Mr. Stuedemann is a fantastic ambassador for Scrum Alliance. His humor kept the class active and his openness with sharing valuable golden nuggets was appreciated. He packed a lot of information into my 2-day journey. I look forward to hopefully joining a class of his in the future.

I appreciated the pace and balance of theory with hands-on, collaborative work. Mike was also incredibly resourceful, knowledgeable, and charismatic. Will definitely recommend the Scrum Alliance and his course to my professional cohort!
