Toolkit for Agile Coaches & Scrum Masters
99 creative exercises & training formats
Are you an Agile Coach, Product Owner, Scrum Master, or are you in a similar facilitating role in an Agile organisation? Then this book was made especially for you! We are excited to announce our new book written by four agile experts from Prowareness, leveraging 20+ years of experience in the agile field and providing professionals with a practical guide to help accelerate agile transformations.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Many organizations are switching to an agile way of working. Usually by using Scrum or a similar alternative. But Scrum does not bring agility itself; after all, it’s just a framework. Ultimately, the core of agile working is formed by the people and their mutual interactions. What that looks like, however, and how you can best facilitate it, isn’t necessarily defined or described. That’s where this book comes into play.
This Toolkit for Agile Coaches and Scrum Masters contains 99 exercises that have proven themselves in practice. This book briefly, yet powerfully, described these exercises in such a way that you can get started immediately. It also includes tips, tricks, and potential pitfalls.
The book has now been on the market in The Netherlands for 10 months (launched on May 12, 2021) and if it is up to the first reviewers (who have left a review on Managementboek.nl), then ‘Toolkit for agile coaches and scrum masters’ is an absolute must-read and could be used as indispensable reference work for agile coaches or scrum masters.
A good read!
Discover how to use this book as your personal “Swiss Army Knife” as an Agile Coach, Scrum Master or Product Owner.
