Martin Hinshelwood brings over 20 years of technical and organisational transformation experience to this Scrum.org course. You'll benefit from real-world stories, practical examples from actual engagements, and technical depth that goes beyond generic agile theory.

**Immersive Learning Format**: Our default delivery is 7 weekly 2-hour sessions with offline assignments between sessions. You'll apply concepts to your real organisational challenges, bring results back for discussion, and build lasting capability through spaced repetition and practical application. This format creates better outcomes than traditional 2-day intensives.

**Traditional Format Available**: For organisations requiring faster delivery, we offer a condensed 2-day format. While less time for real-world application between sessions, it still includes hands-on exercises and Martin's practical insights.

**Small Class Sizes**: Better interaction, personalisation, and opportunity to discuss your specific challenges.

**Post-Course Support**: Access to ongoing learning resources and community.
