Our ScrumMaster training course in Minneapolis got off to a great start.

What an awesome scrummaster jam session we had

Jam works as a word because we were piled into the room was on the small side. The interesting thing was that a tight room caused a different synergy among participants. As a group of 13 we were able to stay more connected and work well together. With a small room we were easily able to hear each other and see detailed face expression which improved our communication bandwidth. After having done several of these types of trainings it was bit of a surprise at how a smaller room improved our ability to gel and connect. I have seen larger rooms with an extra 4+ ft of width and the same number of people. We were not able to connect as easily and we certainly did not achieve the same level of synergy.

Lesson learned, small rooms are tight but, they can help a team connect.

All the best
