This is NOT your conventional Scrum training course!

And how this type of spirit can be applied to any innovative endeavor at works and in life!

As Steve Jobs put it in his 1995 Lost Interview:

“When you put together a small team of great people, they polish each other… the process is the magic, not just your original ideas...through this, common rocks become beautiful stones”
