Training and Support
There are several ways to get trained in playing the game: Take a one-hour kick-off training or buy the corporate edition which includes this training, or attend a public or in-house workshop.
I provide many services for assessing your agility and can help you to increase delivered value.
I want you to be successful. Hence, I provide Free Lifetime Support on everything that I do to help you using what I deliver it in your specific situation.
Kick-off Training for Agile Self-assessment Game
The kick-off training is a one-hour instructor-led remote workshop to play the Agile Self-assessment Game: Learn how to create the cards, prepare a game and play it with your teams.
After buying this service you will be contacted by me to plan the training and arrange everything. I’m normally available on short notice and am flexible regarding the time to accommodate what works for you.
The kick-off training can be extended to go deeper into the game and gamification. We can turn into a mini-workshop if you want to explore how to use this game as a tool for continuous improvement. Contact me and we’ll work it out :-).
This workshop is part of my remote coaching services. These remote services are provided using a video + audio connection (Skype or likewise) at a time that works for you and me.
