Applicable to many aspects of the organization and can be integrated as a core project management product

The instructor was fantastic! I loved how he kept the class interactive and used excellent examples that made everything easy to understand. He also designed a variety of activities that kept us engaged and made learning enjoyable. His ability to bring together such a diverse and dynamic group of people really enhanced the whole experience!

The product was very informative and easy to follow.

This is an amazing chance to get everything required for SM certification just in two days.

It's a good starting point to have a succesful Scrum career.

Great instructor and training content. Not enough time in breakout sessions with the number of people included in each.

This course gave ma a chance to discuss learned content and then apply it to real-world type situations. This is better than just reading the guide & deepened my understanding.

Amazing course instruction!

Lance implemented various interactive portions to the course that made the course more enjoyable.

Great instructor.
