An Approach to Scrum
Training Unlike Any Other
  • Hands-on learning of Scrum "what", "how" and "why"
  • Expert advice for "Yes, but in real life..." questions
  • Techniques to build an effective team without using a carrot and stick approach
  • Guidance to deliver the right product, not just features by a deadline
  • Methods to create a culture of learning and continuous improvement
  • Added value with continued support and resources - it's like extra training days with Mark
  • Followup exercises including how to measure progress, hold effective retrospectives and make changes that stick

Learn from the Scrum Expert
Who Keeps It Fun

Mark Levison is one of Canada's foremost experts in Scrum and Agile.

For more than 20 years, Mark has been helping teams get more done, build the right products and enjoy their work.

His training is well-known for being clear, compelling, and enjoyable. Throughout the course, you will learn by doing as Mark uses Scrum itself to facilitate the workshop! You'll quickly realize that you're putting the principles of Scrum into practice and already gaining experience, confidence, and inspiration.

Mark has trained over 4,000 people from every industry. He's seen every type of organizational challenge and can help you.

Insanely terrific. I have been bored silly at some Agile training classes. This was 100% interesting... okay, 98%. I get it now - the value of a *real* pro scrum master."

- Simon Crum

There's No Better Time to Invest in Your Team

Spark Change

Ignite new thinking and new perspectives in your organization

Gain Experience

Hands-on exercises, simulations, and case studies give you practical knowledge

Reinforce Learning

You're not alone after the workshop. We include community support and motivating follow-up training.

Learning That Sticks With You

The problem with many training sessions is that two weeks later you've forgotten 95% of everything you heard. Here's what makes us different:

  • We've designed our workshops using the science of learning
  • You get hands-on practical experience using Scrum
  • Resources, mentorship and followup learning exercises after the workshop
  • Ongoing expert and community support

These will all help you remember, practice and refine your ScrumMaster skills

I thought that you did a wonderful job of interacting with all of us and keeping us all engaged. I felt really involved and the technology components worked well. Zoom break out rooms; Mural for visualizing work and concepts; Google docs for team activities. They all came together really well. It was nice to be able to see and hear people."

Our Workshop is Different

Learn by Doing
Simulations and exercises will give you hands-on experience with Scrum.
Engaging & Fun
This is not a boring slideshow as you flip through a binder - you'll be fully engaged and active.
Great for First-Timers
You don't need any background in Scrum to dive in and learn. You'll be supplied with preparation information.
Small Class Size
Receive individual attention and ample opportunities to ask your questions.
Stimulating Discussion
Work through real-life scenarios and challenges to develop a plan going forward.
Ongoing Support
Exclusive post-course learning and community forum. Our long-term support will help you stay motivated, improve, and succeed.

You Can Get Unstuck

Are you frustrated with too much extra process? Struggling to deal with problems that arise or needs that quickly change?

Learn how to adapt and grow great teams.

You'll leave with new confidence because Scrum helps you identify changes and challenges so you can address them effectively.

Rave Reviews

"Having been a Scrummaster for a while, I was looking to get a refresher but I got a whole discovery out of it."
-Philippe
"I've been to a few Scrum courses and this was the best I have attended."
-Rafael
"I wasn't sure what to expect given my non-technical background but Mark was an amazing facilitator."
-Kristin

Don't Put This Off

The decline in performance that you already see, and that prompted you to look for help, isn't going to get better on its own. It will only get worse.

See the difference Scrum can make. Grab your spot now.

While other trainers may offer an agenda, that isn’t our style. We believe in Scrum, so we run each workshop using Scrum principles to give you immediate hands-on experience. Instead of an agenda, we use a Product Backlog of all the topics needed to meet all certification requirements, plus so very much more. Then just like in real Scrum, attendees work as a team with Mark to make choices about what gets added, reordered, etc.
