Review
Great people and both very knowledgeable. If you don't take their class, it will be your biggest mistake.
Review
I've worked on multiple projects over the years that used Scrum practices. Going into this course, I wasn't sure what to expect or whether I'd gain much from it. However, after completing the instruction, I have to say there was a wealth of insightful information about how teams I've worked with—both past and present—have been doing things incorrectly.
Both Fred Mastropasqua and Luciana O'Keefe are highly knowledgeable about Scrum practices and bring extensive practical experience to the table. They're both open to questions and willing to dive deeper into the course material. Each instructor offers their own professional insights on applying the topics covered, which gives course participants more tools for their toolkit.
I highly recommend taking this course or any other course offered by either of them.

Having two facilitators rounded out the course due to different perspectives, experiance, and projects knowledge. I would highly recommend this couse for the personal interaction, team breakout sessions, discussion, and hands on examples.
