Course

Why attend this particular course?

Specially designed as THREE HALF-DAY sessions to more easily fit your existing schedule while also aiding integration and retention of learning.

This course is different...

It isn't a series of group-based activities designed for almost anyone to cover the Events, Artefacts, etc, perhaps finishing with a fun game to make you feel good when it's time to complete a feedback form.

What makes this course so special?

It's both designed and facilitated only by our master-level coach with over 20 years of agile working and organisational change experience.

This allows us to provide a unique learning experience, far beyond the basic learning objectives of the course.

The whole course is based on the same principles and patterns that you're coming to learn. For example:

Throughout the entire first session, you'll experience using Scrum in an ideal, non-software environment.

Why is this important?

Whether you're new to Scrum or have been using it for years, the experience of using it to build something different, in an environment facilitated by one of the world's most experienced master-level coaches, creates the conditions for you to gain as many relevant insights as possible, whatever your current knowledge and experience.

Only a highly skilled and experienced coach and facilitator can host such an activity, allowing you and the group to gain as many of your own insights as possible while coaching you to even deeper levels of understanding and advancement of your skills and experience.

Trustpilot 5 Star Rating

"Great instructor. Stuart's engagement and techniques allow you to relate your learning (especially the simulations) to past experiences and enable you to realise the pitfalls you have been implementing and how you can remedy them."

Your Course Leader - Stuart Turner

Stuart Turner is the originator of the unique, fun and highly informative (and much copied) Scrum simulation. One of very few courses that uses a simulation early on, intentionally giving everyone a fidelitous experience of using Scrum and a shared context on which to build. The ordering of events in the course is deliberate, knowing experiential learning permits the deeper lessons and discoveries of the remainder of the course to be better understood, integrated and retained.

We'll experience how using the Scrum framework helps us discover more about our product, team and environment, and how we're working using the principles of transparency, inspection, and adaptation. Based on what we discover we'll adapt our product and working practices in the pursuit of improving outcomes.

Stuart was very engaging. His method was practical and relatable.

Truly insightful course with very many useful exercises and tips.

helpful and interactive by each of team members

Stuart was great at delivering a diverse experience across the 3 days. Found the practical on day 1 really ggod, albeit outside of comfort zone, but that was the intention. Day 2 and 3 was really informative but alot to digest. Otherwise great session.

Great course design and delivery!

Informative, instructive and insightful. Covers the mechanical, cultural and philosophical aspects of Scrum.

Overall great experience, got the basics, used a hands-on approach, got answers to the questions the group asked - on point.

As someone new to the world of Agile, Srum and the Product Owner role, this course gave me a great introduction to the role and how it sits within the scrum framework. I feel confident to take the next step in giving the role a go in my organisation.

The training, discussion and activities are interactive, we learned from our instructor and peers during the course. This will definitely help us in reviewing current practices in the organization and team, thus implementing improvement opportunities suggested during this training.

I think the simulation was excellent, and the few group activities, but most information was shared in files/murals to read in your own time. He spent longer than I would have liked complaining about how Agile is implemented badly in most organisations.
