Advanced Certified ScrumMaster Training with Andreas Schliep and Peter Stevens

Have you taken a look at Scrum, or perhaps read some of the books? Do you have the impression that you are missing some of the pieces of the puzzle needed to really understand Scrum? Or are you working within a Scrum Team, but have the feeling your not making any progress? Do you want to know how experienced Scrum Masters and Coaches dealt with difficult situations?

The trainers Andreas Schliep and Peter Stevens will accompany you through the highs and lows of the Scrum framework. Experience two exciting and insightful days, which will make everything about Scrum much clearer. With two (sometimes conflicting) perspectives from experienced Scrum Masters, you can deepen your own experience and judgment in applying Scrum.
