Hi,
Just wanted to let you know I will be in Boston teaching a CSM Class next week in Boston. If you are interested, please contact me offline! I may also be available for a pub run on Wednesday evening too (smile).
Thank you.

Hi all.
Well I have done quite a bit of traveling around this great planet of ours, and a lot of time spent in the clouds (thinking of course while I fly to destinations afar).
So, tomorrow you are going to see something that I did not think I’d ever see.
We’ll start with the cartoon and try to turn a story around it related to Scrum — something you all know I am good at doing.
And the next night I will send you the inspiration for the cartoon this week.
Wow.
Inspirational?
I hope so LOL.
Thank you,

Hola.
I have a few seats open for a CSM Workshop in New Mexico this week. See www.michaelvizdos.com for more info.
I’ll finish blogging about what I started last week tomorrow.
I promise.
Thanks for hanging with me.

OK.
I am overwhelmed right now.
So I am going to admit I am human (smile) and will post a new cartoon next week.
The good news is I have had a GREAT week working with teams and learning tons.
About a lot of things.
My apologies.

… if anyone is interested in meeting for breakfast or dinner I’ll be on the road this week.
M-T-W in Hartford, CT (Actually Windsor)
T in Portland, Maine.
Let me know. Individually or in small groups… let me know!
Thank you,

Hi all,
Well, as I write this I am sitting in a hotel room in wonderment of the airline system in the USA. Guess I will get home tomorrow morning. I had a great class this week in Chicago and, as usual, I learned a lot. It was a great class with a lot of interesting and challenging questions.
And.
I think I received a really great complement.
“This is one of the only classes I have never fallen asleep in.”
Was this good?
Or was it a slam?
Personally, seeing the engagement of this person during the class over two days, I was impressed with his engagement and participation levels. This person has been in the industry for many more years than I have, and he added a lot of value to the class.
I am taking it as a complement (smile).
Assume positive intent.
Heh.
So…. Next week I will be presenting another CSM workshop in Oklahoma City on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you are interested, we have a few seats left and I am always open to having others attend. If you cannot attend and would be interested in meeting before or after the class, please contact me off this blog and we can see if something can be set up.
I am happy it is Friday.
I am happy tomorrow afternoon I will be home hanging with my kids and wife.
Spring is coming in Richmond, VA.
Sounds like a cookout at my house tomorrow night.
And there is some great stuff coming next week.
As usual.
Hope you have a great weekend — or, if you are reading this on Monday — welcome to Monday morning!
Thank you,

Hi all,
I am on a train right now writing this and my internet connection is somewhat spotty, and by the time I get to where I am headed… well… I will try to sleep (smile).
So, you will see the next cartoon tomorrow. With a new guest blogger!
It is a great one. Something that made me think.
And.
I hope it does that for you too!
Have a great day or evening.

PS –> Want to “follow me” on Twitter? I am trying it out to see if people really do read about the details of personal lives that people are willing to share. Let me know and see my stuff at twitter.com/mvizdos.
Hi,
[Sales voice on…. sorry gotta make a living! But keep reading as you may actually be able to meet me in person without paying a dime (maybe a beer or two!)]
I will be up on the upper east side of Manhattan on Monday and Tuesday this coming week (St. Patty’s day!) teaching a CSM Workshop.
If you are interested, please contact me or visit www.michaelvizdos.com/enroll to sign-up.
If you know anyone who is interested in a fun workshop (and you cannot go) — please pass along this information to them… Actually, either way, please pass this on to people who may be interested [thank you]!
Oh, and if you are reading this from someone who passed this along TO you (or if you have not done so already)…
Please Subscribe to Implementing Scrum by Email and receive any new comics or other announcements we publish on a regular basis.
Now for some inside information…
I am in the process of booking an ADDITIONAL nine or ten public CSM Workshops around North America right now (that’s in addition to those already listed at www.michaelvizdos.com/enroll) ) — so if you do not see one near you yet check back often or let me know if you’d like to book a private class in your organization!
You can also keep your eye on the left sidebar of www.implementingscrum.com for a list of my upcoming public appearances and workshops.
[Sales voice off, thank you for reading this!]
Eek. I really do hate sales talk. Sorry about that.
Now… for the FREE stuff… See… Aren’t you glad you read this far??
Also, as usual, I’ll make the offer to meet anyone reading this outside the class if we can make the timing work.
If you are interested, please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi,
Just wanted to let you know that the comic strip and blog entry this week is going to hit a nerve.
It did.
With me.
Be prepared for a reality check.
Sometimes life just throws them at you.
Thank you,

Hi all,
OK. So I am not as geeky as I used to be. Especially to some of you reading this blog. But. Um. Errrr…. Uh…. I still code for fun, does that count? And. I work with teams and actually can code when I need to do that?!?!?!?
This coming week will be a three-city-tour for me.
On Monday and Tuesday I am teaching a CSM Workshop in Portland, Oregon. I have a seat or two left if you are interested — see www.michaelvizdos.com/enroll to sign up if you are local or want to hop on a plane there 
. Or drop me an email and I can offer you a discount for responding to this notice. Discounts are always good. I hope.
On Monday evening I will be meeting with a small group of APLN and other agile people at about 7:30PM local time…. good time for networking and drinking beer or whatever and talking about Scrum or not. If you’d like to attend the “meeting” please contact me off this list.
Wednesday and Thursday I will speaking at a conference (www.sdexpo.com). I’ll send more info later this week about my topic (funs stuff) and if you are interested in meeting please contact me off this list.
I hope you all have a great remainder of the weekend, or — if you are reading this on Monday morning — well…. welcome to Monday! Tony and I have a great comic strip coming to you — as usual — on Monday evening (where ever I am in the world!).
Thank you.
