Agile and Scrum are becoming standard hiring requirements... which presents the dilemma of you have to have experience to get experience. Agile and Scrum are really, really hard to understand from a book, website, or online resource. You have to be on a team that does it this way with real, live people you can talk to and collaborate with to learn how to do it. But if your company isn't running this process and you can't apply what you learn in a real world scenario, how do you learn Agile and Scrum?

Scrum Club seeks to shortcut the chicken and egg dilemma by organizing fun events and projects where professionals can come and spend a few hours to build their skills and network, then use those hours to count towards certification. http://scrumclub.org
