Got “Special Treatment” at the Canadian Border. Eh?!

Interested in becoming a Certified ScrumMaster? Come to my next workshop!

Good evening all.

Fear not, our “regular” comic strips will be continuing soon at the site. Tony (our artist) is taking some well-earned downtime with his family and if anything, Dominic (my son) will get us something to fill in next week.

So this week I am in Vancouver for a few days. I travel a lot (duh) and have been to over 25 countries. First time in Canada. For some reason my passport did not play well with their system. Spent over an hour in their “special room.” No strange probes in my exit only places. Just funny and humorous “Strange Brew” accents; which I actually did not mind with the hot babes doing the inquiries. O well. Life of a world traveler (smile).

So today I taught Day One of the CSM course. About 20 people, most of whom met for the first time. I actually recorded the output of one of the simulations I do, and will post it for you to view tomorrow night.

It is nothing exciting, but it does show you what total strangers can put together using Scrum in a simulated environment. They will not win any youtube video awards… but for regular readers, this will be interesting to see how different people produce totally different products from the same Product Backlogs. I may continue doing this with my public classes in the future…. fun stuff and good for learning.

I did not create a video of the debrief of the session; each one is different for each class. And I hope we can learn from what we see moving forward.

Have a great evening.

Am headed to Phoenix Wednesday morning to teach on Thursday and Friday.

Fun week.

Smile and I hope your Monday was awesome!

Thank you!
