This course was extremely valuable and the content will be very usable in my professional life, much like a good product increment. It easily allowed me to achieve my sprint goal of getting CSM-certified as I work towards my ultimate product goal of obtaining a new software engineering job.
John was a fun, personable, and knowledgeable instructor who gave us many interactive and visual ways to learn the concepts and keep us focused. He fostered a very collaborative environment, and many class members felt comfortably encouraged to participate and add their own unique insights to the content we learned. The class was about 7 hours each day for a two-day period, but it flew by very quickly thanks to John's positive energy, fresh teaching techniques, and excellent direction. SCRUM teaches us to fail sooner so we can get to the right answer faster, but in the case of this class, I really think you can't go wrong.
