Welcome to the online component of your Humanizing Work Agile and Scrum Training course! This prereq material covers the basics of Complexity, Agile, and Scrum, so that when we meet in the workshop we can go deeper into application, vs. reviewing the basics the whole time. If you're already familiar with Cynefin, Agile Values & Principles, and how Scrum is intended to work, you'll be able to cruise through the content pretty quickly. If not, you'll get a firm foundation on which to build in the workshop. This content was created in collaboration with the Scrum Alliance, so they are fully aligned with the Scrum Guide. You never lose access to this course, so you can review it at any time in the future. The course also gets you working in our favorite online collaboration tool, Miro, which we will use extensively during the workshop. It's important that you complete these prior to the workshop so we're ready to dive into how these concepts apply in making work more impactful and effortless! Each lesson and quiz has a button for you to provide feedback in case anything is confusing or doesn't work for some reason. Let us know if that happens, we jump right on those notifications.

Thousands of individuals and teams have used Richard Lawrence’s story splitting material over the past 17 years. But most of what he has published online is for practitioners. It’s about how to do story splitting yourself. Helping others develop that skill and make it their own is a whole different thing.  Richard hosted a workshop on how to coach story splitting on April 25, 2024. The recording from that session is provided here.

The Team Launch Sequence (TLS) helps newly formed teams, teams new to Agile, or any team that could use a boost get aligned, focused, and collaborating more effectively. 

We have found that team improvement is less dependent on total time together, and more dependent on how frequently they have intentionally experimented with better ways of collaborating. Taking advantage of this discovery, we’ve broken down and redesigned standard team improvement efforts to help your team get the improvements most teams typically see after months in just two weeks. 

TLS is a two week, guided experience, where the team does their existing work while experimenting with new approaches every day.
