Program Cost -
This is an Agilemania community outreach program and so there are no charge associated with this.The candidate however will have to share the costs incurred when involving external coaches and trainers.
Why We do it -
There is no end to learning, but there are many beginnings. ? Tim Johnson.
Naveen started this initiative with the aim of guiding Scrum coaching enthusiasts in 2016.
The idea of Agile 30 was born when Naveen attending the Global Scrum Gathering, Bangalore, 2016 realised that a vast majority attending was looking for guidance on becoming coaches/trainers, looking for coaching opportunity, training assignments or wondering what to do next in agile space etc. This realisation coupled with Naveen’s passion for enabling people, his thirst for new learnings and an opportunity to pay forward, paved way for Agile 30.
This is not a commercial platform but a platform where knowledge will be shared and learning will be for the love of Scrum!
