Wat deelnemers zeggen/
Mijn verwachtingen voor deze Scrum training waren erg hoog op basis van referenties. Deze verwachtingen zijn meer dan waar gemaakt! Absoluut geen standaard training maar tailored op de wensen van de groep waarbij de Scrum methodiek ingezet wordt om Scrum uit te leggen. Echt een aanrader.
Meest waardevol waren discussie en sparren over de cases waarbij je in een niet optimale scrum situatie moet werken, bijv te weinig aandacht van de product owner, mensen op diverse locaties, onvoorziene incidenten, integratie met prince2, etc.
Pieter Hendrikx - TheNextview Meer...Deze training is helaas vol.
Onze trainingen hebben maximaal 20 deelnemers. Een Scrum training is interactief, met veel oefening, Agile Games en aandacht voor de individuele vragen.
We geloven niet in Scrum trainingen met hele grote groepen. Kijk voor een volgende training op overige trainingen.
