After taking on a product owner role at a previous employer, without much orientation, I was looking to formalize my agile experience through a scrummaster certification. The Job Hackers provided a free, first-class learning experience that prepared me for the PSM I, exceeded my expectations and introduced me to a tremendously helpful community of motivated professionals. While the core curriculum would benefit from the addition of some more interactive facilitation techniques (Larry's methods consist of almost entirely of presentation followed by Q&A), the content is expansive and practical. I do strongly recommend that anyone participating in TJH sign up for the optional in-person meetups/activities or some other supplemental opportunity to actually practice SCRUM ceremonies as that will ground the course in lived experience that more closely resembles the work environment. Thanks to The Job Hackers course, I was able to identify places where my previous teams had, in retrospect, modified SCRUM roles or colored outside the lines, and then to reflect on why. That let me bring way more insight and a day-1 framework to a new product manager position. If you're looking for a first-class professional skills upgrade during a period of unemployment or under-employment, or a are looking to make a switch in roles, The Job Hackers will save you $2000 and teach you a ton. Just be prepared for some early mornings and an extensive reading list. This is the type of workforce development nonprofit that the world needs way more of. |
