This Scrum Master course, led by John, is exceptional. It is packed with value due to hands-on group exercises and real-life Scrum team examples. John fostered an engaging atmosphere through good dynamics and clear communication.

Great training with engaging activities to help with learning. John is a very experienced trainer and professional with lots of real life examples from different industries. I appreciate all the stories/ tips shared throughout the session as they brought the conversation to what is really important and how to unleash the power of Scrum.

It was very informative and John was always willing to answer additional questions

Excellent

John was able to tailor his delivery to match the prior knowledge of the group and was able to keep it interesting and informative.

I worked in Agile environments since 2011, so I'm not new to this, but John still managed to show me how much is there to learn. Training was a mix of theory and practice, which helped quickly uncover any misunderstanding. John is both great narrator and listener. We discussed specifics of applying Scrum in our organization which was very useful. Doesn't matter if you are a new or experienced Scrum practitioner, if your company is big or small. John will help you to kick-start Scrum in your organization and will guide you along the way.

John was great!

Great dynamic course! You will enjoy it and learn loads.

This was a two day professional and engaging course with a mix of presentation and interactive exercises. John presented enthusiastically clearly knowing his subject well and being able to clearly communicate it to others and answer questions raised during training. I would highly recommend anyone in the agile space to do this course.
