AgileDad - Long

Course Introduction:

Trainers and teachers all over the world have created a variety of teaching styles and techniques. This ACS-CF learning session and workshop promises to be like no other you have ever attended. Prior students in various sessions have gone as far as to say this class is life changing. (Check out my LinkedIn Profile ) While I cannot promise this workshop will change your life, here is what I can promise:

   

  1. While this class is based on the Scrum Framework within the Agile Landscape, the teachings are not bound or limited to theory. We dig deep in class and help people solve pressing problems and issues they are facing.
     
  2. If your only goal for taking the class is to pass the test, or receive a certificate, this class is not for you. While my class average test score sits near the very top of all trainers, this is not our primary goal. Our primary goal is to place you in first person scenarios where you can learn how to really execute in your position, not just recall what the book says you should do. You will leave with new tools to help you perform your job better.
     
  3. Scrum is not all about software anymore, nor is it an all or nothing prospect. This class will point out real world examples of how well known organizations from startup to enterprise have adopted Scrum and witnessed dramatic incremental changes. While software is still a very important industry where Scrum can be applied, many organizations are finding ways to apply this method throughout their organization. This is not a Powerpoint lecture type training and does require active participation from each attendee.

As for formality, this experience will include:

  • A complete 2 day classroom session eligible for 16 PDU’s 
  • A two year membership to the Scrum Alliance
  • Eligibility to take the online test and all fees are all included as part of this session
  • A complete guide/workbook with over 40 pages of reference materials & exercises

Lucien Campillo

Experienced Leader, Project Manager, and Veteran

I had the opportunity to watch Lee present as our Keynote Speaker for the Tampa Bay PMI Chapter's annual symposium. His presentation was inspiring, thought-provoking and relevant. I have been to many conferences over the years and seen literally hundreds of Keynote speakers and Lee was absolutely one of the best. He spoke from the heart, sharing his journey and gave insight to not just project management but for dealing with people. You rarely get such a blend where one minute you are inspired and the next minute you are feverishly writing notes down to apply to your career. Highly recommend his products. I look forward to working with him in the future.

Lee is such an amazing person with a great spirit and a heart for people. I attended his ScrumMaster class, and I must say that his passion for the topic and his knowledge of Scrum is the best in the industry. His class was highly interactive, life changing, and I came out of the class knowing a lot more than expected.

I took A-CSPO Certification class with Lee last week and I must say, it was the best learning experience for me so far. His teaching style is filled with humor, in-class activities, real-life examples, and his life experiences that help you understand any complex concepts easily.

Lee is truly a servant leader! He helped me transform Agile and Scrum into principles applicable to my background and I learned more in two days than I have in any other professional development course. His patience and anecdotes left me wanting to learn more. You will gain valuable insights from his experience and walk out of the class filled with confidence in yourself, like I did.
