BECOMING A GREAT SCRUMMASTER
You are a ScrumMaster or aspiring ScrumMaster who wants to unleash your teams in this new Agile world!

How do you facilitate the team’s growth through their events? How do you coach them to self organization and reach high-performance? What about Agile processes? And where does project management fit in?

You will then apply these new learnings and techniques with your teams between sessions in the real world. Professional coaches will guide you through your journey through individual coaching.
Go from Good to Great.
