I really enjoyed this course and learned so much that I can use in my day to day work.

The CSPO Course taught by Kiran Thakkar was an excellent learning experience. Kiran’s teaching style was engaging, practical, and highly interactive. He explained Scrum concepts clearly, supported by real-world examples that made it easy to relate theory to practice.

Kiran demonstrated a deep understanding of the Scrum Product Owner Role, covering all key aspects. The course provided a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that can be taken back to the workplace.

I had the opportunity to attend the CSPO training with Kiran and it exceeded my expectations. The trainer explained complex concepts in a simple and practical way, backed by real-world examples and interactive discussions. The exercises made the learning hands-on and relevant. I walked away not only with a certification but with a clear understanding of how to drive value as a Product Owner. I would highly recommend this training to anyone looking to grow in Agile and Product Management.

Great course! I learned a lot through Kiran's teaching methodology. I specifically enjoyed the way he asked for individual case studies from the audience and explained way to resolve them by using concepts taught in the class. It is a very refreshing course that deviates from the typical monotonic PowerPoint presentation. Thanks Kiran! :)

Great teacher

Great interactive session; Trainer got good humored nature and is able to answer most of our real lives scrum/team challenges and help us navigate through PO role.
