“A very helpful class! Highly interactive. I was never bored and always engaged. Zuzi is an excellent teacher and coach. The virtual tools were easy and fun to use.”

-- Michael Murphy, Scrum Master

“I highly recommend this class for anyone that is looking to transition from the traditional management mindset into the scrum/agile way of managing projects. Zuzi does an amazing job at breaking down the differences and opens your eyes to how beneficial it can be for any organization to transition into the scrum way. Thanks again for that amazing class!”

-- Patrick Mittereder - Software Development Manager

“The virtual experience was surprisingly good, the breakout sessions really kept things engaging and I thought Zuzis patience and understanding with our questions were so professional.“

-- Elke Hinson - Travel Industry Professional

“The CSM course was my first certification and first full virtual course. I loved it. I actually believe that it was more effective than in-person because I was able to search the user manual and other materials while trying to resonate with the lesson presented. The breakouts were much more private and intimate than they would have been in person. Thanks Zuzi!”

--Kevin Vidal

“Attending the Product Owner class online far exceeded my expectations. I was able to meet many incredible people from around the world, which might not have been the case for an in-person class. Interacting in the breakout groups was an excellent way to collaborate and gain insight from others. I definitely recommend the virtual format.”
