Have you ever been excited because you learned new skills but then struggled to put them to use on a project quickly? This article tells the story of how the Silicon Valley Project Management (SVPM) gives me the opportunity to apply and strengthen my Agile Scrum skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a product owner in my previous role, I focused on delivering value to our customers and to our business.  I had a product vision and strategy, and I maintained a feature backlog. Our team accounted for value and effort when prioritizing features in the next release. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In job transition during Covid-19, I earned Product Owner and Scrum Master certifications via the Scrum Alliance.  I realized that, although my previous team was somewhat agile, following the Scrum process adds key enhancements and structure.  Since then, I have sought numerous ways to immerse myself in agile development through Meetups, conferences, or communities of practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joining SVPM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Recently, a friend of mine invited me to participate in the Silicon Valley Project Management group.  Since joining, I was assigned to a Scrum team that maintains this website.   I actively engaged in the process that I had learned about in the Scrum certification classes solidifying concepts and appreciating nuances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We engaged in the Scrum ceremonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
