Executive Agility Consulting - X-Agility

Professional Scrum with User Experience Unifying the Team to Deliver Value Together Professional Scrum with User Experience™ (PSU) is a hands-on, activity-based course where students experience how Scrum and User Experience (UX) align and integrate to create cross-functional teams that connect more closely with end users and customers, ultimately delivering more value and improving outcomes. By working together in a dual-track agile process, members of the Scrum Team can work more effectively to balance discovery work and delivery work. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum with User Experience I certification assessment (PSU I). Course Overview In this 14-16 hours* class, students will leverage an ongoing case study to apply techniques learned throughout the class and prepare to return what they learn to their workplace. This course is designed for Product Owners and Scrum Masters to enable them to incorporate better design, research, and learning into their Scrum process. Lean UX techniques focus the team toward customer-centric design and discovery. Scrum focuses the team on rapid delivery and customer feedback. By combining Lean UX and Scrum, teams learn how to drive the design and delivery in short, iterative cycles to assess what works best for the business and the user. Leveraging Lean UX techniques, the course takes core design and research activities, illustrating how they come together with development and delivery. Attendees explore how these activities fit into a dual-track agile process (Design and Development) where cross-functional teams can work together to explore, experiment, and deliver value-based outcomes. This course was created together with Jeff Gothelf and Joshua Seiden, the authors of the book Lean UX, leveraging their expertise and knowledge. The goal of working together is to help students learn the truth about many of the myths that exist when it comes to bringing together design and development activities and how to overcome the challenges that come with this integrated team approach. View the different Focus Areas covered within this class and others. Who Should Attend? Scrum Masters and Product Owners will learn how to integrate the UX specialty with what they already know about the power of self-organizing cross-functional teams. This will enable them to help Developers to learn about the customer, plan learning/discovery/design work, and still deliver a “Done” increment each Sprint. In addition, Scrum Masters will learn how to incorporate product discovery techniques into Sprints and how to balance the product discovery work with the product delivery work, while Product Owners will learn product discovery techniques that User Experience Designers use to understand the needs of the user better. UX Professionals struggling to integrate on a Scrum Team will learn how to work more effectively inside Scrum, managing work in Sprints and visualizing it in the Product Backlog. People who have learned about Lean UX and want to learn how to integrate those concepts into Professional Scrum working together in a unified Scrum Team. Course Learning Objectives Gain a common understanding of what is meant by Professional Scrum Dispel many myths about User Experience and its relationship to Agile and Scrum Experience how the UX mindset and the Scrum framework complement, align and integrate Learn the advantages of thinking of work as problems to solve, and the Business Problem Statement’s role in this Understand how the Scrum Team can connect more closely with end users and customers Understand how “easily” and “quickly” we can do product development and include UX Learn the advantages of thinking of work as problems to solve and how Business Problem Statements can frame the discussion Learn common patterns for employing UX practices within a Sprint and within a cross-functional team that includes UX Professionals Learn how to plan and balance both discovery and delivery work Leave with some UX techniques that can be accomplished within the Scrum Team Understand how anyone on the Scrum Team can support UX practices in support of the product Focus on outcomes and impacts over outputs Embrace the need to release and use measurements to validate outcomes Realize the importance of incorporating UX work as part of the Product Backlog Learn the value of testing hypotheses with experiments Understand how to design experiments to be as low-cost, low-risk as possible, and how to make them “ride the Truth Curve” as you increase investment Professional Scrum Certification All participants completing the Professional Scrum with User Experience course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum with User Experience I (PSU I) certification assessment. PSU class participants who attempt the PSU I assessment within 14 days of the class and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. Why Scrum.org?

When offered as a Live Virtual Class, the course may be broken up into more, shorter days, sometimes consecutive, sometimes one week apart. It's not just about Reviews & Ratings Reviews & ratings are limited by nature. John needs to understand if the learning made a real difference back in the office. So, John likes to check in 12-18 months later. He sees a pattern of improvement and regularly gets pleasant vibes from successful agility inspired by ideas from the training. For example, see this experience report. John's Scrum+Kanban Nexus+ case studies can be found at https://www.valueglide.com/blog/nexus-nexus-and-scrum.org-certifications. John is grateful to be part of Marshall Goldsmith's #payitforward campaign and, in so doing, offers free coaching/mentoring/co-training to a selection of potential agility chefs. Marshall Goldsmith taught John in Salt Lake City in February 2018. All of John's workshops #payitforward Marshall Goldsmith content, including Marshall's advice to John himself. Clients John's client list (directly or indirectly) includes Japanese Tobacco International, TUI, Lilbit, digital2DNA, Shell, BP, Barclaycard, Vocalink Mastercard, Centrica, the Musgrave Group, RR Donnelley, DELL, Nordic Aviation Services, 84.51, Intralinks, PaySafe, Vodafone, Ericsson, NASA, and Sky. Free assessment readiness call(s) Assessment preparation tends not to be covered in the workshop. The workshop focuses on attendees getting ready to apply new skills back at work immediately after the workshop. There is an expectation that attendees will attend free post-workshop Zoom calls and watch recordings of their group (or previous groups) doing tough practice tests, sometimes including John Coleman's own practice tests, which address the same learning outcomes, albeit from a different angle. John expects attendees to attend the calls, as assessment preparation does not scale on a 1:1 basis. Signing up for this workshop is effectively signing up to attend these calls. Co-trainers Sometimes, John Coleman will have a trusted co-trainer to give a helping hand, someone who is already qualified or who is building up experience. Terms & conditions If Live Virtual Each segment is 60-75 mins long with 15-30 min breaks. No recording of the workshop to improve openness. The workshop size is limited to 20 attendees. Workshop attendees will use Zoom/Teams, Mural, Miro, and John's physical flipcharts. Rules to follow: cameras on mics on - let's avoid delayed interventions be on time for every segment no meetings/phone-calls/emails during the active segments be self-aware and conscious of the needs of others to have their say no hijacking of the agenda; there is time after the official end of each session for additional questions. If in-person Classes are usually small, and even if not, John Coleman uses techniques that make a large class run very well, to a limit. John Coleman does not train class sizes over his operational limit so attendees can rightly get the full benefit of his classes. If you have specific requirements, e.g., you require a free place for an assistant, you require wheelchair accessible venue/room set-up etc., please let John Coleman know in advance via john@orderlydisruption.com. The delivery content combines slides, flip charts, and exercises. The focus is more on flip charts and exercises. The approach is a combination of experiential training and Training From The Back of The Room, regardless of the training course, while sticking to the Scrum.org learning objectives. Some topics could be completely outside the scope of the training class. To that end, some topics may need to be "parked". Best efforts are made to address "parked" topics during the workshop and/or subsequent video conference calls. Location The location is not 100% confirmed, it is an approximate location. The location cannot be finally booked until final numbers are known. Please only book travel one week in advance and use low-commitment accommodation bookings that allow cancellation 24 hours in advance without charges. Most accommodation booking websites allow 24-hour cancellation in advance, please select that option. Please book travel at the last responsible moment (one week to go, confirming with John Coleman at john@orderlydisruption.com). For example, for flights, consider using low-cost booking services such as Skyscanner or Kayak. Payment, fees & cancellation Payment in advance is required; there are no exceptions. For example, all documentation requirements for invoice payment by the training date must be declared immediately. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. Normally a minimum quorum is recommended for this class to proceed, but we always proceed once people book. We find ways to make it work well. It's highly unusual for courses to get canceled. Some classes require a minimum number of attendees. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. You may cancel up to the specified online ticketing deadline, and if so, depending on the payment engine/approach, the refund could have deductions for bank transfer fees. You may postpone your ticket with a minimum of three business days' notice; thereafter, your lack of attendance at the booked date will be treated as a cancellation with zero refund (due to planning & venue costs for class numbers). Best efforts would be made to fit you into a later workshop. Your notice period for a refund is rescinded by a postponement. Electronic manuals and Scrum.org assessment fees are included. Physical manuals are not provided. Ways to pay Currency exchange and sales tax (or VAT, GST) UK VAT only applies to orders from the UK; VAT does not apply outside the UK.

Professional Scrum with User Experience (PSU)- GUARANTEED TO RUN

Learn Professional Scrum and How to be a Better Scrum Master Professional Scrum Master™ (PSM) is an interactive, activity-based course where students gain a strong understanding of Professional Scrum and the role of the Scrum Master. Through a combination of discussion and exercises, students develop a deep understanding of the underlying principles of Scrum and the Agile mindset while learning the practices applied by successful Scrum Teams. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognised Professional Scrum Master I(PSM I) certification exam.

The result is an engaging, enjoyable learning experience where students gain a deep understanding of Scrum theory and principles, the Scrum Master accountabilities, and why each element of the Scrum framework is important. Students leave this course with an appreciation for Professional Scrum, the agile mindset, and how to deal with common myths and impediments to agility. They gain knowledge and understanding about how to choose and apply the appropriate practices and techniques that will be most beneficial for their Scrum Teams. View the different Focus Areas covered within this class and others. Course Learning Objectives Help Scrum Teams deliver value to their organisation Understand the theory and principles behind Scrum and empiricism Understand how each part of the Scrum framework ties back to the principles and theory Understand uncertainty and complexity in product delivery Understand the meaning and importance of the Scrum values Learn what Done means and why it is crucial to transparency Know how to use the Product Backlog to plan with agility Understand the importance of self-managing teams, interpersonal skills needed, and the Scrum Master role Clarify the leadership role a Scrum Master play on the team Learn the skills and traits, and behaviour shifts required to be a Scrum Master Professional Scrum Certification All participants completing the Professional Scrum Master course will receive a password to attempt the Professional Scrum Master I (PSM I) assessment.

PSM class participants who attempt the PSM I assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. Students explore common real-life challenges that Scrum teams and organisations face when it comes to organising Scrum Teams. This is followed by a deep dive into the Scrum Master's services as a true leader to the Scrum Team and the wider organisation. WORKSHOP ENVIRONMENT PLEASE NOTE: Apart from accessibility reasons of pre-arrangements with the trainer, a condition of ordering live virtual training is it’s mandatory to have a camera on and mic on and be clear in the camera view. People can just be themselves; loved ones and pets are welcome. This condition is there to optimise the experience for all attendees and for the trainer. The trainer reserves the right to dismiss, without refund, attendees who refuse to turn on the camera and mic without good reason in the view of the trainer. Traveling during training is not permitted. Attendance at live virtual training on a phone screen only is not permitted, as desktop-size screens are needed. Live Virtual Each segment is 60-75 mins long with 15-30 min breaks. Attendees have the choice of spreading the workshop over several days if advertised or if other attendees are ok with that —no recording of the workshop to improve openness. The workshop size is limited to 20 attendees. Workshop attendees will use Zoom/Teams, Mural, Slack, StoriesOnBoard, Strategyzer, Kanbanize/SwiftKanban, and John's physical flipcharts. Learning online is almost as effective as face-to-face. The critical difference is working together online; it takes longer to do things. A "funnel" gets added to the Kanban Board for optional best efforts and additions to the official curriculum. Most questions will get answered to the satisfaction of the attendees, one way or the other. Course delivery is heavily dependent on group activities with a combination of slides, flip charts, and exercises. The approach is a combination of experiential training and Training From The Back of The Room, regardless of the training course, while sticking to the Scrum.org learning objectives. Many practical problems get discussed. and more often than not, options to solve problems are presented. But some problems need sessions in themselves, and it would be unfair to distract the class if the entire class doesn't want to take that path and/or the trainer is getting concerned that the learning objectives might not be attained within the training course time box. In addition, some topics could be completely outside the scope of the training class. To that end, some topics may need to be "parked." Some topics could be completely outside the scope of the training class. Best efforts are made to address "parked" topics during the workshop and/or subsequent video conference calls. Rules to follow: cameras on mics on - let's avoid delayed interventions be on time for every segment no meetings/phone calls/emails during the active segments be self-aware and conscious of the needs of others to have their say no hijacking of the agenda; a free coach session is on offer per attendee; use that instead. A SCRUM RESET IS OFTEN NEEDED IN THE WORKSHOP If the class attendees demonstrate additional ability, bonus content may get covered. However, the class pace can get set to a slower pace by even one attendee who has not prepared for class, as per pre-class communications. While John Coleman's style is to assume zero knowledge, some attendees may have negative knowledge, and preconceived ideas that are incorrect, according to Scrum.org. Negative knowledge creates drag for a training class. Hence John Coleman sometimes performs pre-training-screening-calls. While there are no formal pre-requisites for Scrum.org classes, the trainer may request in pre-training phone calls that some attendees go to Professional Scrum Foundations/Scrum Master (by any Scrum.org trainer) to ensure a smooth learning experience, even if the booked class ticket needs to be postponed to another date, refunding if necessary less banking fees. Either way, at the beginning of each workshop, some kind of Scrum reset takes place to align attendees and reduce the potential for learning drag later. PAYMENT, FEES & CANCELLATION To ensure a full refund, cancellation must be made up to 30 days prior to the class.To start a return, you can contact us at john@orderlydisruption.com. Payment in advance is required, with no exceptions. VAT plus online ticketing charges, if applicable, are additional. All documentation requirements for invoice payment by the training date must be declared at the outset. VAT is treated automatically by the online ticket provider, if applicable. VAT additional. VAT is treated automatically. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement.

Review & Ratings for John Coleman of Orderly Disruption on Google, VocalReferences & Trustpilot Reviews & Ratings for all of John Coleman's workshops are available on: Google - http://bit.ly/GoogleJohnC​ TrustPilot - https://www.trustpilot.com/review/www.ace.works​ Vocal References - http://bit.ly/VocalRJohnC​ It's not just about Reviews & Ratings Reviews & ratings are limited by nature. John needs to understand if the learning made a real difference back in the office. So, John checks in up to 12-18 months later. He sees a pattern of improvement and regularly gets pleasant vibes from successful agility inspired by ideas in the workshops. For example, see this experience report. Content writing John Coleman is a Professional Scrum Trainer, a candidate LeSS trainer / LeSS Friendly Scrum Trainer, organizer of ELNA (Executive Leadership Network for Adaptiveness), co-author of Kanban Guide, and author of Kanban for Complexity™ aka Kanplexity™ with lots of attribution to Dave Snowden & Cognitive Edge for Cynefin and related theory. See https://kanbanguides.org. John did one of the most comprehensive comparisons/contrast of the scaling/descaling frameworks at https://valueglide.com/blog and https://orderlydisruption.com/blogs/grow-agility-for-your-why/mirror-mirror-on-the-wall-preamble-to-1-of-4 ("Mirror Mirror" series). John Coleman's blog posts on executives, Scrum, Kanban, Nexus Vs. LeSS, are available at https://bit.ly/JohnColemanBlog. John blogs prolifically at orderlydisruption.com, valueglide.com, thinkers360, Medium, CIO Water Cooler, and The Digital Transformation People. Practicing what he preaches, except he doesn't preach -- he doesn't sell, huh? John helps teams, managers, leaders, change agents, and execs. He can answer all sorts of up-to-date questions with ease. John coaches, teaches, and consults for sustainable growth of agility in non-software as well as software. He created Broad and Deep agility (BaDa) on top of the shoulders of existing theory & practice. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUen2CeyTDk. John himself is broad & deep from the points of view of agility, people & change. Standing on the shoulders of giants John is a systems thinker who happens to be a huge fan of Cynefin and sees the benefits of both, erring on the side of Cynefin where they clash. Most importantly, John takes an independent view. John is also a people & change thinker; he uses Spiral Dynamics Integral (certified to level 2) and other models; even if they are criticized in some quarters as pseudoscience, John finds aspects of Spiral Dynamics helpful in structuring better conversations with people. More proof he knows what he's talking about, and has done what he talks about John's Scrum+Kanban Nexus+ case studies can be found (international payments company, European bank) at https://www.valueglide.com/blog/nexus-nexus-and-scrum.org-certifications. John is grateful to be part of Marshall Goldsmith's #payitforward campaign and, in so doing, offers free coaching/mentoring/co-training to a selection of potential agility chefs. John is a member of the #MarshallGoldsmithLead60 group, a cohort from the 16,000+ #MarshallGoldsmith100CoachesApplicants. It was a privilege for John to be one of a lucky group of 60 people; Marshall Goldsmith himself taught that group in Salt Lake City in February 2018.

Professional Scrum Product Owner  (PSPO)- GUARANTEED TO RUN

Learn To Scale Scrum Beyond A Single Team Scaled Professional Scrum™ (SPS) with Nexus is a course that is designed as an experiential workshop where students learn how to scale Scrum using the Nexus Framework. You are introduced to the artifacts and events within the framework, the new Nexus Integration Team role, and more than 50 associated practices. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Scaled Professional Scrum certification exam. What You Will Learn Over the duration of the course, students will simulate a large product development project using the Nexus Framework. The workshop is delivered using an end-to-end case study where students work together to organize and simulate a scaled product development project. Throughout the workshop, students will be introduced to more than 50 practices (find many of the practices here) that can be used to help reduce complexity and dependencies at scale. The workshop will teach students how to launch, structure, staff, and manage a large Agile project using Scrum. Throughout the workshop, students will learn the infrastructure, tools, and practices needed to scale Scrum successfully to maximize the value of their product development initiative. By taking a hands-on approach, students are fully engaged in the learning process, where they see first-hand the challenges in large-scale development initiatives and solutions for getting the work back on track. They will leave the workshop with techniques to detect irregularities and how to address them appropriately. View the different Focus Areas covered within this class and others. Course Objectives Learn how to Scale Scrum using the Nexus framework Learn how to overcome challenges in large-scale development initiatives Keep development initiatives on track Experience organizing several teams working on the same product Optimize team productivity Understand how to identify, minimize and remove dependencies Course Topics Scaled Scrum is still Scrum Introduction to the Nexus Framework New role, artifacts, and events Organizing teams & work Managing the Nexus & Nexus+ Dealing with common challenges Practices to help teams efficiently build an integrated software product Certification Assessments All participants completing the Scaled Professional Scrum course will receive a password to attempt the Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) assessment. SPS class participants who attempt the SPS assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. The industry-recognized SPS certification requires a minimum passing score of 85% and involves understanding the Nexus Framework, knowledge from the course, and Scrum. PMI PDU Credits Students of Scrum.org courses are able to claim Project Management Institute (PMI) PDU credit: 14 PDUs after attending a Scaled Professional Scrum (SPS) course. Please note that PMI PDUs are earned for course attendance, not for passing a Scrum.org assessment. Students can claim PDUs under PMI's "Education courses provided by other third-party providers” category. You can claim your PDUs online at https://ccrs.pmi.org. Find instructions here. Why Scrum.org Scrum.org provides the highest quality Scrum training, training materials, and certified Professional Scrum Trainers (PSTs) to teach them. Our training materials are created and maintained by Scrum co-creator Ken Schwaber, Scrum.org, and the PST community members who teach the courses, helping to ensure that they are in tune with what’s happening in organizations and always up-to-date with the latest practices. Professional Scrum Trainers bring their own style and experience to the courses but use the same materials so that students learn from the same content regardless of who teaches the course or where it is taught worldwide. Read more about the differences. What John Coleman's Students Say Google reviews TrustPilot reviews VocalReferences reviews Read more about our SPS student surveys and their feedback Our Course Steward Model Each Scrum.org course is assigned 2 Stewards. The Stewards are ultimately responsible for collecting input on the course materials, both those that exist and potential additions to be made, reviewing that input with the community along with Ken Schwaber, and providing updates as required. Each course is stored in GitHub, allowing version control, feedback mechanisms, distribution, and much more, unlike the code Scrum Teams deliver for their products. A PST can submit feedback on course materials, its delivery content, speaker notes, exercises, and much more through GitHub capabilities, with PSTs around the world teaching the materials, which provides a fantastic number of people to provide excellent feedback to improve the content and quality of the courseware. Pricing Pricing excludes UK VAT. UK VAT only applies to orders from the UK; VAT does not apply outside the UK. To request a manual invoice, simply email info@orderlydisruption.com with the subject "manual invoice" -- payment would then be made via an electronic transfer, a Paypal transaction, or an over-the-phone card payment. Without exception, all seats for a booking must be prepaid to confirm that booking. VAT is added for UK customers only. Workshop Environment Assessment preparation tends not to be covered in the workshop. The workshop focuses on attendees getting ready to apply new skills back at work immediately after the workshop. There is an expectation that attendees will attend some free post-workshop Zoom calls and watch recordings of their own group (or previous groups) doing tough practice tests, sometimes including John Coleman's own practice tests, which address the same learning outcomes, albeit from a different angle. John expects attendees to attend the calls, as assessment preparation does not scale on a 1:1 basis. Signing up for this workshop is effectively signing up to attend these calls. Sometimes, John Coleman will have a co-trainer, someone already qualified or building up experience. Please inform John Coleman if you need him to bring an assistant trainer who speaks your language via john@orderlydisruption.com; economics will hopefully be in our favor to allow that if there is enough demand. Live Virtual Each segment is 60-75 mins long with 15-30 min breaks. Attendees can spread the workshop over several days if advertised or if other attendees are ok with that —no recording of the workshop to improve openness. The workshop size is limited to 20 attendees. Workshop attendees will use Zoom/Teams, Mural, Slack, StoriesOnBoard, Strategyzer, Kanbanize/SwiftKanban, and John's physical flipcharts. Learning online is almost as effective as face-to-face. The critical difference is working together online; it takes longer to do things. A "funnel" gets added to the Kanban Board for optional best efforts and additions to the official curriculum. Most questions will get answered to the satisfaction of the attendees, one way or the other. Rules to follow: cameras on mics on - let's avoid delayed interventions be on time for every segment no meetings/phone calls/emails during the active segments be self-aware and conscious of the needs of others to have their say no hijacking of the agenda; a free coach session is on offer per attendee; use that instead. A Scrum Reset is often needed in the workshop If the class attendees demonstrate additional ability, bonus content may get covered. However, as per pre-class communications, the class pace can get set to a slower pace by even one attendee who has not prepared for class. While John Coleman's style is to assume zero knowledge, some attendees may have negative knowledge and preconceived ideas that are incorrect, according to Scrum.org. Negative knowledge creates drag for a training class. Hence John Coleman sometimes performs pre-training-screening-calls. While there are no formal prerequisites for Scrum.org classes, the trainer may request in pre-training phone calls that some attendees go to Professional Scrum Foundations/Scrum Master (by any Scrum.org trainer) to ensure a smooth learning experience, even if the booked class ticket needs to be postponed to another date, refunding if necessary less banking fees. Either way, at the beginning of each workshop, some kind of Scrum reset takes place to align attendees and reduce the potential for learning drag later. Payment, fees & cancellation Payment in advance is required, with no exceptions. All documentation requirements for invoice payment by the training date must be declared at the outset. VAT additional for UK clients only. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. A minimum quorum is needed for this class to proceed. It's unusual for courses to get canceled. Some classes require a minimum number of attendees. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. You may cancel up to the specified online ticketing deadline, and if so, depending on the payment engine/approach, the refund could have deductions for bank transfer fees. You may postpone your ticket with a minimum of three business days' notice; thereafter, your lack of attendance at the booked date will be treated as a cancellation with zero refund (due to planning & venue costs for class numbers). Best efforts will be made to fit you into a later workshop. Electronic manuals and Scrum.org assessment fees are included. Physical manuals are not provided. GDPR etc. Subject to GDPR or other regulations: Attendees may be asked to optionally consent to receive communications, e.g., follow-up email newsletters. A booking is not a guarantee of attendance. The trainer may need to contact attendees to assess their readiness for the training class. It is possible the trainer will recommend additional training/reading before you can be accepted into the booked class. In order to get an assessment, the trainer must submit your name and email address to Scrum.org; Scrum.org may, in turn, send you regular newsletters. Attendees will be invited to a slack channel for the class to enable communications before, during, and after the class. Photographs and/or video permission will be requested in class for follow-up marketing purposes. Reviews & Testimonials will be requested in class; you can add the same review and star rating to each of VocalReferences, TrustPilot, and Google, to be performed optionally in class. Attendees may also be asked to provide feedback to Scrum.org. For these requests, additional bonus learning content will be delivered regardless of the response. A limited number of free-of-charge post-training Zoom/alternative calls are offered. To book, attendees can arrange to meet me via https://calendly.com/johncolemanagile Attendees may be asked to join compatible communities, e.g., the LeSS community.

A PROFESSIONAL KANBAN TRAINING COURSE CREATED BY PROKANBAN.ORG AND THE PROFESSIONAL KANBAN TRAINER COMMUNITY The ProKanban.org mission is to support all Kanban practitioners (new or old) by providing a safe and inclusive forum to learn about Kanban. APK Course Overview The essence of Kanban in practice Optimize the flow of value, not the flow of activities Prioritize within throughput, adjust for noise Better to have slack than overwhelm As needed, split items into smaller but valuable items Show empathy within, upstream, and downstream Unblock, focus, finish, & feed Do ensemble work as needed Look after work item aging Lower aging => Lower cycle times => after a time lag.More stable throughput, then higher throughput Get a stronger flow… without adding more people Expand optimization of flow upstream and downstream and at higher levels Applying Professional Kanban Kanban is fast becoming the modern way to manage an organization’s delivery of customer value. In today’s always-on environment, you need a clear set of practices that don’t hinder your ability to deliver continuously but that provide enough structure to keep everyone aligned and focused. This 16 hours of learning will give you an in-depth introduction to improving effectiveness by applying Kanban flow principles. Course Learning Objectives In this class, you will learn the basic principles of flow and how to use them to make your flow more efficient, predictable, and effective. With an emphasis on the practical application of concepts, this course includes many hands-on exercises that will lead you through the steps of setting up and operating a Kanban system for continuous value delivery and improvement. After attending the course, learners will be able to: Explain the basic principles of flow Describe the value of WIP limits Create a visual board to manage your work Capture and interpret key flow metrics and analytics to find improvement opportunities Explain why flow should be focused on value delivery Define, build, operate, and continuously improve a Kanban system Topics Kanban theory, strategy, and practices Applying Kanban practices Workflow design and visualization How to get started Certification included All participants completing the Applying Professional Kanban course will receive a password to attempt the Applying Professional Kanban certification assessment. APK class participants who attempt the APK assessment within 14 days of the class and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. Who should attend? The APK course is for anyone who wants to improve their ability to deliver value and be more effective. Typical attendee roles include team members, team leads, agility coaches, scrum masters, product owners, project managers/directors, product managers/leaders, management, and leaders at all levels. This particular class is aimed at entrepreneurs, executives, and board members. Live Virtual Each segment is 60-75 mins long with 15-30 min breaks. No recording of the workshop to improve openness. The workshop size is limited to 20 attendees. Workshop attendees will use Zoom/Teams, Mural, Miro, and John's physical flipcharts. Rules to follow: cameras on mics on - let's avoid delayed interventions be on time for every segment no meetings/phone calls/emails during the active segments be self-aware and conscious of the needs of others to have their say no hijacking of the agenda; there is time after the official end of each session for additional questions. Classes are usually small, and even if not, John Coleman uses techniques that make a large class run very well, to a limit. John Coleman does not train class sizes over his operational limit, so attendees can rightly get the full benefit of his classes. Payment, fees & cancellation Payment in advance is required; there are no exceptions. For example, all documentation requirements for invoice payment by the training date must be declared at the outset. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. Normally a minimum quorum is recommended for this class to proceed, but we always proceed once people book. We find ways to make it work well. It's highly unusual for courses to get canceled. Some classes require a minimum number of attendees. No responsibility is taken for costs resulting from cancellation/postponement. You may cancel up to the specified online ticketing deadline, and if so, depending on the payment engine/approach, the refund could have deductions for bank transfer fees. You may postpone your ticket with a minimum of three business days' notice; thereafter, your lack of attendance at the booked date will be treated as a cancellation with zero refund (due to planning & venue costs for class numbers). Best efforts will be made to fit you into a later workshop. A postponement rescinds your notice period for a refund. Electronic manuals and Scrum.org assessment fees are included. Physical manuals are not provided. Data protection, data privacy Attendees may be asked to optionally consent to receive communications, e.g., follow-up email newsletters. A booking is not a guarantee of attendance. In order to get an assessment code from Scrum.org, the trainer must submit your name and email address to Scrum.org. Attendees will be invited to a community for continued learning. It's possible that photograph or video permission will be requested in class for follow-up marketing purposes and social media. Reviews, testimonials, and feedback for improvement will be requested Attendees may also be asked to provide feedback to Scrum.org. See the privacy statement at orderlydisruption.com.

Course Overview Certified LeSS Basics As per LeSS overview video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BZf_Oa7W94&t=6s, and LeSS's antithetical stance to typical misconceptions about Scrum at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cr2rjaGmUzo&t=14s, Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is a framework for scaling agile development methods for multiple teams. More accurately, LeSS is for de-scaling the organization, simplifying organization design, processes & workflows. A short overview can be found on LeSS.works. LeSS builds on the Scrum principles such as empiricism and cross-functional, self-managing teams and provides a framework to use them on a larger scale. Here, simple structural rules and guidelines are given, as Scrum can also be used for large projects in product development. The Certified LeSS Basics course provides an initial introduction to the LeSS framework. In a 1-day training course, you will get an overview of the framework itself and get to know some of the basic concepts. The course will help you decide if LeSS could be the right one for your needs, but for the introduction of LeSS, we also recommend participating in a LeSS Practitioner course. The Certified LeSS Basics course is suitable for anyone who deals with the concept of LeSS. Basic knowledge of Scrum is required, which means, for example, that a course has already been completed as a Certified Scrum Master or a Professional Scrum Master, or has been acquired through the study of specialist literature such as the Scrum Primer and practical experience in using Scrum. The Certified Less Basics course is often offered as an extension day of a Scrum course and thus serves to deepen Scrum-focused training. Would you like to know what practical experience some companies have had with the introduction of LeSS? Then visit the LeSS Case Studies page. AGENDA: Articulate why LeSS Explain how LeSS is a Scrum-based approach to scaling Summarize what impact this has on the organizational design (structures, policies, etc.) Explain the dynamics of component teams vs. feature teams Explain all LeSS roles and their purposes Explain why there is one and only real PO and not so-called team POs Explain the LeSS Complete diagram, organizing LeSS information in terms of the principles, rules, guides, and experiments Explain how LeSS scales over ~8 teams Analyze one's own current organizations’ state Evaluate the applicability of LeSS in one's own current work environment What organizational impacts LeSS adoption may cause. What impact would LeSS adoption make to participants’ work life? Starts with LeSS Friendly "Scrum reset" then continues with CLB agenda. Optional reset on Zoom calls or relaxed informal warm-up event before the workshop Learning Goals Foundational Knowledge A year (or more) after this course is over, we want and hope that participants will still be able to: Articulate why LeSS Explain how LeSS is a Scrum-based approach to scaling Summarize what impact this has on the organizational design (structures, policies, etc.) Explain the dynamics of component teams vs. feature teams Explain all LeSS roles and their purposes Explain why there is one and only real PO and not so-called team POs Explain the LeSS Complete diagram, organizing LeSS information in terms of the principles, rules, guides, and experiments Explain how LeSS scales over ~8 teams Know the existence of and location of major learning resources at less.works, including at least these sections: Why LeSS?, Introduction to LeSS (chapter 2 from book 3), the rules, the online videos & books chapters. Application Goals After the class, we expect that participants will have skills to: Analyze their current organizations’ state Evaluate the applicability of LeSS in their current work environment Integration Goals After the class we want and hope participants are able to make following the connections: LeSS is Scrum. What organizational impacts LeSS adoption may cause. What impact would LeSS adoption make to participants’ work life? LeSS is building on top of modern management thinking. Eg. Peter Senge, John Seddon, W. Edwards Deming, Taiichi Ohno, Richard Hackman, Robert Sutton, and Jeffrey Pfeffer. The authors and practitioners of LeSS advocate understanding leading management thinkers and prevailing evidence in terms of management thinking and participants are encouraged to continue learning post-training. Human Dimensions Goals After the class we want and hope participants have made the following realizations: There is no blame. People’s behavior is determined by the system they are in (managers have a responsibility to change the system). What participants could or should learn about themselves What is preventing them from influencing the organization they are currently in What participants could or should learn about understanding others and/or interacting with them Caring Goals After the class, we want and hope participants have Interest in learning more about topics discussed in the class New ideas about their future Workshop Environment: Assessment preparation tends not to be covered in the workshop. The workshop focuses on attendees getting ready to apply new skills back at work immediately after the workshop. There is an expectation that attendees will attend some free post-workshop Zoom calls and watch recordings of their own group (or previous groups) doing tough practice tests, sometimes including John Coleman's own practice tests which address the same learning outcomes, albeit from a different angle.
