Boris Gloger has just spent another week with me doing Scrum Training in Midrand, Gauteng and in Cape Town. For the first time in South Africa we ran Product Owner training as a follow-on to the CSM class. This was well-received with 22 people receiving both CSM and CSPO certificates.

Overall in 2008 we have run 9 classes together in South Africa and Brazil with 177 participants including 132 CSM’s and 22 CSPO’s. 2009 looks to be a busy year too.

Are you interested in attending the required training to become a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) or Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)? These classes will be taught by one of the most experienced ScrumTrainers and Coaches and author of “Scrum – Produkte schnell und zuverlässig entwickeln”. Boris Gloger was trained and mentored directly by Ken Schwaber and Norm Kerth. He has practised Scrum since 2003 and is the longest-serving Certified Scrum Trainer after Ken himself.

Why a Certified ScrumMaster course?

The ScrumMaster is a leader and a change agent on a mission. His or her duty is to make a Scrum development team successful. Throughout this course you can experience how to professionally take up the role of a Change Agent using Scrum as your Swiss army knife.

The vision for this course is that you learn that working together can create outstanding results. This is why it includes lots of hands-on exercises.

During the CSM course we will teach you how to make a development team, a project or an organisation agile and successful.

Why a Certified Scrum Product Owner course?

The Scrum Product Owner must lead the project strategically, collaborate with customers and team on a daily basis, and manage the business value.

The Scrum Product Owner takes back the accountability from the traditional project manager for delivering the right solution to the customer and end-user.

The CSPO course will provide you with the core of skills to support this new and awesome responsibility.

Who should attend?

The CSM course is an ideal stepping stone into the Scrum world and can be attended by team members, project managers, team leaders, senior management etc. This also creates the foundation for a deep understanding of Scrum for experienced ScrumMasters. Even people who attended this class three times offer the feedback they can still learn a lot.

The CSPO conversion course follows on from the CSM training (which is a pre-requisite). It is intended for those already active in Scrum’s product owner role as well as managers, facilitators and coaches within organisations adopting Scrum.

A public training class offers significant benefits. You will work with people from different companies, you will share a lot of experiences, you will learn from different companies and you will get to know new people.

Prepare yourself for a roller coaster ride full of creativity and emotion. We promise: you will leave these courses with a new mindset and a new approach to work. Visit Boris’ blog at www.borisgloger.com for news, insights and more.
