When is the next "Agile Scrum Learning Experience" in Virginia?

Hey, CMMI Appraiser,

When is your next Agile training class in the DC area? ~ F. Montcrief

Hey, F,

Good news, if you're looking to participate in agile training before the end of the year. We've got a DC-area Agile training class coming up right around the corner.  Join us for the Agile Scrum Learning Experience!

Agile Scrum Learning Experience

A 2-Day Workshop for IT Teams

Come on over to Fairfax, VA on December 13/14, for this two-day, hands-on, experiential workshop that is based on the Professional Scrum Master (PSM) and Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) certifications from Scrum.org.

What's the class like?

In a word, useful. You'll actually get to make decisions as part of a Scrum team, where you'll experience Agile values, participate in Scrum ceremonies, try on new roles, and figure out how to deal with artifacts and documentation (eeeek!). You'll experience these lessons by working through a series of exciting, fast-paced projects that use legos, dart guns, cards, balloons, and videos.

Yes, you'll have fun. But these are real-life Agile skills you'll be learning here, that can completely transform your company and career. All within an Agile setting, you'll get to play the role of Scrum Master, Scrum Product Owner, Agile Team Member and Customer. You'll iterate. You'll collaborate. You'll fail fast. You'll learn to be more Agile.

Check it out. Class doors close in two weeks.  REGISTER HERE

Hope to see you there!
