This class has been the best traning I have had for ages.
The content was excellent with all the examples and exercises.
It keep me focus on the whole 2 days.
Roland Flemm's presentation and communication skills should be also teached.
He makes you relax while speaking and looks like Tony Stark :D
So if you mix these two, the content and the man, you get a two day long journey about Scrum.
I will definately recommend to anyone who would like to know what is Scrum!

Pure Perfection
Making your retrospectives as short as possible is not a good idea. The retrospective is a key inspection moment that should be carefully facilitated by the Scrum Master.
A solid retrospective session carries the team through a series of phases:
check-in,
re-living the sprint,
identifying problems and opportunities,
searching for root causes,
brainstorming solutions,
choosing improvement experiments,
assigning tasks,
closure.
The retrospective time-box is 1,5 hours for a two week Sprint. Fitting all that work in the allocated time-box is quite a challenge!

Urgent items
There might be urgent changes popping up during the Sprint. How do we deal with them?
How does your team handle mid-sprint changes?
Do you add them to the Sprint and work harder? (What does that mean for the planning you did?)
Do you refuse to take them in, like Wolmoed suggests? (What does that do to our flexibility?)
Do you work with the PO to estimate the new items and see which items in the Sprint can be replaced? (And possibly also investigate in the retrospective what made these items emerge!)
Self-Organization
Things to think about:
What do you think of this interpretation of self-organization?
What behavior do you observe from Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Team members, management (and maybe yourself) that hinders self-organization?
