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!” – Josh

Mack did a great job of crafting this course so it could work with my busy schedule to complete all of the requirements. I learned so much more about Scrum and Agile practices than I was expecting to and I have already had a chance to leverage some of the assignments from the class into my regular job responsibilities.

Patrick (Mack) is a wonderful trainer. They have an awesome training course, I loved the course structure and enjoyed working on their thought-provoking assignments!
