Something New I'm Considering Building

Over the past few months, I’ve been quietly researching a shift that’s happening inside organizations everywhere. And honestly, the more I looked into it, the more I realized someone needs to talk about this.

Scrum is no longer just for software teams.
Marketing departments are running sprints. HR teams are experimenting with backlogs. Operations teams, healthcare administrators, even government units are showing up to daily standups.

And I think that’s wonderful. I really do.

But here’s the problem that keeps bothering me.

Almost every Scrum course out there on Udemy, Coursera, you name it – still teaches Scrum through the lens of software development. Every example involves code. Every scenario assumes you know what a developer does.

So if you don’t build software? You’re left sitting there trying to translate everything in your head. Trying to connect abstract technical examples to the marketing campaign you’re running or the hiring process you’re managing.

And that translation? It’s exhausting. It shouldn’t have to be that way.

The Course Idea

I’ve been thinking about building something with a working title of:

Agile Without the Jargon: Scrum for Non-Technical Teams

It would be short. Focused. Around 90 minutes. No coding. No certification prep. No technical overload.

Instead, everything would be translated into real-world contexts that actually make sense to you:

Marketing campaign launches
HR hiring processes
Operations planning
Healthcare administration
Government projects

The goal is beautifully simple:

Help you walk into your next sprint meeting feeling confident about what’s happening and what your role is.

That’s it. That’s what this is about.

Who This Is Really For

I’ve started calling these people the “involuntary Agile participants.” And I say that with so much love, because I’ve seen their faces in meetings.

You didn’t ask for Scrum. Nobody came to your desk and said, “Hey, would you like to try this?” It was simply introduced to your department one day. And now you’re sitting in meetings hearing words like backlog, refinement, increment, and sprint review, wondering if everyone else understands this or if they’re just nodding along too.

Here’s what I want you to know: you are good at your job. You just don’t want to feel lost anymore. And you shouldn’t have to.

This course would focus on:

What Scrum actually means in plain English
What each role looks like outside of IT
How to write user stories for non-software work
How to set up a simple board for your team
What you should actually do in each meeting

Plus practical templates and a “Scrum Jargon Translator” cheat sheet you can keep on your desk.

The transformation I’m aiming for:
From confused meeting spectator to confident contributor. In 90 minutes.

I Need Your Honest Feedback

Before I build this, I want to validate something real.

If you work outside software, would this actually help you? Would your team benefit from something like this? Or does it feel unnecessary?

I’m not looking for polite encouragement. I’m looking for truth. Please tell me in the comments.

Founding Member Access for $19

If enough of you say this resonates, I will build it.

For those who want to get in early, I’m opening a small Founding Member group. For just $9, you get:

60% lifetime discount on the full course when it launches
Early access before public release
Your input into the examples and templates I create
Immediate access to the first downloadable toolkit
Full refund guarantee if you change your mind

This is not a pre-order. It’s a way for me to validate real demand and involve you in shaping something that could genuinely help people.

I’ll cap it at a limited number of spots so I can personally review every piece of feedback.

Why a Paid Waitlist?

Because paid waitlists measure real intent.

If 100 people comment “interested,” that’s nice, but it doesn’t tell me much. If 25 people put down $19, that tells me something real. That tells me this matters.

Not Sure Yet?

That’s completely okay. Just tell me what you think of the idea. Your honest feedback will determine whether this becomes a reality.

Let’s test it together.

And if you do pay and for whatever reason I decide not to build it, you will get your money back. I promise. Don’t worry about that.

Update 2/21/2026
