Virtual Agile Meetup with David Hawks, Bob Sarni and Michigan Technology Services

Michigan Technology Services offers instructor-led Agile and Scrum training and coaching. We collaborate with stellar people – like David Hawks and Bob Sarni, globally recognized Agile trainers and coaches.

In a pre-Covid world our training would take place at our location in the Farmington Hills/Novi area, 20 miles outside of Detroit, or at your location anywhere around the world. Our Agile workshops and Agile coaching sessions are now offered online/virtually, reducing your need to travel.

We continue to support the local Agile community and sponsor regional Agile conferences and meetups. We have successfully run Agile and Certified ScrumMaster, Product Owner and Agile Leadership courses for multiple teams from globally recognized organizations. We also provide Agile coaching for great companies, helping them with their Agile journey.

We are planning a series of free virtual meetups for our Agile friends.

Meetup with David Hawks and Bob Sarni – October 27, 2021

Intro to Path to Agility – an Outcome-Driven Agile Transformation Framework

About this virtual meetup

While many organizations operate in an Agile way, they are still not fully realizing Agile’s benefits. There has been tremendous focus on implementing all of the Agile practices without understanding if and how the various Agile frameworks, tools, and skills are driving results. Path to Agility is the solution to this growing problem. Path to Agility orients your Agile transformation around guiding business outcomes like speed, market responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. The Agile transformation framework then identifies the right Agile outcomes and capabilities that your organization should focus on to help you build your transformation roadmap.

David created the Path to Agility framework. He and Bob will provide an overview and will then have a discussion with us, answering some of your questions. We expect a great conversation.

Student Successes

  • The Certified ScrumMaster and Certified Scrum Developer courses that Michigan Technology Services set up for our organization were great. The instructors (Mark and Angela) were outstanding.

    - SF, Senior Software Developer – Hewlett Packard Enterprise

  • The instructors were top notch and made the courses exciting. I have taken Cisco CCNA, Linux and SQL admin classes and I find myself using the knowledge gained every day. If you value getting quality content that will be relevant for years to come, take these courses with Michigan Technology Services.

    - SP, Detroit Network Team Manager – Global Advertising Company

  • I have taken the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster and Product Owner classes from Michigan Technology Services and thoroughly enjoyed the class content and instructors. I found the ScrumMaster class particularly engaging and energizing as the instructor was top notch. Both classes fueled my passion for agile project management and team dynamics which I have used to drive change in the way my department executes and thinks about running software development projects. I highly recommend Robert and his company.

    - Daniel King, Senior Project Manager – AAA Michigan – Auto Club Group

  • In February of 2015, the Detroit Housing Commission reached out to Michigan Technology Services to request Microsoft Office Excel training for the staff. Within a few days, Rob was able to set up the services at a very reasonable expense. The trainer was superb, knowledgeable and very patient with the students.  It was one of the best trainings that we have ever had.

    - De’Onna Henderson, Director of Asset Management – Detroit Housing Commission

  • We had an excellent experience working with Rob at Michigan Technology Services. He went above and beyond helping us to design three days of onsite customized SharePoint training for our associates. The trainer was beyond knowledgeable and instrumental in the success of the project. If customized training is what you are looking for, we are confident that you need not look any further than MTS for your business training needs.
