Certified LeSS Practitioner with Craig Larman

March 29, 2016 Mishkin Berteig Leave a comment

In just a few weeks we will be hosting Craig Larman here in Toronto as he facilitates the first-ever-in-Canada Certified Large Scale Scrum Practitioner training! Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) is about de-scaling. In simple terms, this is about using Scrum to make the best possible use of the creativity, problem-solving and innovation abilities of large numbers of people, rather than getting them stuck in bureaucracy and management overhead.

Here are the details of this unique learning event:

Date and Time: April 11-13 (3 Days), 2016 – 9am to 6pm all three days
Location: Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Toronto, 475 Yonge St. Phone: 416-924-0611
Price: $3990.00 / person (that’s in Canadian Dollars – super great deal if you are coming from the US!)

Check out the full agenda and register here.

Here are some quotes from previous attendees:

“It was inspiring to discuss Large-Scale Scrum with Craig Larman. The content of the course was top-notch.” – Steve Alexander

“The delivery was outstanding and the supporting material vast and detailed.” – Simone Zecchi

“The best course I have ever been on. Totally blown away.” – Simon Powers

Toronto is a great place to visit (I know many of our Dear Readers are from the United States) – don’t hesitate to consider coming in for a weekend as well as the course!

June 17, 2009 Mishkin Berteig Leave a comment

Hi Everyone!

Just thought you might like to know, there is a new Agile user group in the Toronto area. The web sit for the group is at:

http://www.torontoagile.org/

They also have a Yahoo! email group (no discussion so far) at:

http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/torontoagile/

Scott Ambler is one of the founders of the group. I’ve had a chance to talk with him in person a couple times and also to hear him speak. He’s a great guy with a lot of passion about agile methods and I think he will be able to make this group a fantastic place for folks to meet and discuss all things agile.

ANN: Agile Software Engineering Practices training by Isráfíl Consulting

January 2, 2009 Mishkin Berteig Leave a comment

Isráfíl Consulting is finally prepared for the first series of its Agile Software Engineering Practices training courses. This series is offered in partnership with Berteig Consulting who are graciously hosting the registration process. Their team has also helped greatly in shaping the presentation style and structure of the course. The initial run will be in Ottawa, Toronto (Markham), and Kitchener/Waterloo.

Topics covered will include Test Driven Development (TDD), testability, supportive infrastructure such as build and continuous integration, team metrics, incremental design and evolutionary architecture, dependency injection, and so much more. (This course won’t present the planning side of XP, but covers many other aspects common to XP projects) It makes a great complement for training in Agile Processes such as XP, Scrum, or OpenAgile. The overview slide presentation is available for free download from the Isráfíl web site.

The courses are scheduled for:

The course is $1250 CAD per student, and participants receive a transferrable discount of $100 CAD for other training with Berteig Consulting as a part of our ongoing partnership. I initially prototyped this course in Ottawa this December, and am very excited to see this through in several locales. Class size is limited to 15, so we can keep the instruction style more involved. The above schedules are linked to Berteig Consulting’s course system and have registration links at the bottom of the description. Locations are TBD, but will be updated at the above links as soon as they’re finalized.

A further series is planned for several US cities in March, and we’ll be sure to announce them as well.
