Posted On September 3, 2013 8:16 pm By Ilan

“We need help! This whole Scrum thing doesn’t seem to be working anymore! Our stakeholders are putting immense pressure on our Product Owner to keep changing direction mid-Sprint. Even though our ScrumMaster is the size of a prop he is finding it hard to keep the pressure off our poor PO who is likely to […]

Metrics to measure your Scrum adoption and Scrum progress

I sometimes hear industry colleagues comment that their project team is, “About 85% agile” or they might say something like, “We are using Scrum to about 50% capacity.

Scrum Master - Delivery Lead and Coach at SAI Global   If I want to summarize my feedback, I can simply say that Colin and Ilan know very well what they are talking about and know very well how to explain it – they managed to keep their audience engaged throughout their workshop while bringing added value, useful information and a bit of fun. The attendees’ Scrum experience ranged from people who only heard of term to professionals that have been practicing for many years – and the fact, that the delivered content and the delivery approach satisfied everyone (in my opinion), is what makes both Ilan and Colin a great tag team [of trainers :)]. I would not think twice before recommending their courses to a friend or a colleague.

Account Manager - Toyota   Ilan delivered a Scrum Master Training course which I attended. I had never been trained in this area, and my business experience is not in the IT field. Ilan delivered the course as an obvious expert in the area of Scrum, imparted information in a professional and effective way and really fostered my learning requirements. I finished the course successfully and have been able to make a real impact at my workplace with these new skills.
