The story aims to showcase the transformative power of Agile and Scrum in leadership and team management within the tech industry. It's inspired by real-world scenarios where leaders face challenges in project management and team dynamics. The intent is to provide a relatable and inspiring narrative that underscores the value of specialized Scrum training. Key Highlights: James's journey from facing leadership challenges to embracing Agile training. The impact of the APS course with Minecraft in providing practical, hands-on experience in Scrum. James's growth, leading to improved team dynamics and project success at Innovatech (fictive company name)

Here are my observations made after teaching Scrum using Minecraft Education for approximately 3 years. Minecraft is used to create a world (metaverse?) in which students are asked to develop a product. The immersive nature of the platform replicates the workplace and invites students into reflection how are they approaching work as an individual and as a team.

Facing the COVID-19 pandemic, we are all staying home for the safety of our people. This is a hard time for all of us. While classes are re-scheduled in the Fall, some of us Scrum trainers are refocusing our energy to help the household while others are investigating how to conduct interactive online training.

I am learning awesome things that can relate to our world of “Agile” and “Product Ownership.”

I’m currently helping a small software shop within a government organization where multiple Scrum Teams are serving the same cause. They are building one product that has several sub-systems, which sometimes need to be integrated.
