I’ve just attended a training session on the Scrum method, provided by aforementioned Craig.
The objective of the session was to get a Certification as a ScrumMaster.
Not being on of the most senior consultants, I had to trade 2 days of holidays (we have plenty of those over here anyway). But I dare say that they were well spent. Though I have not received confirmation of whether I did achieve the certification level (not clear how that happens), I am now much better aware of what Agile methods really stand for.
And I mean ‘stand for’ literally: in Craig’s words, ‘in Scrum, you have to stand for its values. Even if that means losing your job.’
