Welcome!

We’re looking forward to hosting you at LitheSpeed’s Advanced ScrumMaster class!  

This class is meant to expand your coaching toolkit and provide personalized guidance on how to address some of your thorniest agile problems.  Regardless of your level of experience you should learn something new here; from the instructor, from the experience or from your peers.  We ask that you do just a bit of preparation so that we can customize the experience to you. 

Pre-Class Assignments

We ask that you do two quick things by way of preparation for class.  These should take less than half an hour in total:

1.     Fill out this Persona template. In it you will provide some details about yourself, what you’re hoping to achieve and some of your travails as a ScrumMaster, and we will use this information across several exercises to tune the class to your situation. If you don’t have access to a printer, just sketch this on a paper!

2.     Watch this video and consider which conductors you most resemble in your current role as a ScrumMaster or agile coach, and what this means.
