If you’re reading this, you’ve already crushed the two‑day Agile & Scrum Activation Bootcamp. Bravo. Now it’s time to convert that spark into a wildfire that spreads across teams—and the fastest way is together.
Solo heroes run out of steam; paired enablers compound energy. From Day 1 you and your counterpart will:
Co‑plan every experiment (two brains, fewer blind spots).
Quiz each other daily during study sprints—rapid feedback beats lonely cramming.
Rotate lead/support roles in workshops so both of you build facilitation muscle.
Debrief immediately after each event to lock in learning.
Treat the partnership as your own micro‑Scrum Team: transparency, inspection, adaptation.
(Work several in parallel; agility thrives on overlapping feedback loops.)
PSM‑I: Two Minds, One Certificate
Run a two‑week study sprint—85 % of pairs pass on the first attempt. Challenge each other daily, complete the question bank, sit the mock exam, the real exam, celebrate the double pass.
Lunch‑and‑Learns—Powered by Two
Target 30‑minute sessions that draw an average of 15 colleagues each.
Forge a Team Agreement with Your Squad
Leave with a one‑page canvas and three measurable working agreements, Definition of Done—captured in Miro or on a wall.
Gift that Agreement Magic to Another Team
Their follow‑up pulse survey should score ≥ 4.5 / 5 for alignment and clarity.
Run Retrospectives—First Yours, Then Theirs
Start weekly or bi‑weekly. Alternate who leads vs observes. After three in‑house sprints, shadow and then steer retros for a neighbouring team.
Visualise Work with Kanban & Prioritisation
Spend an afternoon standing up the board; invest 15 minutes daily pruning WIP. Invite the other team to your first board‑walk. Expect to cut team WIP by ~30 % within four weeks.
Co‑train the Next Bootcamp
By month three you’ll be ready to step onto the facilitator mat. Shadow a seasoned trainer, co‑debrief, gather NPS, refine your style.
Time commitment?
Plan on ~6–7 hours a week during peak periods, tapering to ~2 once rituals hum—roughly 10–15 % of a working week for a 12‑week runway.
Even the most committed pairs will hit bumps in the road. Below are the seven obstacles we see most often—and the proven manoeuvres that keep momentum alive.
BAU time‑crunch. Enablement blocks inevitably collide with day‑job KPIs. Secure your manager’s sponsorship commitment up‑front and ring‑fence calendar space before the diary fills up.
Teaching jitters. That inner voice whispers, “Who am I to lecture peers?” Defuse it by co‑presenting, rehearsing together, and leaning on the provided decks until your confidence catches up with your competence.
Post‑Bootcamp dip. Energy can nosedive once the exam glow fades. Plug into the weekly Agile Shindigs and anchor visible OKRs to your team metrics so progress stays both social and measurable.
Cross‑team scheduling. Diaries rarely align—especially across markets. Switch to asynchronous canvases and secure leadership air‑cover when live slots are scarce.
“Agile is a fad” chorus. Legacy mindsets push back hard. Counter with micro‑wins on Workplace and invite sceptics to observe a real‑time success story.
Hybrid hurdles. Cameras off and patchy bandwidth derail engagement. Default to digital boards and record key sessions so nobody is left behind.
Documentation drag. Writing case studies can feel heavy. Snap screenshots and harvest quotes in the moment; stitch the narrative later when the story tells itself.
Each practice you run together feeds the next: Demonstrate → Invite → Amplify → Reflect → Repeat. Keep the flywheel spinning with fortnightly storytelling, and watch agility become contagious.
Graduation isn’t a finish line—it’s a launch pad to coach the next wave. Brew that virtual tea, post your first story, and step onto the path together.
