Excellent introductory course to agile which provides colleagues with the knowledge and tools to understand agile projects. Thoroughly enjoyed the course!
Great trainer. Brought subject to life with real examples and antidotes. Also kept checking in with the group to ensure he was responding to what we wanted from the session.
