Well we had over twenty enthusiastic Meet up members attend the Social last night. I won the raffle for the photography shoot and Wanda the photographer from MadCris Images won the CSM. She said she wanted to start another career. I told her I need to get the dog’s photos done for our Christmas card.…

After much debate, we decided to hold a weekend workshop for those that could not take off from work or school. Saturday and Sunday was rough. But we made it through. It’s a good thing we only scheduled one workshop. However the best part was free parking in Media and no traffic both mornings going…

Ok, I think the employees at Inverse Paradox must have been showing off. They were the brightest students we have ever had. They asked poignant questions at appropriate times, followed along with the material and overall seemed to grasp the information better than any other group. I have to hand it to Neil, who has…

On the evening of the second day of one of our free two-day Non-Certified ScrumMaster workshops, I gave a presentation for the Philly Application Lifecycle Management User Group. My presentation topic was “Overcoming Challenges of the Transition to the Agile Methodology.” A question that I have been asked often during our workshops is “how do…

This week kicks off our busiest week ever.  We have three workshops back to back with only one day off.  So we have workshops Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and then Saturday and Sunday.  Let’s hope we are still functioning after this week!  Today was an important workshop.  We are courting Drexel University to…

Just ten last little employees left for another digital agency Agile training. Seems like we are always celebrating holidays with them anymore. We have now trained over 50 of their employees. What a sharp bunch! Although we enjoyed it, we are glad it’s over. The hardest part will now be how they actually implement Agile.…

Tonight we were sponsors for the Local Entrepreneurial Network’s Big August Mixer. There were about 90 local businesses represented at this event at Champp’s Restaurant in King of Prussia. Shane got to speak for a few minutes on how to become certified with the Scrum Alliance and the different kinds of certifications. I have never…

Today we met with Katie from HeadRoom to give us a few pointers for our social media game. Which by the way… we don’t have any game. She set up everything correctly for us and told us what to do from now on. We now have Facebook for Agile Aces and Del Val Agile, LinkedIn…

Ok, so this workshop group needed a little guidance. I think just one or two of them had ever worked with technology before. While this did make aspects harder to explain, this allowed for many examples to be called out that were non-technical, like planning a party, planning a wedding, and fundraising for a silent…

This was our fourth training with Speed and Function. This time I remembered to take pictures and film. We stayed until 6:30 PM answering all of their questions. Shane just amazes me with his expertise. He is so confident and it truly shines through that he is very passionate about Scrum. The CEO was there…
