Testimonials

It taught me tools and techniques for managing product development and actively involving Scrum-based development and enhancement projects.

,

The facilitator had lots of energy, gave clear and concise instructions and made this topic very understandable and easy to learn. Coupled with real-life examples and advice for real situations which are more complex, this was one of the most rewarding programmes I've ever taken. I wish more people would learn and adopt Scrum's way of thinking and working.

,

Very detailed walk-through of the components of Scrum that a Product Owner needs to know to use this tool.
