• Advanced Certified Scrum Master (A-CSM) Training 

    You build out your techniques for supporting the development team, product owner, and organization on their journey to perfect Scrum (which, of course, no one ever achieves) as a servant leader. You will develop personally and have even more fun in your Scrum Master work in the future.

  • Profitability for your competitiveness

    Focus initially on the core processes that have the greatest impact on your competitiveness, such as product development, production or sales, and optimize these in a targeted manner.

    Pros and cons of aligning (approximately normalizing) Story Points If you have many teams working together on the same ART Product Backlog, it can help if they have an aligned definition of ‘1’. This allows the teams to discuss size across teams. For example, when working together on a common Feature, or when passing a Story from one team to another.

  • A tricky slide about Story Points and Capacity in SAFe® – and how to get it right.

    This is based on several assumptions: The length of an Iteration/Sprint is 2 weeks (which leaves us with 10 working days); 10% of our time is spent on Iteration/Sprint events (as suggested in the Scrum Guide); 10% of our time is spent on Product Backlog Refinement (as suggested in earlier versions of the Scrum Guide); Our reference Story, which represents “1” Story Point, takes about half a day to
