| | Jennifer | It was a chance meeting at a Meetup event that I met Larry who casually mentioned his workshop. I was stalled and struggling in my job search and floundered in an interview when I forgot key agile terms I've known for years. When Larry mentioned the Agile Scrum class, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to shake off the cob webs and try to discover where my knowledge gaps resided.
On the first day, I was surprised to find that Larry was volunteering his time specifically to help those in the middle of a job search, using a skill he was passionate about.
From this class I not only reinforced what I already knew, but learned so much more. The icing on the top was the opportunity to exercise my project management skills, network with others of same and varied situations. I also appreciated the guest speakers.
As fulfilling as the opportunity was, some things on my wish list would be some exercises to demonstrate the methodology. There was one about weighing story points that I found helpful and would have liked to have one or two others.
Because of the format of the class, having alumni come back on the last day to share what they have done to progress in their job search and application of what they learned in class.
The coupling of meetup with TJH opens up opportunity to futher networking with those looking to further their professional goals.
Lastly, I wish there were follow up courses or engagement to continue after the workshop is completed.
Thank you Larry for all your effort |
