Awesome day! Juan Palacio is an excellent speaker, and is so concerned in your learn process that you cannot *not* learn.
The Scrum Manager course is an approach to scrum that is different of everything I readed before. He focus in the management part, in how to manage your company / department and the relationships of them. All the books I readed in the subject focus in the scrum process himself or, at most, in the project management aspect of the task. Juan gives us a new point of view in management: applying the agile principles to the company as a whole.
While I was listening his speech, it occurs to me that I was doing something of this intuitively, as most of the scrum practices we do before even know what’s agility. This makes me think about a subject that was not investigated yet, the interaction between scrum packs and other groups organized with “traditional” approaches.
As I see, this is the next step of agility, in a path that is yet unknown but promisses much much more.
I’ll continue tomorrow, after the end of the course, and I hope I can publish some pics too.
