“In our current company, we develop a lot of customized softwares and data solutions for businesses and there is always a short deadline with a lot of changing needs. Jimi made it fun over the four days while actually teaching (at least me) a lot of useful techniques, and clarifications that started to make an actual difference from Wednesday (when I went back to work). I highly recommend Jimi and his style unless you want a boring lecturer that you'll forget what he or she said when you're done.”— Amir Mowla (Scrum Alliance Trustpilot Review, Dual CSM+CSPO Virtual Participant, April 2023) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Jimi is entertaining and a bit different from the average corp trainer - at least in my experience. The activities and games were exceptional at demonstrating both the process and the thinking that goes along with it. I looked forward to the next day, the next exercise, the next discussion throughout the days. Not many trainings can create that reaction. Usually you get a nap, a sore butt & empty pockets, but not with Fearless Agility! I felt energized, engaged and invested in the activities. Would highly recommend this course to others...IF you value the unique!”— Kat Leffler (Scrum Alliance Trustpilot Review, Dual CSM+CSPO Virtual Participant, March 2023) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Jimi was an amazing instructor. The CSM + CSPO Dual Workshop was interactive and engaging.”— Jada Lowe (Scrum Alliance Trustpilot Review, Dual CSM+CSPO Virtual Participant, March 2023) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Jimi made the class very interesting! I really appreciated the information he shared with us on how to proceed in our CSM career path. As someone transitioning into the field, guidance from an expert is truly valuable. Thanks Jimi!”— Lauren J. (Scrum Alliance Trustpilot Review, CSM Virtual Participant, March 2023) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jimi is not only extremely knowledgeable on everything Scrum, but highly entertaining as you go through a number of intuitive "hands on" activities to get yourself programmed into Scrum thinking. 5/5 would highly recommend for anyone looking to add a CSM to their CV. Thanks Jimi!

Jimi classes are FUN and interactive. He has many real-world experiences to share, bringing more clarity and understanding. I have taken 2 classes so far and neither class has disappointed me. I wish my college instructors used similar techniques, learning would not have been such a drag. Thanks Jimi and Fearless Agility. Looking forward in taking more classes!!!

The course is very interactive and the facilitator has so much knowledge. They answered all questions the group had.

Jimi was exceptional at conveying the principles of Scrum and prepared the course takers to pass the exam without worry of fail. Highly recommend his course to all those interested in pursuing a CSM.

Jimi had an excellent, engaging way to teach that didn't really feel like teaching. That sounds like a negative, but I learned so much and I didn't realize it until the end. He's conscientious of learning and the best ways to learn, and incorporates that into the class structure. 10/10 would work with again.

This course was engaging. We quickly learned everything needed to pass the CSM exam on the first try. As a bonus, we got to participate in a hands on project that solidified the concepts.

A great course and great instructor. Thank you Jimi Fearless

Never a dull moment.

Very practical and hands on approach with break out groups helped reinforce the scrum framework's key aspects. Also appreciated insight from Jimi's on experience over the years and what works/doesn't work. As a seasoned scrum and agile practitioner, I learned of changes to the methodology and learned new/up-to-date, and practical techniques that I can apply immediately. Jimi is approachable, and makes learning fun which made for a great experience! Thank you!!
