Training
Learn by doing
I've spent 20 years watching teams build the wrong thing, then scramble to explain why. My training is designed to break that cycle. Every course is hands-on, grounded in real product challenges, and built around the frameworks that hold up in the field.
Whether you need a whole team certified in scrum, a department speaking the same agile language, or product people who know how to decide what to build, there's a path here. Every course is available as a private cohort for your organization, on-site or live online, and several run as public classes in Colorado.

Scrum Alliance® Certifications and Micro-credentials
Recognized credentials, taught by a practitioner
Phase Won is a Scrum Alliance Licensed Training Partner. Every course below ends in an official Scrum Alliance credential and a two-year membership, and every one is taught live, with exercises drawn from real product work. Most organizations now expect more than half their employees to work using agile-related skills, so the catalog covers whole teams, not just the people with agile in their title.
Certification
Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®)
The most recognized scrum credential. Two hands-on days on the framework, the three accountabilities, the events and artifacts, and the scrum master's real job.
