Brian brought a lot of energy and is very knowledgeable, Great class.

Brian was a great instructor - engaging and willing to take time for Q&A during breaks. The content was spot on and sets you up for total success on the CSM Exam. Mountain Goat Software provides great learning tools during and after the course. Will definitely be signing up for additional courses in the future!

Fantastic engaging instruction with a lot of hands on activities to reenforce the material.

Brian and Mountain Goat Software team deliver a stellar product. Their training is engaging and informative. It was one of the best classes I have ever attended, especially online.

Really well organized and delivered

The CSM class was excellent! Brian is a wonderful instructor. I highly recommend the class.

This course was well polished and Brian was a wonderful teacher. I have been doing Scrum for thirteen years and only now do have a much better understanding of the who, why, and how we use this process. I really enjoyed it and hope we are sent back for more training.

Gives real life situations with real life solutions via SCRUM
