If you live in the Seattle area or are attending Scrum Gathering Seattle 2011 May 16-18th, take a look at this terrific one-day event slated for the day before the event begins. Bachnan Anand, CSM, CSP, and CEO of Conscires Agile Consulting has put together a daylong course that "teaches the principles and practices that make Scrum effective at managing projects."
According to the course website, "The course itself uses the principles of Scrum, where the learning outcome is driven by the needs of the participants through a combination of expert instruction and self-directed learning. Opportunities to reflect and adapt the direction of the course are offered at regular intervals.At the end of the training the participants will have the confidence and understanding to begin to socialize Scrum at their own organization and support teams in improving their processes."
- The course will cover several elements, including:
- Scrum in Practice: the course is designed to illustrate Scrum in action.
- Understanding of the Agile Manifesto and what it means to them.
- Essence of Scrum: values, foundations and a new way of thinking.
- Understanding how Scrum values and foundations are related to the practices.
