Awesome experience with a great group of students eager to learn about Scrum mastering within a SAFe portfolio. I really love teaching this course. 28 folks were in the class and thirteen agreed to take the picture to be posted here on LI. Thank you, team! My co-instructor, Giuseppe B. (left), was also amazing, as usual, as expected for such a great guy! The team chose (self-managed) to use the “Build a house” simulation rather than stock context sim so it was great fun to learn about and experience the awesomeness of PI Planning and the enterprise backlog model while planning a $1.5M mansion.
The teams also experienced self-organization and self-management in this course as they aligned to a common mission, vision, and strategy for their “construction company ART.” They learned how to write and decompose great features and stories.
The students also get near constant teaching and reference back to the value systems of the Agile Manifesto, SAFe, Scrum, Lean, and Systems Thinking. We spend lots of time talking about cognitive empathy, Human Factors, CAS, and culture transformation using the AM goal of “We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it” as a foundation.
