Some meetings are effective and achieve their desired outcomes, but often meetings are not managed as effectively as they could be leading to lost productivity and poor results.

Until recently, the predominant agile certification has been the Scrum Alliance Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) credential. Recently however, the PMI instituted a new certification called the “PMI Agile Certified Practitioner” (PMI-ACP).

The questions most professionals are asking now include, “What are the differences between the CSM and PMI-ACP credentials?”

  • “What are the benefits of each?”
  • “Which one is right for me?”

In this webinar, Certified Scrum Trainer and Agile Certified Practitioner, Jimi Fosdick, (LinkedIn profile) PMI-ACP, CST answers these questions and more, and gives attendees guidance on where to look for more information.

Topics will include:

  • The value of each certification and what each tells a prospective employer about you
  • The requirements for earning each certification
  • The basic structure of each certification exam
  • The kinds of questions you’re likely to see
  • How to prepare

Presented by: Training Magazine
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

“Boring”. “Tedious”. “Painful”. “Do I have to?” These are the moans and complaints of learners as receivers of the data-dump type of very technical and compliance forms of eLearning.

Technical and compliance elearning can be fun and definitely help people learn when we shift the design by focusing less on just the technical view and instead, considering the learner’s perspective. This webinar will present ideas on how to make this shift possible.

Topics to cover:

  • Kill the myth that technical and compliance elearning have to be boring
  • Persuade technical writers or experts to shift focus: from technical to learner’s view
  • Assess your program’s point of view to achieve a high impact response
  • Locate “context-driven content” – those that add usefulness to procedures, policies, software, guides, assistive tools, forms, statistics, legal and citations, etc.
  • Discover, focus and use “work around” content – troubleshooting, incidents, crisis, defects, rejects, returns, complains, etc.
  • Use techniques to engage learners: cases, scenarios, applications
  • Converttechno-geek and legalese language into understandable, digestible form for non-technical people
  • Demos and examples of engaging technical and compliance programs
  • To be received in advance:PRE-WEBINAR STUDY KIT, white papers, demos and examples
