Scrum Certification for Omaha Project Managers

omaha-scrummaster

After such a great experience at the Infotec conference last week in Omaha, I’ve committed to go back next month to teach a special edition of “Certified ScrumMaster for Project Managers”.

Granted, this will be similar to my other 2-day certification classes in Agile Project Management, where we discuss making the leap from traditional plan-driven PM to using the Scrum method in real-world situations. However, this will be a special session, in that I am co-teaching with Sally Elatta of AgileTransformations.com . Sally has established herself as *the* Agile coach in the midwest by serving big name clients over last 6 years.

If you are a midwest Project Manager, and you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to get exposed to Agile Project Management, this is that opportunity. You get strong foundational training, the certification, and networking with one of the most important experts in the region.

Here are the details:

  • Class: Certified ScrumMaster for Project Managers
  • Date: May 18-19, 2010
  • Location: Omaha, NE (Venue information provided upon registration)
  • Price: $1,190 for General Admission
                   $1,090 for members of the Heartland or IA PMI Chapters
