ScrumMaster Clinic March 2018 (pm)
Event Information
Description
A health check for newly practicing ScrumMasters. The clinic is a place to come to share your struggles, offer ideas, listen and learn, and become rejuvenated in your work.
Date and Time
There are two clinics on 6th March, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is the registration page for the afternoon clinic, 2 pm to 5 pm. For the morning clinic please click here. Please sign up for only one clinic, not both.
Structure
There is no set agenda, rather each clinic will be structured around the current needs of the participants. Through the use of various learning techniques, including interactive exercise, role-play, pair dialog and whole group conversation specific issues will be explored, and resolutions sought.
Participation
The ScrumMaster Clinic is open to any practicing ScrumMaster, certified or not, and to all those that have taken the CSM or PSM workshop but are not yet in a position to practice the craft.
These clinics are offered as a free service. We supply tea, coffee, pastries, fruit and other snacks; there are minor admin costs, and some travel expenses for the facilitators. To cover these costs we ask that you make a voluntary donation, either electronically when you sign up, or in cash on the day. Thank you.
Places are limited to twelve per clinic, so please consider your registration a commitment to attend.
Facilitation
The sessions will be facilitated by Tobias Mayer and colleagues. All of us are experienced ScrumMasters, coaches or facilitators. Glenn Bowering will be in attendance for the March clinics. Watch this space for updates.
Preparation
Becoming a good ScrumMaster requires discipline and a continuous search for self-improvement. It will greatly help your journey to read one or both of the following papers before attending. Doing so will help clarify your purpose and focus your needs.

The ScrumMaster Role by the LeSS team
If you are interested in pursuing the Scrum Alliance Advanced ScrumMaster (A-CSM) certification please also familiarise yourself with the Advanced CSM program, and begin to consider how you'd like to meet them. Please note that these learning objectives are still subject to change as the program evolves.
Outcome
If all goes well you'll return to work invigorated, and buzzing with new ideas and new hope. Will you have answers? Probably not. But it's almost certain you will have better questions.
