Training

Agile / Scrum

Net Objectives has the most comprehensive and effective approach to preparing teams for the transition to Agile methods. While most Agile training companies focus on the Scrum Master, we focus on the team. Our team-based training enables your teams to transition to effectiveness. We also offer Scrum Master and Product Champion Certification courses when appropriate.

We also offer a variety of tools-based training, particularly MS VSTS and VersionOne.

A note on our team focus: We don’t believe the correct approach to creating effective teams in Scrum is to provide a Certified Scrum Master course to the team. To our mind, this is akin to teaching a team to play football by teaching everyone how to be a football coach. Instead, you need to teach the team to play football, and have one person be trained as the coach. While we can provide Scrum Master certification, we strongly feel this training should be given to those who will be coaches, not team members.
