Scrum Masters of the Universe

🎩 Event Overview: Story Points have been a staple for most circles of agile software development. The session will dive into the story of story points and will also shine the light on how it is being used and abused. Finally, we will break down the mechanics of this method of estimation and why it might not work in certain cases and environments. Join us.

🔄 What to expect: In this 60 minute session, the intention is to widen the perspectives of forecasting beyond purely story points. Hopefully, participants will leave with fresh ideas and a real call to action that will help them dismantle the idea at their organisations that forecasting using story point is an effective solution.

🌟 Join us: This isn't just another webinar—it's a "Masterclass" for all aspiring Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Agile Coaches, and anyone around agile teams.

Why do most training sessions fade from memory while others stick for years? The difference often lies in how well they work WITH—rather than against—the brain's natural learning processes.

In this interactive session, Angela Agresto will share how understanding brain science can dramatically transform your Agile training and facilitation. Drawing from her unique perspective as both a training expert and someone who recovered from a traumatic brain injury, Angela will demonstrate the 4Cs framework (Connections, Concepts, Concrete Practice, and Conclusions)—a powerful approach that aligns with how our brains naturally learn.

You'll not only learn about these principles but actually experience them in action throughout the session. Discover practical techniques to engage teams, reduce cognitive overload, and ensure learning transfers to the workplace. Whether you're facilitating Scrum ceremonies, running workshops, or coaching teams, you'll leave with brain-friendly strategies you can immediately implement.

Angela will also share a preview of her upcoming summer SMOTU session on the 6 Brain Science Principles that underpin the 4Cs framework, along with information about her free resources for continued learning.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the neuroscience behind effective learning and why traditional approaches often fail
• Experience how the 4Cs Model creates multiple neural pathways for better retention
• Learn practical techniques to reduce cognitive overload and maximize the brain's "Energy Pie"
• Discover simple ways to incorporate strategic brain breaks that reset attention cycles
• Gain access to free resources that support your brain-friendly facilitation journey
• Take away a structured approach for designing more effective Agile learning experiences
