As my RAF career comes to a close, I’ve delved into project management disciplines, embracing Scrum and Agile, a departure from the military’s values.
This transition, resonating with my beliefs, has been profound. I invested resettlement training days and Enhanced Learning Credits in a remote Certified Scrum Master (CSM) course, swiftly earning my CSM Certification, thanks to Simon Roberts‘ exceptional teaching.
Using industry-standard tools, we collaboratively worked through interactive sessions that facilitated the research and discovery of core Scrum principles and practices, concluding in a sprint activity and retrospective design session.
All who discover the CSM should understand that this is a great first step, but many more must follow to unlock your full potential in this line of work.
Beyond the training, I have linked with Jon Spruce, who is mentoring me through the next steps. Although my Agile journey is still in its infancy, I have connected with many Agile practitioners and Coaches within the wider Agile community who are steadfast in sharing their views and practices.
Jon has overhauled my entire professional development portfolio and facilitated the generation of a development plan so that I can use my time and money efficiently while transitioning from the Armed Forces into the civilian world of work.
