“I took the Jan29-30 CSM course with Jimi/Fearless Agility, and was really pleased with everything about it - interesting, engaging, super educational, and legitimately fun at times. I even made a mental note to sign up for his CSPO course as well. Then, because of a minor scheduling conflict, and because I thought it was a good idea to take classes from different instructors with different perspectives, I signed up for a competitively-priced class from a different company. This was a terrible idea. I honestly didn't know you could fit so many words on so many PowerPoint slides. Also, don't underestimate the importance of your instructor being a talented public speaker like Jimi. Oh and he gets that sitting in front of your computer in a Zoom meeting for 90 consecutive minutes is the height of inefficient learning. Long story long, I'll be chalking this up as a loss, convincing myself it's all ok because I'm getting the CSPO cert and the 16 PDUs, and then signing up for Jimi's CSPO course in late April or May.”— Grant Register (CSM Virtual Participant, January 2024) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Why choose Fearless Agility?

Nobody ever learned anything useful by looking at slides while some "expert" droned on and on. So we ditch the PowerPoint, roll up our sleeves, and get participants working using a proven high-energy activity-based approach that has helped thousands worldwide earn their certification while taking useful practical skills back to work. This is real world knowledge and experience from someone who has lived in the Agile trenches for 20 years. It goes beyond the classroom theory that just anyone can provide to high-impact content with everything you need and nothing you don't.

But don't take our word for it... READ OUR RAVES.
