Mark Levison is an awesome instructor. He’s patient and welcomes all questions. He is definitely the Yoda of the Scrum universe.
Support
Want to delight your client with a quality product that is right for them?
Wish that work could be fun more, and suck less?
You’ve heard that Scrum does that, but you’ve also seen Scrum done poorly, where it’s used to drive the most output (features, user stories or, gasp, Story Points) without regard to quality or actual needs.
Bad Scrum is soul destroying. Learn how to get the many benefits of Agile, using Scrum as it was intended.
You’ve found the right place.

Of course, you know that ignoring organizational pain doesn’t make it go away. The problem hasn’t fixed itself by now and will only get worse. That means more frustration, more delays, more tension, more costs.
Want to shop around? Just don’t compare apples to lemons. There are training mills that slap an Agile label on a workshop but don’t position you to succeed. The results are abysmal. Poorly implemented Scrum can be worse than no Agile at all.
Our Agile training really is different than anything you’ve experienced. Founder Mark Levison is a recognized expert in Scrum and Agile, who crafts workshops that are clear, compelling, and actually enjoyable. You learn by doing Scrum as the framework of the course-so you’re immediately putting the principles into practice and, more importantly, understanding the why, not just the what. Then we include continued learning and support to help you stay motivated and implement the changes effectively.
