The pace of the course an opportunity to ask questions and examples were helpful.

(could replace “book” with “grocery”... too easy). Christine Turecki | BNY Mellon  | Pittsburgh PA

Very informative and usable approaches. Immediately useful techniques. Tight time for all the information. Tony Bennett | Federal Government | Washington DC

I very much liked how informative it all was, the instructor was friendly, approachable, and patient. I especially liked the in-person exercises!! I think the class could lend itself more to passing (even) the practice quizzes —> the wording was confusing. Sasha Cardin | Raleigh NC 

The case study was good. Maybe allow a little more time for a detailed, in-depth discussion of requirement writing, acceptance criteria. Also please focus on how to merge agile/scrum with medical device or regulated environment dev/release requirements. Mark Bowers | Leica Microsystems | Raleigh NC

I received my Scrum Master certification (CSM) six years ago, but did not work in an agile environment the past four years. Recently, the company I worked for got sold and our entire IT team was laid off and that included me. Noticing how popular Agile/Scrum has become in the workforce, I was looking for a refresher course to strengthen my Scrum skills. I have been a fan of the Agile methodology when I first got involved and was fortunate to come in contact with Gourab, from AgileTraining.co, to attend his one-day Scrum Master course. I thought the course was excellent as a refresher or for someone wanting to become a Certified Scrum Master. I even mentioned to Gourab that I learned more from his class and materials in the one day course than the two-day course I took as preparation for my Scrum Master certification six years ago. Robert Hutchinson | Sr. Project Leader | Philadelphia, PA
