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!”
