He has been a speaker at multiple meetups, Agile Tour, and XP Conference.
Title of presentation: Professionalising the Scrum Master Role
Jan has set out to professionalize the Scrum Master role and competency development. In this session, he will share lessons learned and challenges encountered.
Why is this important for you?
In order for Agile to work to its fullest potential, Scrum Masters need to have the necessary competencies to support and challenge the organization. Still, this is not enough, as the Scrum Masters’ focus needs to be based on the organizational maturity of the organization to achieve maximum results. Misalignment between the two will keep the organization dead in the water, and self-orientated Scrum Masters will be seen as less valuable.
What you will learn:
In the session, you will learn how to effectively align Scrum Master's purpose and competency development with organizational maturity, which will enable you to communicate the focused effort to the organization. You will also learn the importance of building a strong community of practice within the Scrum Masters, to ensure continuous learning of Agile and Lean practices and various Scrum Master stances.
