Terrific learning experience - thank you Fred!

The overall structure of the class was excellent. Material was well organized to scaffold by setting a framework and then elaborating on that skeleton while building. To use a topic from the class it was both iterative and incremental as appropriate. The clarity of instruction was balanced with an engaging and entertaining style (which is needed for 16 hours over 2 days). The trainer Rob also brought many real world examples into the class which made the abstract concepts real, enhancing my comprehension and retention.

Rob was an excellent trainer for this course. He was engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and tailored his presentation style to the group very well.I felt like I got much more value for this class than I did the first time I did a CSPO.

Robert Shaw is an excellent facilitator! He really made the difference when covering content for two days straight. As an experienced Product Manager, I learned new items and had a helpful reminder of practices that I perform regularly. Thank You!

Excellent instructors even during a storm they were present and utilized their knowhow to engage teams to apply material to real life scenarios.

Excellent second course with Fred and learned more than expected

I thought the class was very informative. I liked the instructors and thought that the material was presented in a way that made it easy to follow and absorb. I enjoyed the group exercises and thought they were really useful, but it might've been helpful to have a moderator or something, at least every once in a while. I found that I was pulling the majority of the weight for the other four people on my team most of the time, and one of our team members just stopped showing up midway through the second day. I understand that we're all adults taking a course and should be able to moderate and participate as such, but it was a little frustrating.

Informative class, felt like I got exactly what I was looking for from the experience. Very interactive, especially enjoyed the group activities where we were generating an app and then following a mock of the sprint process on the second day.

The instructors were friendly and open for questions. The topics that were covered were explained in an easy way to understand. I do wish that some topics like Burn Down reports were covered, but I can probably find that in another course or do my own research. Also, I'm not a fan of so much group work - I can work perfectly fine with my team, but I am not a fan of making up hypothetical situations. I'd prefer a more lecture based training with tests throughout the training to track progress.

The exercises were hands on and very helpful. The session was well staffed and organized and presenters were knowledgeable.
