NOT TECHNICAL?

We will explain Scrum in generic terms. If technical terms come up during your course, we'll define them in an easily digestible way for a non-technical person to grasp the ideas.

“Brett was an incredible instructor! He is extremely knowledgeable and well-versed on Scrum. He has a wide variety of available dates, days, and times for the Certified Scrum Master class, in order to work with any schedule constraints. His class was a wealth of knowledge, fun, (Brett adds lots of fun humor to the class) interactive, and he did a great job in preparing me for my test. Brett has designed his online course so that you don’t get bored, learn, and absorb a huge amount of information in a short time, and have a great mix of different ways to interact and provide knowledge-sharing. I found that the time flew by, and I loved this class. Thanks Brett!”
