Scrumnastics

Scrumnastics - 1 book 5 courses.The 5 courses are:1. "Leadernomics: " - How to lead. Before you lead a team, you have to know how to lead one person. As soon as you go from anything as modest as a one-man-band and onto a duo, you need to know how to lead, and do it convincingly. Duos are never self-leading. Besides, better led companies prosper, badly led ones rarely do. Leadership is leadership so this section will be of use whether we go back to work in offices or not.2. "Scrumnastics - Guerrilla Management Not Gorilla Management: " Covers how to get up and running with Agile management, - specifically Scrum. Why? Great management electrifies your people and inspires them to do great things. Bad management as good as electrocutes them, so they achieve very little. Management is management - it will also be of use to you whether we go back to the office full time, or work in some form of a hybrid. 3. "Scrumnastics ++" covers the three following topics: 1. Advanced Scrum: How to expand it and co-ordinate multiple teams and multiple levels of management. 2. Using the GDS Discovery, Alpha, Beta, Live And Retirement phases for risk management. 3. The pathway to Lean Management. 4. Kanban - For when you really need to keep the lights on.5. "Lights! Sound! Cameras! Action!"
