Material presented was relevant and timely. Material is on point for all learning styles. Small class size provided individualized learning

Intensive exposure of advanced topics related to Scrum and Agile. Over the course of the workshop, I have been engaged in a diverse range of sessions, exercises, and discussions designed to deepen understanding and enhance proficiency in various aspects of Scrum and Lean principles.

CSP-SM Certification | January 2024I recently completed my CSP-SM Certification with Madhur Kathuria. It was an enjoyable learning journey, with some great, thought-provoking discussions and interesting assignments, and I'm very glad that I decided to give this a shot. The overall process takes about 4 weeks. After the initial workshop, the learning and work is self paced, and the assignments and material are designed to give you an insight into just how deep you can go, into your preferred areas of interest.

The Scrum Alliance community is also incredibly supportive, with a wealth of resources, best practices, and forums for sharing experiences and insights. I would highly recommend Scrum Alliance to any organization or individual looking to improve their Agile practices and achieve better outcomes.
