A great and original learning experience!
Prior to this class, my Scrum knowledges/skills were very basic...
The learning path taken by our instructor (Mr Matthew Dominici) for teaching us was very original and helpful. His enthusiasm and experience have been appreciated too.
I have really learnt a lot and feeling having already strong bases for improving my Scrum skills and why not becoming a master one!

Matt communicated very clearly on all the topics he covered. He made sure to not only put on his 'trainer's hat' but as well 'client hat' to provide feedbacks on the exercises the participants carried out. He also took his time to intelligently answer technical questions about the contrasts of agile and waterfall methodologies.

Great online class and great teacher!
Matt was an absolutely phenomenal teacher! I was a little anxious to do the training entirely online, but the breakdown of the information, the use of breakout rooms for discussions, and the interactive elements made it really easy. The days were structured well and the long zoom days were set up beautifully and weren't exhausting at all.
I was extremely happy with the class and with the good preparation and instruction, I passed the test on my first try.
Highly recommended!

Eye-opening
Eye-opening. After having experienced delivering project using hybrid / scrum like framework / methodology, I learned to appreciate the fundamentals of the framework after this class.
Delivery of the class was excellent, as well. The standardized material was concise and easy to understand and had very useful hand-on practice which made the class very engaging. Love it !!!

It was a nice atmosphere to share experiences, I learned interesting facts from the attendees' comments.

Agile means something different for every organization. Start-up companies need to find the sweet spot between absolute chaos and overbearing process & control. Professional Scrum and Kanban can help teams and organizations do just that!

Between Agility and Better Business Outcomes is Employee Engagement
Sep 28, 2022
I’m lucky enough to work with different teams on a regular basis. In some cases, these teams have been doing scrum for years. These teams have become highly proficient when it comes to the events in Scrum. They always have Done software to be inspected at the Sprint Review. They have excellent, deep and actionable conversations during their Sprint Retrospectives. Their Daily Scrums are a sight to behold!
One team I’ve recently started working with would fit this description perfectly. They’re really good at Scrum! But I had an interesting conversation with a Development Team member, and it went something like this:
Development Team Member (DTM): “I’m really not sure if we’re going to get this PBI all the way to Done before the end of the sprint”
Me: “Why’s that?”
DTM: “Well, I’ve just started coding it, and I think it’s going well… but the integration environment is down again, so I haven’t been able to kick off our automated regression tests. I guess I should bring that up as an impediment at the Daily Scrum tomorrow…”
This reminded me how easy it can be for our successful habits and routines to undermine our goals. This person knew that if they brought the issue up at the next Daily Scrum, it would absolutely get resolved. They’re on a great team! Someone would 100% step up and help solve the problem.
But here’s the thing: tomorrow is far away. The problem needs attention, now. The events described in Scrum are not the ONLY instances during which we collaborate. We need to be doing that constantly, always looking for opportunities to help each other, and to ask for help when we need it.
Sometimes we need to be reminded of that.
Let's look at another aspect of our lives: You've just finished a large salad for lunch, and you have a Big Important Meeting later in the day. You probably want to make sure you don't have any salad stuck to your teeth. Do you wait until later that evening, when you usually clean your teeth? Of course not! You're going to check for any foreign objects right away! Duh!
This seems like it should be common sense - and yet the discussion I described above happens time and time again. We need to remember to practice good hygiene when it comes to working together - at all times!
