    What is this? I always get emails for training on this Agile Scrum thing. Ive never come across it in my work.

    • Apparently this is the next big thing

  • Not sure why you need a training provider for this, they're software development models used a lot in team based software engineering. Scrum is an adaption of Agile, many Google engineering teams use it.

  • Try axis agile. They seem pretty good.

    • Seems the provider to go to

  • If anyone knows a bit about it, can I please ask you to shed some light on just "what this is". I have a limited working knowledge of this method to operate.

    I understand it's got something to do with organisational behaviours, promoting the use of post-it notes and really leveraging of team synergies.

    I want to know more but anything I found on Google was not holistic enough.

    Thanks for the post OP - I too would like to know more.

      As I mentioned earlier, these are in fact software development models. It seems like due to the tech buzz some have marketed it out for general business team use.

      This is a pretty good abstraction for Scrum. A good general takeaway from the Scrum model is the daily regular meetings. Short sweet and purposeful meetings within the team at the start of the work day, detailing what they have achieved in the last 24 hours, what they plan to achieve and what they plan to achieve within the next 24 hours. This really helps the Scrum Master get a general idea of the team's progress and whether anyone in the team needs support, etc.

        Thankyou for that. It really helped.

  • I've used both these companies and their trainers are quite good.

    Software Education
    Context matters

    If you want to just get certified and are happy to self study SCRUM.ORG. It's much cheaper.

    There's a major misconception that SCRUM is a software development model it's not. I've used it in teams that do policy, business cases and training related work.

      I disagree, Scrum has originated from software development. Of course the scrum framework can be adapted to many situations, but the main focus is still product development.

      Even the site you link, lists a reference to an interview with the co-creator Ken Schwaber that indicates Scrum as an alternative way of approaching software development:

      From the Article Linked from scrum.org:

      Ken, you've been in Scrum for long time; well over ten years. It's a really different way of looking at software development. What triggered your mind, in those early days, to shift from a predictive approach to an empirical approach?

      • but the main focus is still product development.

        Scrum guide was updated last year to broaden the use of scrum in many contexts.
        http://www.scrumguides.org/scrum-guide.html#uses

        Scrum has been used to develop software, hardware, embedded software, networks of interacting function, autonomous vehicles, schools, government, marketing, managing the operation of organizations and almost everything we use in our daily lives, as individuals and societies.

        OP The PSM training course is better than the CSM course in my opinion.

  • I would like to highly recommend Rowan Bunning's training see Scrum with style. I enjoyed it as it was highly interactive and full of practical tips.

    • For once i thought the link will be redirected to 'somewhere with style'
