CERTIFIED SCRUM MASTER WORKSHOP
SERVANT LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP
SCRUM MASTER
Refresher
Scrum Master is the most important role in Scrum. It’s a delicate role and too specialized to be treated lightly. If this role is set up correctly, delegated to the right person and empowered, it can help the teams become highly effective in a very short time. Our Scrum Master training includes in-depth exploration of the role, discussions on Agile anti-patterns, practical use cases and role play to address a wide range of issues that teams face on a day to day basis and how a good Scrum Master would address them effectively.
PRODUCT OWNER
Refresher
The Product Owner is another important role in Scrum. This role needs to be played by the right person and implemented carefully to be effective. A good product owner creates a shared understanding of the product/project vision and goals between the business and development team. Our training for the Product Owner covers several important aspects of this role including responsibilities, product visioning, release planning, estimations, prioritization techniques, scaling, participation in team ceremonies etc. We also do role play by simulating various Scrum ceremonies and situations to highlight how this role can be played effectively.
STAKEHOLDER TRAINING
Agile cannot thrive by focusing solely on teams. For all round agility to grow and thrive in an organization, it’s important to educate the leaders, executives and other stakeholders on the Agile mindset. An effective Agile transformation must grow together in both (“bottom up” and “top down”) directions. Our training includes a broad range of topics to help the stakeholders understand clear meaning, expectations and empowerment of different roles, waste reduction, anti-patterns etc. We also provide practical ideas on how executives and senior leaders can help build trust through accountable actions that also minimize bureaucracy.
EXECUTIVE LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Executive leadership training is essential for any company to achieve true agility. The bottom-up agile transformations do not last long and get disrupted time and again if the leaders and executives don’t carry and execute with the Agile mindset. It has often been seen that the leaders who want Agile transformations in their organizations, also (unintentionally) create or become impediments to that transformation. The reason is that they lack the deeper understanding of Agile values and Principles which results in actions that hamper agility. Our state-of-the-art 1 and 2 day leadership training helps leaders imbibe the Agile mindset deeply. After this training the leaders move as Agile champions supporting the bottom-up transformation while championing the top-down transformation in parallel. Leaders learn to take accountability for resolving bigger impediments in a visible way which leads to minimizing bureaucracy thereby increasing agility
CUSTOMIZED TRAINING
We also provide customized personal onsite or online training to meet the needs of teams and organizations. Topics such as (but not limited to), TDD and other engineering practices, story point estimations, pair and mob programming, deep dive into Agile values and principles, improv games etc. come under this category.
