[tlug] ScrumMaster training in Tokyo!

["Josh Glover" <jmglov@example.com>]

Some of you may have heard of the Scrum development / project
management methodology, which has been spreading like wildfire across
big companies (IBM, Google, Amazon, etc.) and small alike. According
to the Wikipedia article,[1] it was actually two Japanese blokes who
noted the similarities between successful project teams and successful
rugby teams; fitting now that Scrum has come full circle, with the
first ever ScrumMaster training course being offered in Tokyo!

Emerson Mills helped register the venue for the course, Tsuda Hall in Sendagaya.

If your team is already using Scrum, or you are interesting in
introducing Scrum to your company or team, this course should be well
worth taking.
