"Background, term definitions, and examples were at the right level of detail and relevance. Key points were reviewed throughout the course, which enabled better absorption. Concepts were reinforced in a clear, impactful manner through the use of animation, easy to understand language and high quality, concise content. Lesson sequence and pacing was spot on. Humor incorporated into the course enhanced my overall enjoyment. As a non-IT professional, I appreciated the examples provided, specifically the example used to demonstrate batch size and single-piece flow concepts. This course proved valuable and worth the investment! - Brittany Daniels"
"Best course on agile I've taken so far! Extremely useful and alive visualization is enhancing thinking process. Thanks for the adequate pace - easy to follow. Waiting for continuation! - Stepan Zaponkin"
"As a member of an Agile team in a process environment, this training is spot on to explain the system and methods. The time spent with this course will definitely expedite your effectiveness on an Agile project - well done! - James Knight"
"This course was particularly helpful for explaining the terminology that is frequently used out of context by those unfamiliar with the value proposition of Agile. Without this background, the terms and methods associated with Agile/Scrum/Kanban might seem faddish and silly.

The material was delivered efficiently and it was also kind of fun. - Brent Eilerts"
