I had a fantastic CSM course with Cathy Simpson that was engaging and valuable. Highly recommend for those new to Scrum or those seeking to formally begin certification for their career. This training was amazing. The appropriate information was sent before the training and the session itself was very interesting with lots of practice, the right amount of theory and very skillful trainer.
