I'm looking for recommendations for Agile PM training courses, online or classroom, preferably in the SF Bay Area. I currently work with several different delivery teams, most of whom are using some flavor of Agile methodology, and I want to improve my understanding of how PM works in the Agile world. Any info much appreciated.

I just posted a blog about a book I read that should help you with the transition from traditional PM to Agile. You can read it here.

If you desire training, I would recommend getting Scrum training which you can find in the SF area by going to the Scrum Alliance website. After the course you can take a brief exam (new requirement as completing the class in the past was enough) and you can obtain your ScrumMaster certification as well.

This could also be career enhancing. Good luck!

SCRUM training is a good starting point. A SCRUM Master would be good starting point. And SCRUM Alliance training is pretty good. All the best with your agile projects.

Yes I've heard very good things about scrum alliance also. The PMI is also creating a certification for it, so that may be something to look at.

I have heard that Scrum Alliance is good place, though I did my CSM at Inspect and Adapt (https://inspectandadapt.com/) which provides Scrum and Agile methodology courses. It is run by Geoff Watts, Certified Scrum Master trainer.
