"Kiran delivered an excellent training class, it was very engaging, really practical with well thought out breakout group sessions. His knowledge of real world Scrum projects was very helpful, and his experience produced great answers to the hard questions brought up in class. It was a pleasure having him as a CST and after having experienced his vast knowledge on Scrum methodologies, I would recommend him and his services any time." - IT CIO

It was so good.

Great class and very interactive!

Well conducted and engaging CSM training session. Kiran kept everyone involved and clarified all our doubts patiently. Session moved at a comfortable pace with enough time for hands on exercises and break room discussions that helped connect concepts to real-world scenarios.

This was a great training session. Kiran is very knowledgeable of the IT industry and multiple methodologies for managing software development. He is a wonderful instructor as well.

Great insight into really what agile means. Kiran was really knowledgeable about the subject matter, clarified all of our questions, made it fun to learn and provided real world examples with great use cases.

Kiran was a very good instructor that really did a good job in getting us to understand the material.
