It is an arduous task to be able to deliver this training virtually and Kim absolutely nailed it! Well done!
Kim is a great instructor with tons of passion. She has clearly internalized the material and the way she delivers it is engaging and fun.
Eric was a great facilitator! He made the content very understandable and ensured all members were engaged through zoom. Great work
Very much enjoyed Kim as an instructor and would highly recommend.
About a month ago I completed the Scrum Master course and could have received a discount however, I wanted to take it from a different instructor and am so glad I did! What an excellent class lead by Eric! He kept us well engaged, and was extremely informative. I also appreciate his personal experiences as it related to the content. I will definitely recommend this class to colleagues. Thanks Eric!
Anu is super-pro. I was very impressed with her depth of knowledge and teaching capability.
Kim did a great job facilitating and teaching the workshop. Lots of exercises and tools to review. The content was relevant and interesting.
A good balance of team and lecture. High degree of time to value - lots of lessons in a short period of time while keeping a coherent story arc.
Very good and friendly introduction to the concepts of SCRUM.
Great training; I think most of us are hands on learners - so having so many "projects" to do kept us engaged. More so that we used real world examples.
Best class I took. Best instructor I ever had.
The class was very hands on and even the agenda for the class was sprint - I thought that was amazing way to learn the CSPO role. Thanks!
Kim was amazing. She was clear, kept us focused, engaged, etc. She set clear expectations on what we should know before the class which was very helpful. It was a great mix of learning and applying. I felt like this could NOT have gone better. I don't feel like there was any issue with this being virtual as opposed to in-person.
Great class, good flow. Open and honest communication; felt comfortable throughout. [Instructor was] professional and prepared.
Very enjoyable class. I will admit, I was unsure how engaged I would be in a virtual class but it was great! Eric's use of the Miro tool and the breakout sessions really kept us engaged. Thank you!
The content of the course was well explained with thorough detail. Slides were focused and provided relevant information about the topic at hand. Angela did a fantastic job during the training. She was polite, personable, direct, and focused.
The course was fast paced, clear, and very concise. Both instructors were very passionate about SCUM.
Peter was an amazing instructor. He delivered the content in an interactive way and kept the attention of the class throughout the course. He was extremely knowledgeable on the topics and was able to answer any questions the class had.
