Testimonials
Thanks for a great class. I just wanted to let you know that I passed the exam and am now a Certified ScrumMaster. I am starting a new project and we have elected to run it using Scrum. I am excited to apply my new skills to this project.” – Lisa P. “I also wanted to thank you for teaching us today. The training was very helpful. I posted a picture of my Scrum Alliance profile on this email (just for fun). And the video’s we saw in class was very funny. I have already begun to look at information on the next steps for CSP. Thanks again.” – Marbella M. “I’m pleased to report that after taking the CSM exam almost immediately after today’s class I passed with an almost perfect score. I only missed two questions out of a total of 35 and after reading them I realized it was only because I rushed through them. I just want to thank you again for all of your help as I continue on the CSP path.” – Antwane S.	“Your training is still one of the best I've been to over the past few years!” – Dave K. “I was in your Blacksburg CSM class this week. I passed the CSM exam last night, so thank you for the excellent classroom preparation. One thing I forgot to add the course feedback was how innovative I thought it was for you to use Scrum to teach Scrum. Very well done!” – Josh

Love the course content. Very engaging training session.

Great course, Mac was very knowledgeable.

Truly a great and engaging class

I recommend this training for who works in agile team.

Good pace and Agile communication made this course very enjoyable. Even with technical difficulties I felt like our first day left my brain spongy from good information, and the second day had us applying and practicing. Thanks!

The course was outstanding and provided valuable information and learnings that I can use in my job.

Clear and concise communication.

Mack is a wonderful teacher. He effectively balances learning specific information with exercises, real world examples and humor! It was a good class and I learned a lot! Thank you!

The instructor is knowledgeable, experienced at scrum, and keeps the training moving quickly. The exercises were short and sweet, too, while driving home the point.
