Many, many thanks to Mat Walker  for organising Certified Scrum Master training in Brighton that I just did.  

It was two full days of interesting material, ideas and practical activities, skillfully presented by Nigel Baker of Agile Bear, who kept it alive and fun.  Scrum is intriguing, I was expecting something a lot more technical and exact, but Scrum comes across as human scale, pragmatic and full of common sense.  These must be the right things for managing projects full of change.

Left me with a lot to think about and a desire to find a team and a project and try it all out. 

And, good news, Mat is thinking about organising another course in Brighton.  Sign up here for more information.

It was run at the new Skiff location in Gloucester Street, off the north lanes. Fantastic place.

Oh, yes, and I'm now a Certified Scrum Master.

Instead, have a look at the video over at Caroline Lucas' website for video and text of the speech.

I'm heading back to the UK after a month and a bit in Australia, so will be back coworking and hanging out in the usual Brighton places, and looking forward to catching up with folk after this unexpected trip.

There are a few blog posts to add in here, they are queued up in development.  I've been making notes but not really getting into finishing stuff off.  They will come in their own good time.
