Hi All, I’m new here – I just listened to Charlene’s talk the other day about creating working agreements (very helpful and worth listening to you if you don’t have experience creating team working agreements (I can post the link if anyone is interested). I then connected with Charlene on LinkedIn and she invited me to join here.

I haven’t had time to set up all my profile yet as most of what I do is on LinkedIn… I am happy to connect for those who are interested.

I wasn’t planning to mention this, but since it’s Saturday and I’m working on getting ready for Tuesday and I am just in the process of joining here – I’ll go ahead and mention it. So far this year while I am in-between positions (looking for remote Scrum Master position) I have been doing some free exam prep coaching – primarily Scrum .org’s Professional Scrum Master I (PSM1) certification, as well as PSM2 , and Atlassian’s Jira ACP-620 (Managing Projects for Jira Cloud).

If anyone here has their CSM or PSM1 and wants to get PSM2 but has held off due to how hard it sounds — if you’re willing to set aside about 3-7 hours per week for the next few weeks, I have a (free) PSM2 exam prep group that starts on Tuesday. Details here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/christopher-maxwell-a59603240_scrummasters-scrum-certification-activity-7089351249141108737-4rnV Again, it’s free – I have no upsell or ulterior motive – just helping out. Only thing required is your time and self-commitment.

But don’t let the fact that I help people with certifications fool you into thinking I’ve arrived. The way I found Simple Agile was listening to a webinar about a topic I don’t have direct experience with (and I took careful notes and archived them as I plan to refer to those notes again in the future) — I am here to learn and looking forward to seeing what the Simple Agile community is all about…
