Reflecting on Last Year’s Success
Last year, Tech Cornwall hosted their first Agile & Scrum Foundation-accredited workshop ahead of Agile on the Beach. With a 100% pass rate, attendees gained valuable insights into Agile principles and Scrum practices. Led by Phil Marshall, Agile Coach, the workshop included interactive exercises like LEGO-based sprints to bring concepts to life.
This milestone event highlighted Tech Cornwall’s commitment to professional development, and we’re excited to bring even more value to this year’s attendees.
