Introduction
Two years ago, Mat Walker ( http://www.matwalker.co.uk/ ) organised a very popular and very successful Agile Certified Scrum Master course in Brighton for a reduced cost for freelancers and small companies. The course was run by Nigel Baker of Agile Bear ( http://www.agilebear.com/ ) who again has kindly agreed to lead the course at a fraction of the normal costs.
Booking and Costs
The cost for the course is as follows and includes certification fees:
• Concession Rate [1] - £350
• Business Rate [2] - £850
[1] Loosely defined as freelancers, contractors, startups, NGOs, charities, micro businesses. Basically the sort of people who couldn't normally afford to pay for training courses. If you're unclear as to whether you qualify for a concession rate, email me. ( jo.summers@gmail.com )
[2] Everyone else!
There are 15 places available for the course. (8 Concessions and 7 Business tickets)
The ticketing system Eventbrite uses credit card payments. If you'd prefer to pay by some other method then email me
This course is not for profit, the fees pay for the trainers' time, certification fees and expenses. I’ve tried to keep the overheads as low as possible in order to make the course as affordable as possible to everyone. For comparison the going rate for this course in London is £1000+VAT.
Course Content
Scrum is an iterative, incremental process for developing any product or managing any work.The industry-recognised Certified ScrumMaster Training is the perfect building block to educate and certify your people. Through exercises and peer discussions, attendees realise how much they rely on habits that lower productivity, quality, and return on investment. They also get to experience first-hand how a change to Scrum practices works and feels.Through a mixture of class room study, exercises, pair discussions and real-world trainer experiences, an attendee will learn how a Scrum project works and how to facilitate and coach a Scrum project.
Techniques we will investigate include Vision Creation, the use of the Product Backlog, Backlog Formatting Techniques, Story Point Estimation, and how to use this to formulate a release plan.We’ll learn about how Sprint Backlogs (the lower level of planning in Scrum) can work and we’ll experience it for ourselves in a case study. Many people struggle to get the Daily Scrum ceremony working effectively, but you won’t - after hearing some primers for helping you maximize the benefit for the team from this key principle.You will experience how to coach your team through planning and through the powerful inspect and adapt technique of retrospectives. How to report this information in a clear and simple format is the key objective of Burndown Charts - which we’ll discuss in depth. Finally, you will discover our learning in how to apply Scrum to an enterprise environment. Scaling and distribution will be the key areas of investigation in this final session.

FAQ
Do I need to do any prep before the course?
I’ll send out the course material before the course starts for you to read. If you are not familiar with the Agile project management methodology then I suggest you do a bit of background reading ahead of the course.
What do I need to bring to the course?
Pens and paper to take notes.
Is Lunch provided?
In order to keep the costs as low as possible lunch is not provided.
Can you help me find funding for the course?
I can’t but if you find someone who will help please pass the details to me and I’ll tell other people.
Any further questions?
If you have any questions please feel free to drop me an email ( jo.summers@gmail.com ) or give me a call - 07816555645
