“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) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

You just can't go through this course with anyone other than Jimi leading. SO fun and entertaining. You will learn everything you need to start your Scrummening. I'm not saying he's the best, but I'm not NOT saying that either. Will absolutely sign up for another class. Cheers!

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!!

Never a dull moment.

A great course and great instructor. Thank you Jimi Fearless

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!!

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!
