Anil has great experiences to share with us and having small class size helps with excellent interaction. The examples are superb and great as it shows real life examples. Anil is a great teacher and will highly recommend to others to learn from him, whether it is in person in NYC or remotely. Thank you for having Anil as our teacher of scrum.
Review
Anil is a great instructor and has a lot of examples and activities to really hammer down all the new concept. I am leaving the class with high confidence that I understand the scrumm framework. The only comment I have is that Anil tends to ask opinions or ask questions to the class, which is totally fine, but sometimes if the response is wrong or if the answerer seems confused, I felt a bit of a judgement

Anil
He is a very thorough and enthusiastic teacher.
Some of the activities were a bit childish for my taste. Additionally some of his stories were very long winded and I’m not sure how applicable they were.
Overall it was a great class though. Anil is more than willing to answer all your questions. He also makes himself available via zoom after the class free of charge which is very unique.

Something to know: About 20% of all public CSMs & CSPOs have more than 40 people enrolled. That's not us.
Our workshops are designed to be interactive in nature. There are breakout exercises roughly every hour for students to practice and apply concepts in “table teams” of a few people rather than in a plenary (whole class) session. Our public class enrollments are generally below the average course size of 16. This helps you get rich feedback and interaction from other participants and your trainer.
Our aim is that you have an engaging and practical experience - not just learn concepts and pass a test. Our intent is that the workshop leaves you feeling eager, excited, and confident about putting the tips, techniques, and frameworks into practice.
