Format

This course spans two days, but don’t worry…we’re going to have lots of breaks.  Plan for a break every hour or so.  Breaks will last anywhere from five to fifteen minutes plus we’ll have a break up to one hour for lunch.

Here’s a glimpse of what one of our courses looks like.

Praise from Real Students

  • I usually hate "participatory" training, but Carlton's no-nonsense delivery, depth of knowledge and organization made the entire experience worthwhile and enjoyable.  Thank you!

  • The presentation of the materials was easy to understand. The hands-on practice exercises reinforced the lecture.  Well done!

  • Carlton was phenomenal!  His use of Miro, along with good pacing, engaging breakouts and easy-to-understand analogies, made the time pass by quickly.  Two thumbs up!

  • Carlton was a fantastic educator.  He was relaxed, great at inviting questions and paused for just the right amount of time to elicit responses.

 Here’s a list of the topics we are going to cover in this course.

  • Deeper dive into the Scrum Master core competencies of facilitation & coaching.

  • Advanced practices the Scrum Master uses to serve the Scrum Team.

  • Core product management concepts necessary to coach the Product Owner.

  • Scaling & organizational change patterns required to coach the organization. 

  • Identify what motivates & sustains you as a Scrum Master.

  • Go deeper into Lean, Agile and Scrum practices.

If all you’re looking for is another Scrum cert, then there are other providers out there who will get you there faster and cheaper.  You don’t need to come to this class.

If you want to go beyond the artifacts, ceremonies and story points to explore why interest in Scrum has endured for over twenty years, then this is the course for you.  We designed this class for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of why Scrum works and how they can apply Scrum to their work.  Scrum Masters, Developers, Product Owners, managers, executives or any other stakeholders who interact with a Scrum Team will benefit from taking a deeper look at the role of the Scrum Master.
