We ran another Certified ScrumMaster training course in Chicago.
The newest topic that has been emerging with increased regularity is Agile Contracts. How do we avoid the pressures of big waterfall contracting models in and increasingly aware agile client world. Our old methods of contracting and working are becoming irrelevant and clients are no longer buying into the big bang waterfall contracting model. You can’t wald in with your big in house methodology and expect clients to be amazed at how smart (overly complex) your process is.
Thank you for a wonderful 2 days together.

Doug
It was an excellent class with lots of good information to kick start w/ scrum process at work or non-work projects. There were not too many right/wrong or yes/no answer to many questions, but I guess that “adapt” is the KEY word here…
Thanks

Doug’s teaching and approach was a 5 star job. His ability to teach Scrum while addressing everyday project questions was outstanding.

Enjoyed the class & learned quite a bit. Discovered that I didn’t know as much as I thought & gained insight to things I didn’t understand completely.
Definitely worth the experience
