Hi everyone,
It was a only a few years ago, while researching Agile methods for my MBA dissertation, that I stumbled across the Scrum agile development methodology. By pure luck I was just in time - by a few days - to join one of Ken Schwaber's early Scrum Master training sessions, held right here in Edinburgh. I remember thinking at the time that I learnt more about managing projects and leading people during those 2 days than I learnt during the first 2 years of MBA - and for less than 10% of the cost. A couple of years later I'm still hooked on Scrum and I still think it will change the world, but I struggle to recall much of use from the MBA.
So ... I'm delighted to announce, on behalf of AgileScotland, that Boris Gloger and Jens Ostergaard will facilitate Scrum Master Certification Training on the 24th to 25th November in the Abby Business Centre on Princes Street in Edinburgh. They will also be running an open Scrum-related evening session.
Boris and Jens are two of only a few certified ScrumMaster Trainers in the world, both having been trained by Scrum co-founder Ken Schwaber. They have been using Scrum in various projects and teams and have facilitated Scrum Master Certification Training sessions in Europe, Australia and the USA. During the course they will share their experiences about estimating, planning, running cross-functional teams, scalling scrum, implementing Scrum in hostile environments ... and a whole lot more.
You can find more details about the course and booking instructions at: http://www.scrumeducation.com/scrumedu/Class/id~10. The 2 day course costs 1000 euros (about £690).
