New Courses – Scrum Alliance
As you may know, Scrum Alliance has announced several new courses. The first two to know about are the “Advanced” courses. The Advanced Certified ScrumMaster (A-CSM) and the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO). They are pretty much what you would expect. More advanced than the CSM (or CSPO).

Why do we have the Sprint Burndown chart?
As with almost everything in Scrum, the purpose of the Sprint Burndown chart is to help the Team. First, we assume the Team (the whole team, including the implementers, the PO and the SM) are adults. And, as adults, they want to be successful. In every dimension that is relevant: more fun, higher quality, more […]

Emergent Leadership
In Scrum, the whole team is supposed to self-organize. By “whole team” we mean all seven people, the Product Owner, the Scrum Master and the “Doers.” They always self-organize — well, we can’t say they always do it successfully. Occasionally they do not self-organize well, but they did self-organize, kind of, given the conditions they […]
Pictures I draw in the course
Below is a link to a PDF of the pictures I drew in the recent CSM course + ARP workshop in NYC. They are not self-explanatory, but some of you will remember better what we said by ‘seeing the picture’. ‘Now I see the picture’ they often say. Enjoy! Comments welcome. NYC march 2017
