To those of you in the sunshine state, I will be teaching a Certified ScrumMaster class next month on behalf of the PMI South Florida Chapter.
I’m particularly excited about this session, because we’ll be tailoring the material specifically for every day project managers who have been trained in PMI circles. So, we’ll be covering Scrum for sure, but we’ll also talk about converting burndowns to EVM, how to work with CMMI, and most especially where the PM fits in an Agile environment. And we’ll be doing it hands-on exercises of real-world business scenarios.
Here are the details:
- Class: Certified ScrumMaster for Project Managers
- Date: March 18-19, 2010
- Location: Westin at Ft. Lauderdale, FL
- Price: $1,400 for general admission ($1,200 for members of PMI South Florida)
- PDUs: 16

Hi Jesse,
I live in South Florida and I’m interested in the ScrumMaster certification and class you are planning. But I’m not a PM, at least not yet. Would that be a problem?

Cris, absolutely you would be welcome. The “Project Manager” caveat is mostly to set expectations about the content. More specifically, we’ll be talking more about leading work teams, and less about computer programming. I’d love to see you there.
