Just by taking the course, I was able to learn the basics of Scrum. Since there were occasional questions during the lectures, I was able to not only receive input but also produce output, which helped reinforce my understanding.

とてもよい研修でした。ありがとうございました。

Thank you for the fun lesson.

This course was well-structured, comprehensive, and immediately provided attendees with the Scrum Master skills they needed for their respective workplaces. I highly recommend this to fellow PMPs who are looking to transition from a traditional waterfall mindset to Scrum, providing more value and faster solutions for complex projects.

Great course appreciate the accountability built in

Phenomenal instructor. Very knowledgeable. Kept the class engaged and answered questions in an understandable manner.

The class was great. I learned lots about scrum.

Steve was a great instructor. Well organized and easy to consume materials. Thanks Steve for helping us along our agile journey!

Steve was a great instructor and coach as we navigated the material with a combination of live instruction, mentored discussion, and interactive group activities. The tempo of delivery was appropriate and the structure of the lessons flowed seamlessly.

Engaging and easy to follow with a good mix of presenting the information, interactive lessons, and small group breakout sessions to simulate real world applications. It was just long enough to absorb it all, little wasted time.
