WHAT CHRISTIAN'S STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

“I want to share with you how much I enjoyed taking the class and that Christian did an absolutely fantastic job. I have been agile on and off for the past 15 years and have served as a scrum master in the last 2 years. Initially I thought that I will be a bit bored, but Christian was very engaging and presented the material in a very thought-provoking fashion. I particularly enjoyed the concept of Mindset vs. Mechanics. I also felt very much empowered as a scrum master. My last engagement entailed an agile conversion in an organization that was rather opposed to change.”

– Micheala W.

“Hi, Christian — thanks again for the very insightful scrum master course training last week! I’m looking forward to observing more and asking questions to start dialogue in my state agency to help us become more agile and efficient leaders.”

– Kendall A.

“Awesome Scrum Master course! You nicely pulled off the virtual aspect. I’d take another of your courses anytime. Thanks again!”

– Janet V –

“Christian- I just wanted to connect and say thank you again for the great CSM course you led last week! I really appreciated the dynamic and interactive nature. Also thanks again for the conversation and words of encouragement after the course ended on Friday. Take care!”

Valuable. Thorough. Interesting. Helpful.

The course gave a quick but thorough introduction to Scrum with a focus on the Scrum Master accountability. I was able to pass the Certified Scrum Master test on the first try after completing this course.

Knowledgeable and engaging instructor. This is the second course I have taken with Christian as his style meshes very well with mine. Awesome class and instructor.

Christian was a fantastic leader of the material. Would consider any course he is facilitating.

This was a great class and this is my second class with Christian (CSPO and now CSM). I enjoyed the class and his insight.
