The BIG Announcement! Two Days Late. Life Goes On.

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

Hi all.

Well, I am a few days behind and THANK YOU everyone who has been prodding me to make this announcement.

It is a big deal, I think.

So.

Without further ado…

I will be giving away all my CSM course materials over the year.

FREE.

Yes, there will be some limitations (like actually selling it to others without attributions and such).

But.

Or.

And.

Look at this as part one of “open sourcing” my Certified ScrumMaster materials to the Scrum Community.

And, I promise to let you know more too (smile).

Karma.

It works in all directions.  And I can only be one person at one place in the world.

Time to share.  Let’s all do this nicely and see where it leads.  It is a huge leap of trust on my part.

Your turn!

Please let me know your thoughts on this….

Thank you.

    Bang! Wow! What a deal, Mike! This is a powerful statement of trust and confidence in the community you serve.

    I can’t wait to here the licensing details and how we can benefit together.

  2. Sven Cipido Says:

    I think this would be great. I also try to share my info through my blog to the community (more about TFS, but it’s the same). So when I write a little tool for me I will publish it with the code.

    Looking forward to see your CSM material.

    A big thanks

  3. Jackie Says:

    I think that this is a wonderful idea! I hope that by doing this the process gets out there to more people!

  6. andrezero Says:

    bang! … been busy with a product release within a non-scrum org…argh… almost forgot about your anouncement.

    looking forward for your materials and ways to contribute.

  7. Tripp Says:

    Of course this is a great idea. An idea that has been proven in the past several times over. Ford Motor company survived the great depression by giving their employees huge raises, when most other companies were downsizing. IBM became the giant it is today by giving away software to sell hardware. Sharing knowledge to invests in all of us. There is strength in numbers.
