What students say about Sekhar

← →
★★★★★

I attended a CSM course taken by Sekhar Burra, organized by Skillbook. Awesome trainer with deep knowledge on the practical aspects of Scrum. He kept the sessions lively with practical demos and theory mixed in, and addressed many of the challenges we face in becoming Agile, especially the importance of unlearning the traditional mindset to projects.

BJ Bobby Jose, Google review
★★★★★

Sekhar started with very simple and relatable examples but the way he built the entire session was amazing. The activities and practical examples were very helpful to understand the contexts. His awareness about the current AI trends in the industries was also impressive. Overall, it was a great learning session.

Really enlightening and informative. Sekhar's in-depth knowledge on the subject was indeed excellent.

Verified attendee, Scrum Alliance review
★★★★★

I found the training to be incredibly insightful. It provided a clear and thorough understanding of the foundations of the Scrum framework. I now have a solid grasp of the core responsibilities that define the roles within a Scrum team and how they collaborate to deliver value.

Verified attendee, Scrum Alliance review
What you walk away with: a sample Certified ScrumMaster certificate in the name John Smith, the official CSM digital badge, a 2-year Scrum Alliance membership, and continuous learning through member webinars, resources, and SEUs. From enrollment to certified in 5 steps: enroll, complete the training, activate your Scrum Alliance account, pass the test with 74 percent or more, and you are certified. The exam in plain numbers: 50 questions, 60 minutes, 74 percent to pass, and 99 percent of our students pass. Two attempts included, taken online from home, with support until you pass. Real Skillbook Academy class boards built live on Miro: a three-team sprint board and a team backlog built by students.
