All CSM participants are happy after 3 days of useful knowledge exchange

In this three-day course, attendees gained a closer approach on the fundamentals of Scrum and explores deeply Scrum Master roles in the context of organizational development. Through great mix of games and exercises in group activities, they have learned to successfully plan and execute the Program Increment (PI), the primary enabler of alignment in all levels of an agile organization.

Many teamwork exercises help participants improve their communication and problem-solving skill in Scrum practice

Trainers used a time-boxing structure, a feature used in all Scrum events, in doing all activities, allowing learners to experience Scrum as in real-world scenario. There was also a strong emphasis of letting the students teach and learn from each other based upon their own experiences, and then Zuzana and Sebastian would follow up on the more confusing or controversial points.
