2022- Where has the Time Gone?

I started this blog with the best of intentions, and planned to document my journey to CST on a weekly basis. Somehow work, life, and the remnants of COVID have distracted me from my mission, and I realized last week that this needed to change! I've honestly never been much of a "journaler" throughout my life, but I really admire those people who dedicate a time each day to share their thoughts with the world. On that note, I'm pledging to be better moving forward. :)

Back in April, I attended my CSPO (Certified Scrum Product Owner) course with Lizzy Morris (linkedin.com/in/youragilelady), who taught an awesome 2-day class that gave me more detailed knowledge of Product Ownership. The class was interactive and fun, and I highly recommend her as a trainer if anyone is looking to pursue this certification.

Last week, I had the pleasure of attending my first Scrum Alliance Global Scrum Gathering in Denver, Colorado, USA. While I wasn't able to attend in person this year, I participated in many great sessions, including:

• 5 Levers for Lasting Culture Change- Karim Harbott
• What's in Your Agile Suitcase?- Lindy Quick/Leah Burman
• ROCKING Remote Retrospectives- Kate McGraw/Anu Smalley
• Agile in Theatre: Lessons from the Creative Field- Jona Rens
• Increasing Virtual Team Engagement with High Impact Visuals- Kristi Meredith

I'm really looking forward to attending next year's conference in Person, and to continue my growth on my Path to CST. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope that everyone has a wonderful remainder of your week!
