Holy cow….
Just confirmed that I will be teaching a course in Zurich (Switzerland for the geo-challenged) on April 16-17, 2009.
It will be an affordable European CSM class in a very unique setting with limited access.
Let me know if you are interested…
I may not even publicly say where it is located (it is THAT cool!). It’s not on my site yet but contact me for more info.
More later…
Just thought I’d share that with you as some late-breaking news for my European friends (or others who want to hit an uuuuuuber-cool place for a CSM class!).

Thanks for reading the latest blog entry at www.implementingscrum.com.
One of the things I hear a lot about (both inside and outside of our little industry in the world) is the differences between coaches, consultants, and mentors.
Which brought me back to a discussion I had a few years ago with John Snuggs (shout out!) who used to poke me about wearing my “Captain Obvious” hat.
Which then lead to the super-hero-wearing-ScrumMaster in the comic strip above.
And.
Then the elephant.
Huh?
What does that elephant represent?
In America, we talk about this thing called, “An elephant in the room” which is something reallllllllllly uncomfortable that everyone knows is there but is afraid to bring it up. Make sense?
Sooo… besides being the elephant in the room… what does Captain Obvious need to teach us about Scrum “Coaches” versus “Consultants” versus “Mentors”?
This could be one of those epic postings with me talking about the ins-and-outs of the three words and how they not only sound different — but in the real world ARE different.
So.
Question to you… and I will talk and post more about this… in the comments section write more about the good, the bad, and the ugly about the differences you see in either the people you hire, work with, or ARE.
Elephant recognized.
Let’s hear more about what this means to you. And your teams. And your organizations.
And of course… this is leading somewhere. It always does.
And it usually surprises even me (heh).
Time for Captain Obvious. Pointing out the elephant in the room.

…. umm. Gotta think of the right word.
How about this.
I am working with some other Scrum Trainers right now in preparing something that is so mind-blowing in our community that well, the repricussions may be felt around our little universe.
Really.
It is THAT big.
Our Sprint One on the project we are working on will be completed and ready to roll into Production — immediately following our first iteration — will be unveiled on January 5, 2009.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
Just as the journey to get us all here today has been fun — you WILL receive new tools and knowledge that has yet to be released into the wild.
Woot.
There will be a sign-up page for this coming soon.
So this list can continue concentrating on announcements and cartoons, while this new list will allow you to gain greater power, have better sex, and start changing the world.
OK.
So maybe not have better sex… but I always wanted to say that in a blog posting (smile).
More soon.
YOU ROCK!
Thank you,
