CodeLean Holds the First ScrumMaster Certification Course in the Philippines

MANILA, PHILIPPINES -- CodeLean, Inc. recently held the Philippines’ first ever ScrumMaster Certification Course at Dusit Hotel in Makati City. The course was a success, with attendees from as far as Dubai, UAE flying in to participate. Dutch Agile expert Bas Vodde headed the two-day event, which was a mix of lectures, discussions, and participatory exercises designed to inculcate the values and philosophies of Scrum into the course attendees.

After attending the course, the participants were well-versed with both the theoretical and practical knowledge of Scrum—from the concepts and philosophies of Scrum down to the implementation and application of Scrum principles, as well as technical tips and advice for specific cases and situations.

With the conclusion of the course CodeLean CEO Ole Ronberg hopes that Agile practices will start to become more widespread in the Philippines’ software development industry. “We definitely plan to hold more local seminars and courses about Agile and Scrum in the future.”
Aside from the ScrumMaster Certification Course, CodeLean has also sponsored an initiative named Agile Philippines to promote the usage of Agile methods and practices in the country.

Codelean Inc. Founds Agile Philippines

CodeLean promotes Agile and Scrum practices to local software companies

To promote the usage of Agile methods and practices in the Philippines, CodeLean, Inc. has sponsored an initiative aptly named Agile.ph. “The benefits will be huge for the local IT sector if Agile practices are adopted here, with the country being one of the world’s top software outsourcing destinations,” says Peter Andersen, CodeLean Scrum Master. Studies have shown that Agile methods improve companies’ ability to respond quickly to market and customer needs, cut down on inefficiency, and make employees happier and more productive.

The Philippines’ First ScrumMaster Certification Course
Agile.ph has hit the ground running by bringing in Dutch Agile expert Bas Vodde to head a two-day course on Scrum, an Agile methodology that deals with how projects are organized and planned. The course will be held in the Boardroom of the Dusit Hotel, Makati City on April 14 to 15, 2009. The Certified Scrum Master course covers the what, how, and whys of the Scrum framework for product development. The course will enlighten Filipino IT professionals about the theoretical and practical use of Scrum. Bas will conduct the course through stories and discussion, encouraging participants to actively learn by asking practical questions about how to apply Scrum in their particular situations.

“With this first big event, we hope that the Agile.ph movement gains momentum and starts to make Agile practices more widely used in the country,” says Ole Ronberg, CodeLean CEO.
