Why Join Us?

Learn how to own outcomes, not orders. Manage product development, and build products your customers love.

Learning by doing

Scrum is easy to understand but challenging to master. Learning new skills requires an experiential environment where you can practice your newly acquired skills. Therefore, we don't use dry lectures. More importantly, learning happens when you are having fun!

Our participants experience Scrum concepts and principles through case studies, games, simulations, group discussions, and role-playing exercises.

How do we train?

This course encourages constructive dialogue to understand the why of agile and Scrum values and principles. We go beyond canned responses and deep practical aspects of implementing Scrum in the real world.

You need a practical grasp of agile practices to be effective in your world of work. We engage in fun, interactive role-playing simulations. This helps you to be better prepared to handle even the most challenging situations in your real world of work.
