Being part of an Agile project can be overwhelming and sometimes difficult. We have therefore decided to bring our combined 9 years of Scrum Master experiences together and deliver a full Agile-Scrum day where you will experience live, what that means to be part of an Agile-Scrum team.

Invitation

Come and share a real live experience with a group of hungry, ambitious and curious people. We will be playing roles in a simulated company adopting Agile – and we promise it will be an amazing learning experience!
