Yesterday and today, I had a very great Scrum Master Certification Training. It was held by Jeff Sutherland, Co-Creator of SCRUM. I have been using agile techniques since years, applied SCRUM at Nokia/Nokia Siemens Networks, but actually never got certified. As you say in agile: “this can be fixed later on”. And I did, became Certified Scrum Master today.

It was pretty interesting to get the training first hand from Jeff, much better than getting only second hand information and reading articles and books. Jeff was able to give me many answers on questions I did not know that I had them.

Now the challenge will be to implement it in our customer projects, but I am even more convinced by now, that SCRUM and XP are very good agile processes that will make your project better, earlier and cheaper.

But from now on I am a sheep dog :-)
