CSM course Training by Raj Kasturi was an excellent experience. His knowledge and experience has helped me understand the concepts of Scrum and Scrum master role. His way of explaining the concept was very interesting and the examples he used has made it easy to understand the concept. The concept of breakout rooms and letting teams have the discussion about the topic was interesting as it has brought lot of different opinions, inputs and feedback from different members of team. It was a great session to have with Raju Kasturi and will plan to attend more of his trainings. I would definitely recommend him for this training. Thank you, Raj Kasturi.

I just passed my CSM test this morning! Raj Kasturi has a very comprehensive and enjoyable class that's hosted over 2 days on a weekend which worked very well for my schedule. Raj comes to class prepared with more than just boring PowerPoint presentations. He has hand drawn diagrams, group activities and discussions, and a fun and interactive teaching style. For those of you that aren't sure where to start, I recommend starting right here. Thank you, Raj!!

I had the opportunity to attend the course taught by Professor Raj and can confidently say that he has extensive knowledge in agile methodologies. His teaching methodology is clear, well-structured, and effective. He also actively encourages student participation, creating a dynamic and inclusive learning environment.

Thank you Raj!

The class was very interactive, and Prof. Raj applied the techniques to real-world experience.

Very good product, clearly presented and well explained by the trainer. Thank you, Raj!

The course was very informative, Raj used his extensive knowledge to break down the concepts into easily digestible analogies and mnemonic devices . He was lighthearted nature fostered a safe learning environment!

The course was structured, organized, informative and fun. My experience was great. Thanks Raj!

I highly recommend Raj Kasturi as a Certified Scrum Master instructor! As someone completely new to the field, I was initially worried about the complexity, but he made everything incredibly easy to understand. The class was not only enjoyable but also very effective, providing me with all the necessary information to feel confident and successful in the Scrum Master role. I'm already looking forward to taking more of his classes in the future!
