— Agile Logic was one of the very first to offer ScrumMaster certification training in 2004, and we have certified hundreds of ScrumMasters worldwide. Our expertise in preparing ScrumMasters and Product Owners for their real-world responsibilities extends far beyond a basic two-day course, and includes meaningful training, coaching and hands-on mentoring for ScrumMasters and Product Owners in their actual project situations.
In the event you decide Scrum Alliance certifications are necessary for your agile transition, Agile Logic can recommend one of our close Certified Scrum Trainer partners, who can integrate the certification training into your overall agile transition program.

In addition to test-driven development, continuous integration, refactoring, unit testing, build & test automation, this course also includes innovative modules on emergent architecture & design, agile database practices and agile user interface design.

This course covers the role of quality assurance and testing personnel in agile processes, agile quality assurance practices, acceptance testing techniques and tool support for agile testing.

While comprehensive training is essential to initiate your agile project, it is the application of your newly acquired knowledge that will transform understanding into skill and propel an agile transition to success. Driven by the collaboration and feedback of our clients, Agile Logic has developed a set of unique and extremely effective workshops that enable your teams to leverage their training and quickly begin to deliver results.

Using your actual teams and projects, our workshops provide a powerful combination of situational training and expert step-by-step mentoring and guidance in the performance of specific, real-world process activities. Agile Logic's coaches work side-by-side with your team, ensuring the correct application of agile practices and helping them avoid costly misunderstandings and false starts.

(Note that iterations are also called "sprints" in the Scrum process.)

The early iterations of a new agile project are the most critical, and where your team will gain valuable feedback and encounter the most challenges. Agile Logic's hands-on coaching services provide your team with the support and guidance to quickly overcome obstacles and gain proficiency in their agile practices. Our experienced coaches will work side-by-side with your team, mentoring and guiding them in the implementation of lean and agile practices.

Agile Logic is committed to your continuing long-term success. Our coaches will work closely with your team to ensure their ongoing effectiveness, and to help them incorporate their learning and feedback, and guide the tuning and adaptation of their agile practices. Through periodic check-up coaching, we will help your team quickly identify and solve issues as they arise throughout your project.

One of the keys to successfully adopting an agile process is to start with a thorough understanding of the unique needs and circumstance within your organization. Agile Logic's assessment activities gather and analyze important information about your organization, environment, products, projects and teams to develop a profile for your agile transition. Agile Logic coaches will use a combination of interviews, surveys and observations, as required, to conduct the assessment and generate the profile information.

From the assessment information, Agile Logic coaches will establish a customized implementation approach based on the lean and agile methods most appropriate for your unique environment.
