The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Planning Poker Fundamentals: rules, scales, and session preparation (Miro tools, PlanningPoker.com, facilitation)

Dive into the essential principles of Planning Poker, set up collaborative tools like Miro or PlanningPoker.com to simulate a first session, prepare realistic user stories drawn from business projects, practice the modified Fibonacci scale with pair exercises, analyze common estimation biases, and produce a backlog ready for a Scrum team, gaining confidence to facilitate your own workshops starting the next day.

Module 2Planning Poker Practice: advanced facilitation and conflict management (real cases, revotes, digital tools)

Facilitate complete Planning Poker sessions on authentic business cases, manage discrepancies using revote techniques and structured discussion, integrate tools like Azure DevOps or Jira to track estimations in real time, conduct team exercises on complex user stories involving technical dependencies, assess group cohesion via dispersion metrics, and develop an estimation report with action plan, transforming your skills into an immediate professional asset.

Module 3Planning Poker Implementation: enterprise optimization and impact measurement (velocity, ROI, hybrid deployment)

Deploy Planning Poker in a real business context via a red thread project, measure impact on Scrum velocity with custom dashboards, optimize for distributed teams using tools like Zoom and PlanningPoker.app, analyze quantified case studies on productivity gains, produce a deployment kit including templates and certified guidelines, and conclude with a full simulation including trainer feedback, ready to boost your sprints upon return to work.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
