I am excited to share that I have successfully passed the Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) certification from Scrum.org. This certification validates my knowledge of the Scrum framework and my ability to support and enable value creation and delivery. Earning PSPO I shows my understanding of how to bridge the gap between strategy and agile product management in order to create valuable products using Scrum.

I am excited to share that I have successfully passed the Professional Agile Leadership I (PAL I) certification from Scrum.org. This certification validates that I am a leader who understands the value Agile can bring to a business and how to actively practice Agile. It also demonstrates my knowledge of why leadership support of agile teams is essential to achieving organizational agility and what leaders can do to support their teams to help them achieve higher performance.

Two days Creating/Designing Agile Organisations certification training behind and my mind is full of thoughts. I really need to digest all the new information, but there is something I would like to share with you right away. Why SCALING agile is not working? (Should we even talk about scaling?) 🖨️ It’s because organisations are trying to copy paste what works for one team to all teams or they are trying to copy of some other organisations model to their organisation which simply has a completely different system than the other has. 👓 It’s because organisations are optimising different parts of the organisation but not the whole system - or even not trying to understand the whole system. 💥 It’s because organisation design and structures simply conflict with the mindset of adaptability and the values of agility. Thank you Wolfgang Steffens ☀️ for the inspirational two days’ training!

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽 𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁? Recently I was with a customer developing software products using multiple scrum teams.  When teams started working on a certain feature, only high level architecture was defined. This might leave nice responsibilities to the scrum team. But it is not helping in developing efficiently. Additional discussions are needed to clear out the architecture further. This slows you down. And the architectural outcome might be more complex; you might need more time to develop. Having architectural design well in place not only enables efficient sprints. It also enables developing reusable software. Which really accelerates your development cycles. It allows you to build on proven, tested components rather than starting from scratch each time. Regardless of how you handle architectural design, it’s crucial to prepare the necessary level of detail before the sprint that implements the functionality begins. Whether it's work for a dedicated architect or the Scrum team itself, it’s essential to organize this effectively. Curious to hear your perspective on this.

🎓 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆? 🎓 At Scrum Facilitators we want to make it as easy as possible to register for a training with us. However we do not know a lot about how people in companies can register for training and if we are part of that system. We are already registered at some parties, but probably not all. Maybe you book a training directly through our website, or you use Archipel Academy or Springest or another training provider? 👇Please let us know in the comments, so we can make our training more easily accessible for everyone!👇 #scrum #agile #training #workshop #noppt

"The Rise and the Fall of the Scrum Master" We had a very collaborative meetup discussing the very controversial topic of” The rise and fall of the Scrum Master” facilitated by Tjeerd Dijkstra through The Liberators Network. I thank Tjeerd for keeping the discussions respectful, safe and open through his breakout rooms and the liberating structure. Key Takeaways: 👉Scrum has created value ⚡️ with its framework and guidelines in cross-functional teams since its inception. 👉However, Scrum has been facing a lot of criticism recently and Scrum and Scrum practitioners need to be self-aware of their limitations and pitfalls ☔️ 👉Yes, Scrum has its faults with being too rigid 🔐 sometimes. 👉But the crux of Scrum is that it is breakable and adaptable according to your team’s needs. We scale the scrum techniques to reach our goals and better align our processes.  👉Having said that, hating on Scrum and the role of Scrum masters has been a trend recently 🙅🏻‍♀️ 👉We need to understand that what works for one cross-functional team might not work for others and this is where Scrum’s adaptability can come into handy. 👉So having a sense of empathy before critiquing the role outright might foster a better collaborative mindset for us to grow Scrum or even evolve from Scrum🧗‍♀️ 👉There might be different terminology for Scrum masters such as an Agile coach or such since some hate for “Scrum” is also because people don’t like the Terminology such as “Master” and “Owner” 💀 👉But the role itself is of high importance as it generates value and is at no risk of fizzling over 🦾 👉Although Scrum Master itself is not a leadership role according to the Scrum guide, we argue that it is indeed a leadership role(maybe not in the book definition of leadership) 👉Because Scrum Master empowers the team through their teaching of “Scrum”, a framework to help individuals in a team to better achieve their collective goal 🎯 👉Even though it might be hard to quantify Scrum Master's value at times, Scrum Masters and Scrum will always add value to the team, the organization and especially the people following the framework in their own capacity 🥇

What Can a Visual Profile Do for You? Last year, while experimenting with drawings with my colleague Lucas Pluimgraaff, we came up with the idea of creating our Scrum Facilitators visual profile. 🎨This isn’t a visual CV or a manual about yourself—it’s a creative complement to your traditional resume that helps people get to know you better, showcasing who you are and not just what you’ve done. 💬You can use it as a conversation tool in team activities or add it to your resume to stand out from the crowd. 🔓Plus, putting it together provides a great opportunity for self-reflection and preparation for job interviews. 🔎If interested, you can make it on your own or with our help in a workshop. Either way, it will be a fun and valuable experience. Scrum Facilitators is on a mission to create something more valuable than a CV. We believe potential lies in who you are, and the Visual Profile helps communicate that. 📢If you’d like us to host a meetup to help you create your own visual profile in a practical session, leave your comment below. #visualcommunication #visualfacilitation #agile #scrumprofessionals #visualprofile

Dear Scrum Masters, when you join a NEW Team or Organization, remember: Not Every Perceived Problem Needs Emmidiate Solution: watch the video below and learn 👇👇👇

You are familiar and experienced with Scrum for sure but... Do you feel the real beauty of Scrum? Or do you feel that this can't be it and lack joy? It just isn't what you expected it to be. If you do not feel the beauty of Scrum yet, my LeSS course might bring insights in what's missing. All attendees to the my extended, highly interactive, in-person Large-Scale Scrum courses report enlightenment on what Scrum really should be and could be. Nobody ever looks at Scrum the same way as they did before. You'll get insights into organisations that used the learnings acquired to grow employee engagement, evolved to an environment without destructive politics, enable data driven strategy execution and as Vaclav mentioned (CEO Y Soft) grow their business 400%.
