The course was well delivered with thorough insights into agile concepts, methodology and product ownership.

Fab course over a couple of days. Enjoyed the content and the activities. Also great to meet with colleagues and work together with new people. thanks Alan!

Thought it was a well presented course by an knowledgeable presenter

There was a lot of detailed information in the course however I would have appreciated more practical, hand on tasks that put the information into practice in order to understand the application in more detail.

Alan was a great mentor and coach to teach the CSPO course. He kept content engaging while using real life examples and advising on what TED talks, books and resources we can use. I was never bored throughout the course and enjoyed the activities.

Very informative, Alan was very knowledgeable.

I found Alans knowledge and examples from his own lived experience was extremely useful.

Fantastic training course and the best mentor.

I really enjoyed this course, not only was Alan extremely knowledgeable he interlaced the materials with his vast experience and catalogue of anecdotes. The course was also mad fun, with good exercises and opportunities to share our own experiences with the rest of the group. Highly recommended!
