Certified ScrumMaster

I am now a Certified ScrumMaster.

w00t!

I returned from the two day course in Sydney tonight. I wholly recommend that if you're interested in Scrum that you attend a course like this.

What did I learn? Lots - and it's great to interact whilst learning. I had read the book and have been trying to get something like Scrum implemented for a while now. But to be able to talk with those that have is refreshing.

(And no, I didn't receive any gifts or payments for this recommendation. In fact, I had to fund the entire cost myself, including losing 2 days pay!)

Certified Scrum Master Training

I'm off to the Scrum Master Training in Sydney to get Certified!.

Should be good.

after code camp 2007...

I really enjoyed Code Camp 2007. It's great to go to a conference where everyone is keen and is obviously committed to their career, demonstrated by being prepared to spend a weekend of their free time to attend.

Big thanks to Greg Low and Mitch Denny. Fantastic work.

As an aside, we were asked to leave the venue as clean as we found it and so I collected about half of the Readify pamphlets for the up coming WPF session in Sydney that had been placed on each chair.

As a joke, the guys from my work have been placing those very same pamphlets on my seat at work whenever I get up form my desk. This has been going on since we got back. I'm amazed that they are so committed to the joke. The funny thing is - I bet they get tired of it before I do...
