Scrum training requires an extensive knowledge of the English language as it does not use basic terminology. Made it difficult to follow along when you have to look up the meaning of lots of words along the way. Having some basic scrum knowledge and experience beforehand made it a bit easier to understand, especially as I don't work in a software development space.

The Scrum certification course gave me the insight and skills into how to use the Scrum Master role within my development activities. Rowan was knowledgeable and open to being questioned deeply on different aspects of the role.

The trainer did an excellent job delivering the content with clarity and enthusiasm. His ability to explain complex concepts in an accessible way and engage participants throughout the sessions was impressive and greatly appreciated.

I recently completed a Scrum course with Rowan as the instructor, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rowan's teaching style was clear, engaging, and highly practical. The course provided a solid foundation in Scrum methodology and left me feeling confident about applying these principles in real-world projects. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Agile practices!

very good product

Excellent. Valuable.

Excellent and well run.

Great insight into Scrum roles and responsibilities, and how Scrum artifacts provide value to individuals and the business!

A whole lot of content in a tight timeframe. The content really closely followed the in depth discussion that was going on in the room. It also helps that it was in person with such a great bunch of people. Rowan did an excellent job of steering the conversations and keep the discussion on point and relevant.

On topic, good material, good presentation
