by Tobias Mayer and Conscires Agile Practices

Tobias used context maps and small groups to help each participant gain an in depth

understanding.

Our June Training held in Irvine was taught by, Tobias Mayer, Creative Director at Scrum Alliance and Certified Scrum Trainer. The training was run on a

interactive basis allowing everyone to become fully involved with Scrum and Agile principles. The two day training focused on hands on introduction to Scrum values, principles and practices. Tobias made the class interactive by actively engaging participants. He used the principles and values of Agile and Scrum in order to provide extensive training. His hands on approach gave participants an opportunity to discuss and understand the key topics through the usage of the task board, visualized maps, and by discussing agile principles within their small groups. Each day

was comprised with eight sprints each 90-100 minutes long, where stories from the task board were completed during each sprint. Tobias started with a backlog for the two days of training. As each story was picked for sprints participants learned how to apply Agile practices first hand. As each story was

applied tasks, each task was visually moved across the board from Task to Do, Work in Progress, and Done. This is all shown on the Task Board. As the course progressed Tobias introduced the importance of prioritizing based on business value to the participants by involving them in prioritizing and adding new stories to be covered in the class. Each class picked a vision statement and from their prioritized their stories and task to be completed first. Every training is slightly different and unique through its own priorities; however, Tobias makes sure each participant gains an a in depth understanding of Agile and Scrum principles, through his interactive approach.

This June training was a great success and our next one is

planned for August 21-22.
