**[The Mountain Goat Software](https://daily.dev/sources/mountaingoatsoftware)** · 5 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Mountain Goat Software, founded by Mike Cohn, is discontinuing public Scrum and agile training classes after more than two decades.

The company will continue producing free content like blog posts and YouTube videos, and is reorganizing its website around ten topic-based agile guides.
