Scrum Master training
I am now a Certified Scrum Master after attending two days of training down in Costa Mesa. The class was given by Michael James from Danube Technologies. The class was very practical and pragmatic, as befits training for an agile process in my opinion.

We didn’t know what we wanted to do yesterday, so we finally decided to go to Pasadena; we wanted to go to the Burlington Coat Factory there (we’d heard it was a large store) and the Norton Simon Museum to see the Vermeer that’s on loan. So, we dropped the dog off with Jeff, our […]
