Don’t miss this oppertunity to take your Scrum Master skills to the next level! We’ve recently created a new full-day Advanced Scrum Master training, which is primarily for Scrum Masters with some experience, who have a desire to help their teams, even more, to grow to their maximum potential.
The Advanced Scrum Master training will be held in Vejle, Denmark on the 8th of Oktober in English.
This course expands on relevant Scrum Master-related topics, equipping Scrum Masters to handle the inherent challenges and diverse tasks of the important Scrum Master role. The course adds on the original Scrum Master course with advanced theory, practice reflection, and opportunities for discussion and problem-solving.
