Full Description

At the end of the week, teams have not only been trained in the appropriate process, but have created their product backlog and, if doing Scrum, their first Sprint backlog. Follow up coaching is provided on the following schedule (if doing Scrum this assumes a 2-week sprint):

1 day remote coaching 1 week after the course
2 days on-site two weeks after the course (this will correspond with the end of the first sprint if doing Scrum)
1 day remote coaching each of the next 3 weeks

Our experience has shown that this is sufficient to get a team up and running with either Kanban or Scrum.
