Feedback from Attendees
- " Highly informative, interactive, hands-on activities. The instructor Kelley is an excellent facilitator and instructor, very engaging. The course is an overview of Agile/Scrum principles and practices and focuses on the Product Owner role, and the related events/activities." -- Steven, CSPO, Sr. Business Analyst, Sacramento, California
- "It was a great experience. Two fun days. It really went by quickly. I came to the class as a Certified ScrumMaster (CSM). I came here to deepen my Scrum knowledge, and learn more about the Product Owner role, to more efficiently work and collaborate with Product Owners. What I really like about Kelley is that his style is really clear and very engaging. He brought tons of activities to the classroom, and got us up and moving around, which was great, very engaging. I also enjoyed that he had a lot of information about the latest terminology. ... We also learned a little bit about Lean Startup and some other concepts. Overall a very solid Product Owner class that I can highly recommend." -- Steffi Zacke, CSPO, CSM, Sr. Project Manager and Producer, Agile Professional, Honolulu, Hawaii

Who Should Attend?
Scrum training, either CSM or CSPO, is the most known introduction to Agile, and hence it is often attended by the full range of people in an organization, CEOs aspiring to be supportive "servant-leaders."
The Agile mindset and Scrum framework can be applied to any type of product or service. Scrum started in the software industry in the early 1990's, but has since been used for coordinating more activities, including senior management, sales, human resources, education, hardware, and beyond. In the class, it is common to see meet people from leadership, marketing, project management, software development, test, and more.
