Hello everybody!

I have been in the SW development industry for many years as a Project Manager.   I am relatively new in Scrum and Agile.   Soon, Im going to start a new, very complex and ambitious project, and the idea is tu use Scrum.    My concearn in this moment is to have a very good training support for me and my team.   My problem is that in my country (Mexico) there are no courses held by scrum.org, and the training offered by Scrum Alliance are very expensive, and their timeframes does not adjust with ours.    The other choice that Im looking for is Scrum Study.    They have a lot of vendors in my country, that offer courses in flexible timeframes and are a lot more cheaper.   I am not intereseted in certifications..... Certifications does not do the work, people do.   So my interest is to have a very good training basis for me and my team, in order to deliver the best results for this project.    What recomendations can you give me?

 

Thanks!

 

Alberto

Alberto, we do have classes running in Mexico and are always adding more so keep checking this list.  Additionally if you are looking to train your team, we have private classes that can be held just for your team or if it is a small number we can use that as a reason to start a new public class.

Alberto, whatever path you choose, my advice is to avoid ScrumStudy.   They will likely do more harm to your Scrum aspirations than help.
