Success Stories

This was the first Scrum.org course I took that was co-facilitated, and I believe Ryan and Todd did an excellent job of playing off one another. The breakout sessions and real-world cases the trainers provided were invaluable. I thoroughly enjoyed my learning time and interaction with them, and hope to maybe take another course from them in the future!

Todd and Ryan did a great job in running the class and explaining things. I really enjoyed the conversations with Todd and Ryan and with the other people attending the class. I feel like a renewed scrum master after taking this class.
