FIVE things to remember and consider before registering for this training:
1) It's IN PERSON (not remote or hybrid) at Hope High School. Remember what in person training was like in the before times? You must attend and participate in person. No Zoom and Not Hybrid!
2) It's OVER A WEEKEND (Saturday and Sunday). I don't usually run weekend training classes.... it's an option that some people LOVE but remember this is going to burn your weekend time as an investment in your future (smile).
3) It's an AWESOME VENUE where you can also see how Scrum and Agile is being used by the entire school district and at each of the schools by the administrators, teachers, and students in the classroom.
4) THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between Scrum at the "operations" level (leading a school and district) and "flipping the classroom" (see AgileInEducation.com for more information about that). THIS CSM training is Scrum that is used for district and school operations, projects, and understanding for teachers and administrators to use with the students to get on the same page with the kids!
5) While teachers and administrators will be participating, the registration for THIS CSM TRAINING IS OPEN TO ANYONE who is seeking the certification from the Scrum Alliance with me as the facilitator. It's always a great combination when people from education and industry get together. Amazingly, it's all about interactions between people and well... be ready to see what that really means!
Your CSM training experience with Michael Vizdos
This unique Certified Scrum Master Training (authorized by the Scrum Alliance) is about shifting your mindset and learning a new perspective.
We’ll get into the weeds and work through exercises designed to learn Scrum through hands-on simulations. By the time you have completed this two-day training, you will:
Experience what it is like to actually work on a Scrum Team and how to effectively create an environment for a high-performing team to thrive in the real world. Scrum is all about people.
Understand the important definition of DONE within a Sprint along with figuring out who is your real customer (so you can deliver outcomes they require!).
Interact with people of all experience levels and diverse professions, participate in many different simulations, and discuss real-world situations.
Have the chance to play the accountability of a Scrum Master and — guided by me — see what it is like to walk through some effective retrospective techniques.
Have some real, actionable outcomes you can put into place the next working day with the techniques you have learned.
Be more than prepared to pass the Scrum Alliance CSM assessment; however, this course is much more than a test-preparation class. It is interactive, requires some preparation, and your participation is expected.
