Welcome to an extraordinary learning experience in the world of Agile and Scrum with Dave Sharrock, a seasoned Scrum and Agile trainer with over 15 years of expertise. This training goes beyond the ordinary and is enriched by Dave's real-life experiences, making it a truly unique opportunity for professional growth.

Unlike traditional presentations, this interactive class focuses on genuine engagement with the attendees. Dave believes in the power of direct experience, and the class is designed around a simulation exercise where you, as participants, collaborate as a team to create a new digital product in real time. This hands-on approach allows you to grasp the underlying values and principles of Agile and Scrum by learning through doing, making mistakes, and learning from them within a safe and supportive environment.

Prepare yourself for an unparalleled learning journey that will not only equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel as a ScrumMaster but also instill the confidence to drive positive change and improve the delivery capability of any team.

Key concepts:

Every course covers the core learning objectives of the CSM while leaving room for deeper conversations led by the questions and challenges class attendees bring up in class.
