Training is a game changer

Training is where teams discover a new way of working and learn how to increase their skills.  This is where individuals can ask the difficult questions and challenge their way of thinking.  The courseware offered by Scrum.org is the best in the industry, because it is challenging, and it is consistent.  

​Here are what people are saying about classes taught by Mary:

  • Excellent Course!
  • Prior to this course a lot of what we were doing felt much more like a "Just do as I say, no problems here at all!" sort of setup, but during the training we had a moment where they acknowledged "This is going to be a shift, there will be bumpy roads, we understand it's not all sunshine" and that helped. I didn't feel invisible so much after that.
  • I thought after the first day I had enough to take back with me and start Scrum Process.  I was wrong.  The 2nd day was good to see how much better we worked together! 

Is Agile the right approach?

An agile approach flips the iron triangle on its head.  Quality, cost and schedule are fixed, leaving only features left to flex.  This results in incremental delivery early and often, which speeds up feedback, increases learning and delivers a better product.  Scrum works best in complex environments where more is unknown than known.  Waterfall works best when more is known than unknown.  This is because Agile unleashes the creativity of individuals and provides teams with a better, more humane way of working which respects individual contributions and delivers better value to the customer. 

What is Scrum?

Scrum, the most popular Agile framework, exposes problems and encourages teams to solve them by defining specific events, accountabilities and artifacts for teams to engage with.  Teams who use Scrum as it is designed will continuously improve their way of working together and will always focus on the highest value work for their customer.  I am often asked, can Scrum be used when you have hard deadlines?  The answer is absolutely!  Using the Scrum framework will increase your chances of meeting difficult deadlines by encouraging teams to prioritize the highest value work first.
