Access blogs, webinars, podcasts, articles, and more to advance your scrum master journey.
Congratulations on your completion of the Certified ScrumMaster course! This page provides some of the resources discussed in class for your ongoing use on your Scrum journey.
I find The Oz Principle immensely valuable as a leader seeking individual and group accountability. I hope you do, too.
The ScrumMaster is an agent of change in organizations. This is hard, really hard. While there are many models for organizational change such as Kotter and ADKAR, Switch from Chip and Dan Heath introduces a straightforward, powerful model for anyone to enable change when change is hard. I highly recommend it.
Development Team Resources
I constantly field questions about responsibility, team conflict resolution and what to do when things go wrong. Christopher Avery’s book on teamwork provides thoughtful guidance with exercises you can do and exercises for whole teams. I highly recommend it (and just about anything from Christopher).
I highly recommend the 2nd Edition of Liftoff to start or relaunch teams successfully. Invaluable reference.
In a recent class, we talked about cross-team dependencies preventing progress for one team waiting on another team. See how Spotify solves this problem and others.
The course workbook includes a few ideas from the Core Protocols contained in Software for Your Head. Check it out here. You can download the whole book for free.
Product Owner Resources
You may find Richard Lawrence’s Story Splitting Cheat Sheet useful to help your Product Owner and Development Team to decompose product backlog items.
I recently found the User Story Primer in my files and hope you find it valuable.
“The hands-on, interactive teaching style was perfect for me as a visual learner. So glad this was not two days of death by PowerPoint.”

“The organization of the course was excellent. I really valued the pre-course readings and homework which allowed the live course to be dynamic and focused on solving cases rather than covering the finite details of the methodology.”
Anna Maria Q.
“The class felt very interactive despite not being co-located. The combination of the Miro board and Zoom breakout rooms helped a lot in creating an inclusive environment.”
