the theory and mechanic’s perspective but also values and principles. They deliver a real product. Also, they experience new, agile ways of working that enable teams to deliver more value, satisfy stakeholders and work better together. Students work together as a team in a series of Sprints to build a product, facing the same problems they face outside of class and learning how to use Scrum to address them.

For whom? I would say for everyone, and this is not an exaggeration. My recommendation to participate in the class is for roles such as Managers, Leaders, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Development Team members, Project and Program Managers. Everyone who is a part of the Scrum team or supports Scrum Teams.

The form of the class is a workshop that includes simulation, plenty of exercises, and some parts of lectures. The real-life example shows how the Scrum framework works in practice. The goal is to experience how to deliver a potentially releasable, valuable Increment each Sprint.

Slide-free formula. Many exercises, posters, trainers’ best and newest practices, make this event practical and meaningful. After the class, participants should know how to start working with Scrum in their organizations.

The workshops are intense. In addition to simulation, I introduce many other exercises during the training.

This course is a combination of instruction and team-based exercises and teaches what is at the heart of the Scrum and Agile movement.

Students are challenged to think within the Scrum framework and the underlying values and principles to better understand what to do when returning to the workplace and facing complex decisions.

All participants completing the Professional Scrum Master course will receive a password to attempt the PSM I assessment and are also entitled to a discount on the PSM II assessment. The industry-recognized PSM certifications require a minimum passing score on these rigorous assessments.

Course includes

The official Scrum.org training material

Over the two days, students will learn about areas critical to growing as a successful Scrum Master such as how the principles and values of Scrum help guide Scrum Masters in the decisions they make and how the Scrum Master can help change the environment of Scrum Teams, creating an environment for agility to thrive. The Scrum Master role is complex, and often, a Scrum Master must be able to apply different stances to be effective.

As a Scrum Master, part of your role is to help management and other stakeholders across your organization to understand the benefits of Scrum and Agile. Therefore, it is imperative that you have the information and background that is needed to gain credibility to be an effective change agent. Throughout the class, your trainer will provide stories, exercises, facilitation techniques (such as “Liberating Structures”), resources, and more.

During the transformation, during which the organization becomes agile – “agile” – the role of the board, senior management, each person as a manager and each member of agile teams is essential. It is all levels in the organization that have an impact on how their work is organized, how it is managed, and how the effects of this work are measured. Agile teams can’t do all this alone without the support of the entire organization. Striving for agile organization requires profound changes in everyone involved, as well as a common goal and ways of cooperation.

Professional Agile Leadership Essentials is a 2 day workshop to equip leaders and managers of Agile teams along with their Product Owners and Scrum Masters to help their organizations change by providing participants with:

An overview of what “Agile” is and why organizations need it to thrive in a changing world.
The means to identify the potential opportunities, challenges and impacts of Agile in terms of business value and why this is so important to the next generation organization.
An understanding of techniques to support teams to sustain long-term agility including the role that leaders play, shifts in thinking, and the relationship between complexity and empiricism
Ways to continue the development of the people to help them grow and prosper in an agile way of working.
Guidance of how to measure and guide agile product delivery.
Discuss ways to scale agility across several teams within the organization while keeping them working together to deliver on a common vision.

With markets and customer needs constantly changing, organizations need information and evidence that helps them adapt quickly to new challenges and opportunities so that they can deliver greater value and achieve true business agility. Yet often organizations that use Agile product development techniques use traditional management approaches, expecting leaders to set firm long-term goals and manage progress toward them with dashboards of static metrics.

That is why Scrum.org created the Evidence-Based Management™ (EBM) framework which is an Agile approach to help leaders guide their teams toward continuously improving customer outcomes, organizational capabilities, and business results. EBM focuses on customer value and intentional experimentation to systematically improve an organization’s performance and achieve their strategic goals.

In the Professional Agile Leadership™ – Evidence-Based Management™ (PAL-EBM) one day course, participants learn what EBM is and how to apply it through hands-on, activity-based learning. Through a series of exercises participants learn techniques that support a more agile mindset:

• Use empiricism to set and achieve strategic goals, managing the unknown and complexity through experimentation and by adapting goals along the way

• Create a cultural environment using clear goals, appropriate measures and trust to enable selfmanagement and autonomy

• Shift the conversation away from measuring progress purely through team performance metrics, toward a focus on customer-centricity and improving customer outcomes

• Drive operational improvements by using four Key Value Areas (Unrealized Value, Current Value, Time-toMarket, and the Ability to Innovate) as lenses for evidence-based decision-making

Course Learning Objectives

Understand the essential aspects of goals and measures and how they influence behaviors and an organization’s culture and values

• Help organizations embrace empiricism as a leadership approach. Using experimentation to incrementally steer toward the organization’s goals

• An appreciation for how goals and trust act together to enable autonomy, transparency, and value delivery

• Correlate market leadership and sustainability to curiosity, adaptation, and empiricism

• Understand how to use EBM and its KVAs to focus measurements on improving market value and operational capabilities

Who Should Attend

PAL-EBM is for professionals in leadership roles (including executives, managers, Scrum Masters, Product Owners, coaches, and consultants) who:

• Are responsible for the success of their product delivery programs or Agile transformations and are seeking a means to measure and demonstrate that success

• Are looking for a framework that identifies improvement areas that increase their business agility, including their time to pivot to meet new challenges and deliver customer value

• Want to help their organization embrace empiricism and experimentation to find solutions for complex problems (where more is unknown than known or the situation changes rapidly)

• Want to articulate goals and measures in a way that fosters self-management and empower their teams to understand the connection between their work and the value their organization is providing and customer is receiving

• Want to be more effective in how they measure success by using Agile measures rather than traditional measurement models (including the use of velocity)
