Training description:

What is Professional Agile Leadership Essentials™ (PAL-E) training?

Professional Agile Leadership Essentials™ is an accredited training from Scrum.org, based on hands-on exercises, during which managers and leaders of agile teams will understand how to best support and teach teams and organization to create the desired environment for agility.

In an agile organization, leaders, managers, supervisors and members of agile teams are required to change the way they manage and measure work results. Agile teams might not be able to do it on their own. Help is needed from the organization. The way people think about how they approach work needs to become agile. Better results can be achieved by unifying goals and the ways of working.

During the training, participants delve into the role that leaders play in creating the proper environment for agility. The role of leader and manager in an agile organization can be very different from what leaders are used to. Through team exercises, participants will learn how to initiate and support agile teams to achieve better results and how to lead change in the area of organizational culture that must be introduced to bring the organization closer to agile product delivery.

Who’s behind this?

Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland are considered to be Scrum’s fathers, although the approach itself is based on self-organizing teams, popularized by the famous publication “The New New Product Development Game” written by Hirotaka Takeuchi and Ikujiro Nonaka, published in the Harvard Business Review in 1986.

Over 300 Scrum.org trainers around the world every day support the development of management by organizing practical training, learning through games, workshops and effective practices.

  • They make it easier, help to work out solutions, giving the team the right space, both time and place, as well as the oppressive atmosphere conducive to work on the areas of decision-making. This helps to develop decisions from the bottom up in such a way that the areas of decision-making remain among people and not the decision maker.

  • All set of workshops was inspiring. Specifically, I would like to work with the team more closely, get to know them better. For example, run the moving motivators game. Also, a common definition of our goals or OKRs seem to have great potential.

  • Znałem ćwiczenia, czytałem książki a mimo to gorąco polecam udział w szkoleniu. Masa inspiracji i ciekawych dyskusji.

  • Podchodząc do tematu szkolenia dla produkt managera miałem wiele wątpliwości. Wszystkie punkty z mojej listy pomógł mi rozwiązać Pan Daniel. Nikt z konkurencji nie potrafił skutecznie zaproponować mi targetowanego szkolenia... dopiero kontakt z firmą Valkir Academy pozwolił poczuć mi się komfortowo. Wszystkim polecam szkolenie gdyż:

    • jest realizowane przez praktyka
    • jest poparte ciekawymi przykładami
    • pozwala przygotować się do roli product ownera
    • coach potrafi precyzyjnie kierować szkoleniem (elastycznie je dopasowywać) jeżeli wymaga tego sytuacja tzn. nie trzyma się twardych, założonych ram programowych
    • przygotowuje niespodzianki z zakresu omawianego tematu takie jak dodatkowe symulacje

    Wszystkim polecam szkolenia w tej firmie, nie tylko z uwagi na atrakcyjny program ale również z uwagi na bardzo konkurencyjna cenę i indywidualne podejście do klienta.
