Testimonials

The different real-life scenarios and experiences that the facilitator brings provide a lot of insight and depth into how we, as working individuals, can utilise Scrum correctly in our teams to enhance productivity.

,

It was perfect and well-executed by the facilitators. I learnt many valuable lessons, including Scrum Framework mastery. I now have comprehensive knowledge of the Scrum framework, allowing me to confidently apply each Scrum event and role, from sprint planning to retrospectives.

,

Very insightful and engaging class! I have a strong foundation of Scrum now after attending it. Really appreciate that the facilitator's sharing is very actionable and relevant to today's tech world. It was not just pure academic theories, but pointing out great insights and responses that we can really relate to.
