Course

Why attend this particular course?

Specially designed as four HALF-DAY sessions to more easily fit your existing schedule while also aiding integration and retention of learning.

This course is different...

It isn't a series of group-based activities designed for almost anyone to cover the Events, Artefacts, etc, perhaps finishing with a fun game to make you feel good when it's time to complete a feedback form.

What makes this course so special?

It's both designed and facilitated only by our master-level coach with over 20 years of agile working and organisational change experience.

This allows us to provide a unique learning experience, far beyond the basic learning objectives of the course.

The whole course is based on the same principles and patterns that you're coming to learn. For example:

Throughout the entire first session, you'll experience using Scrum in an ideal, non-software environment.

Why is this important?

Whether you're new to Scrum or have been using it for years, the experience of using it to build something different, in an environment facilitated by one of the world's most experienced master-level coaches, creates the conditions for you to gain as many relevant insights as possible, whatever your current knowledge and experience.

Only a highly skilled and experienced coach and facilitator can host such an activity, allowing you and the group to gain as many of your own insights as possible while coaching you to even deeper levels of understanding and advancement of your skills and experience.

Trustpilot 5 Star Rating

"Great instructor. Stuart's engagement and techniques allow you to relate your learning (especially the simulations) to past experiences and enable you to realise the pitfalls you have been implementing and how you can remedy them."

Your Course Leader - Stuart Turner

Stuart Turner is the originator of the unique, fun and highly informative (and much copied) Scrum simulation. One of very few courses that uses a simulation early on, intentionally giving everyone a fidelitous experience of using Scrum and a shared context on which to build. The ordering of events in the course is deliberate, knowing experiential learning permits the deeper lessons and discoveries of the remainder of the course to be better understood, integrated and retained.

We'll experience how using the Scrum framework helps us discover more about our product, team and environment, and how we're working using the principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Based on what we discover we'll adapt our product and working practices in the pursuit of improving outcomes.

Highly recommended for anyone about mastering the Product Owner role and applying Scrum effectively in their organization.

This CSPO course was great. It was an interesting, well-organized, interactive course to take, which engaged students to learn, improved knowledge and skills of being a Product Owner through lessons/ instructions and practical exercises.

I'd like the designed courses that take me from ambiguous activities from day 1 and from day 2 reveal more information to reflect the missing in knowledge, incorrect practice and what need to be improve. The coursed designed on Mural very professional that not only help us to interaction more but also feasible to track the content

He is very dedicated and give me lots of new knowledge that I can apply to my scrum team.

Teacher provides many scenarios to interact with other members as in a scrum team, provide good techniques and insights for learning and practicing on defining definition of done and deliverying values.

Great program. Everything was well organized. The simulation bring us from a very basic way of thinking to advance.

I selected this course because I liked the idea of spreading the sessions over three days instead of having two full days. For me it worked really well as I could keep the focus without becoming too overwhelmed. Stuart is calm and welcoming. He applies the Scrum philosophy to the whole course - you are not expected to know or realize something right away, you are given the opportunity to reflect and improve your understanding in the next step. I definately got some of my thinking challenged during the course.

great course with a lot of good information and good knowledge to applied to my job

Stuart was very engaging. His method was practical and relatable.
