WHAT CHRISTIAN’S STUDENTS ARE SAYING...
“I want to share with you how much I enjoyed taking the class and that Christian did an absolutely fantastic job. I have been agile on and off for the past 15 years and have served as a scrum master in the last 2 years. Initially I thought that I will be a bit bored, but Christian was very engaging and presented the material in a very thought-provoking fashion. I particularly enjoyed the concept of Mindset vs. Mechanics. I also felt very much empowered as a scrum master. My last engagement entailed an agile conversion in an organization that was rather opposed to change.”
