PSK - Virtual Course
Thank you so much Daniel and Venkatesh for organizing this training. I am glad that I grabbed this golden opportunity to take this training with Daniel. Concepts of flow were explained in a seamless way, which has been my greatest learning over the duration of this course.
I am excited to utilize the metrics related to flow as I see many opportunities of implementing Scrum with Kanban. With the current situation of pandemic, this learning experience will be always memorable to me!
Thanks again!

Daniel Vacanti is THE perfect PSK I (Professional Scrum with Kanban) trainer.
My experience with Daniel Vacanti, in partnership with training provider tryScrum, India has been absolutely delightful!
I honestly feared that the lack of human interaction - imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic - would have prevented me to take full advantage from the intense remote training.
The team led by Venkatesh Rajamani was indeed capable to arrange an exquisite online experience (there is always space for improvement, but they did great).
Daniel Vacanti is not only (obviously) expert and highly accountable about Scrum with Kanban, but an awesome and skilled Trainer - sometimes he managed even to be our Coach - with the "magic power" of making actually complicated matters straightforward and easy to understand.
I strongly recommend this training, especially if Daniel Vacanti is personally involved in it.
Scrum on!
(with Kanban practices built-in 😉)

Venkat also actively assisted us with our burning questions, and patiently coaching us on how to be a better Scrum Master!

The course takes you through various leadership. attributes that will require introspection and change The course teacher was very knowledgeable about the subject matter.

Unfortunately, the discussions through the class sessions was mostly concentrated on entrepreneurship handling and very less time on corporate level issues. The break out session were well managed and topics were laid out well. Time

Venkatesh is one of the best trainer that I have come across. PSM II training class by Venkatesh is worth every moment. He is excellent in bringing out the trainee's best scrum skills to the forum. His class was supported by lot of case-studies and real world scenarios with zero Power Point presentation. If you really want to understand scrum in purist and practical ways, you would need to attend his session.

PSK - Virtual Course
Thank you so much Daniel and Venkatesh for organizing this training. I am glad that I grabbed this golden opportunity to take this training with Daniel. Concepts of flow were explained in a seamless way, which has been my greatest learning over the duration of this course.
I am excited to utilize the metrics related to flow as I see many opportunities of implementing Scrum with Kanban. With the current situation of pandemic, this learning experience will be always memorable to me!
Thanks again!

Daniel Vacanti is THE perfect PSK I (Professional Scrum with Kanban) trainer.
My experience with Daniel Vacanti, in partnership with training provider tryScrum, India has been absolutely delightful!
I honestly feared that the lack of human interaction - imposed by the Covid-19 Pandemic - would have prevented me to take full advantage from the intense remote training.
The team led by Venkatesh Rajamani was indeed capable to arrange an exquisite online experience (there is always space for improvement, but they did great).
Daniel Vacanti is not only (obviously) expert and highly accountable about Scrum with Kanban, but an awesome and skilled Trainer - sometimes he managed even to be our Coach - with the "magic power" of making actually complicated matters straightforward and easy to understand.
I strongly recommend this training, especially if Daniel Vacanti is personally involved in it.
Scrum on!
(with Kanban practices built-in 😉)

I attended PSM II class taught by Venkatesh Rajamani from tryScrum.com.
During the class, we have all participants continuously shared their expertise and experiences as Scrum Master, we discussed real-life scenarios, challenges and our strategies to mitigate those situations.
Venkat also actively assisted us with our burning questions, and patiently coaching us on how to be a better Scrum Master!
If you are considering PSM II class, I strongly recommend you to go with tryScrum.com - they know what they are doing and very passionate about it!

The course is massively helpful to mid and upper level management who are into agile project management
The course is massively helpful to colleagues who are in middle to upper management, who are working to implement the Agile strategy. The course takes you through various leadership. attributes that will require introspection and change The course teacher was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The class of 12 odd ppl were mostly corporate and few entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the discussions through the class sessions was mostly concentrated on entrepreneurship handling and very less time on corporate level issues. The break out session were well managed and topics were laid out well. Time

Such a wonderful trainer !
Venkatesh is one of the best trainer that I have come across. PSM II training class by Venkatesh is worth every moment. He is excellent in bringing out the trainee's best scrum skills to the forum. His class was supported by lot of case-studies and real world scenarios with zero Power Point presentation. If you really want to understand scrum in purist and practical ways, you would need to attend his session.

Can you be Agile with fixed-bid Projects? It can be a challenging leadership problem and problematic to resolve. However, there is no direct and clear answer to the query. For clearing the dilemma, I have to recall the elementary difference between a project mindset and a product mindset.

Venkatesh Rajamani
Myth 1 – Scrum is a Methodology
To bust this first myth, I would prefer to differentiate between the concepts of methodology and framework.
Methodology vs. Framework
A specific methodology is a well-defined set of principles, concepts, tools, and associated practices that guide processes to meet a focused goal. The methodology is fundamentally more prescriptive. On the other hand, a framework is a flexible yet incomplete structure that leaves space for different practices and related tools requisite for the overall process. Thus, a framework is, practically, less prescriptive.
Source: wiki
People often refer to Scrum as Methodology.
From a practical point of view, Scrum is not a methodology, neither by definition. Instead, Scrum focuses on the scientific implementation of empiricism. As a result, it strikes the chord between well-defined principles and associated practices in a balanced manner.
Self-Managing teams and their dedicated, collective intelligence form the basis of Scrum. The teams solve varieties of complex problems through a series of adaptive solutions.
Myth 2 – Agile is equivalent to Scrum
50% of people I interact with use Agile and Scrum interchangeably. When they say something like 'We are performing or doing Agile', they mean they are doing Scrum. On a practical note, these two things are not the same.
Scrum is invariably a technical, lightweight framework. It strategically helps teams and organisations generate value via adaptive solutions suitable for solving complex problems.
Agile covers a larger arena with a well-defined set of values, concepts and principles. Scrum does fall under the expansive umbrella of Agile, but there are many other concepts like it.
In addition, implementing Scrum doesn't mean you are Agile. To become agile, developing an agile mindset is extremely important. Implementing Scrum doesn't guarantee that you would become Agile but certainly helps build habits that can enhance Agility.
Myth 3 – Cross Functionality means each team member should perform every task
A cross-functional team is an efficient group of people who have a clear goal, representing various disciplines under the concerned organisation.
The team's combined efforts are meant to add value to the process. Scrum Teams are, by nature, cross-functional. This does not mean every team member would display every kind of skill. It means the cross-functional attribute of the Scrum Team would benefit the group and organisation from an overall perspective. Read More >>

One frequent question that I often get from candidates that I train is - Venkatesh, what is the career path of a Scrum Master? I am a Scrum Master now. How can I build my career to the next level?
