Slow start but once we got rolling it was great. I've been able to make immediate change in organization around executing scrum. I now feel like I really know what I'm doing as a scrum master lol. Something important occurred to me during the course though. There is so much content to cover in the two days. It's hard for the instructor call out the finer details that scrum masters will certainly need when "in the trenches" (ie. how to handle insights gained from retrospectives). It really benefited me to have been in the role for 6 months before attending the class. I was able ask key questions to enrich my experience. Without it the course would have been less valuable. So maybe there should be a suggestion that students spend some time in the role before taking the course. Or there can be a more poignant effort to provide absolute essential "nuggets" in addition to teaching scrum.
