Hi I’m Carlos Ceja.
I’m located in San Jose, CA. I’m here because I want to understand the scrum methodology more in depth. Also having a certification in it wouldn’t hurt. I’m looking to learn the overall scrum process better, I project manage UX design teams and I’m hoping this course will help me run my team in a more agile way, and also ensure we’re working with our PM and Developer partners in an agile way. I found this course through the scrum alliance website. I’m excited to learn!

3. To learn the “right” way to be agile, and beef up my resume.

Who are you? Bryant Siefken
Where are you located? Des Moines, IA
Why are you here?
I have been working in agile/scrum environments for about 3 years, but other than books and informal research, I don’t really have any organized formal training. I am hoping to start to remedy that with this course.
What are you looking to learn?
I want to gain deeper knowledge of the Product Owner role. As a business analyst, I have dealt with product owners, and I have captured their needs, but I want to learn more about understanding them and perhaps serving as a product owner myself.
What are you the most excited about in terms of our growing community?
Agile is the way the world is going in terms of software/systems delivery. I am most excited to be able to compare notes with people and learn how agile roles work with different environments, organizations, and business models.
