Training WorkshopsAt Trail Ridge Consulting, we understand how enterprise organizational structures impact development processes. Our approach combines working closely with your organizational leadership together with your development teams to align the organizational structures with the development process.

Trail Ridge believes in whole-team training workshops . To create empowered, disciplined and self-organizing teams, each team member must be equipped with the proper tools. This includes development team members, functional managers, product managers, executives and other key stakeholders. Our training programs are highly interactive and support the various roles and levels engaged in the software development life cycle.



Leading/Coaching Agile Organizations Master Workshop

In our introduction to how this course developed, we discussed the fact that the standard competencies of agile coaching – mentoring, facilitating, problem-solving, and conflict navigating – are essential, but simply not enough.

This workshop focuses on the coach’s role in engaging the leadership, the system, and the cultural layers of an organization to affect and sustain real change.

Scrum Team Workshop

These interactive team-based workshops provide a context rich experience in learning and applying Scrum.

Team is one of the most important fundamental principles in Scrum and often the one most overlooked and misapplied by organizations. Scrum was created because Teams solve problems better than individuals. But building effective teams (Scrum or not) is hard.

This workshop guides teams through experiencing Scrum together as a team with their "real-world" project data. Teams leaving the workshop take with them working release plan and sprint plan data to put into practice the very next day.
