Todd Miller

I enjoyed the class and found the information very helpful.

Todd was a great, comprehensive instructor that provided valuable content and insight.

The training was really interactive and fruitful! Thanks to the trainers, they always kept the focus for the class!

The class was great and I learned a ton that I can bring back to my org. This is one of the best cost to value trainings I have been a part of and it is always great to learn from accomplished trainers like Ryan and Todd.

I always enjoy Agile for Humans trainings! Very collaborative, insightful, and fun.

Todd and Ryan kept the class fun and everyone engaged. Great instructors!

Instructors were very knowledgeable and made the material very relatable. There were a lot of hands on examples that helped reinforce the learnings in the material.

Todd & Ryan have great experiences to share!

Todd and Ryan were really great. They clearly have a breadth of knowledge and experience between the two of them and were able to give examples and answer questions in a no-BS type of way.

I really liked the team approach and different perspectives you guys have.

Professional Scurm with Kanban was a great class. Ryan, Todd and Dan did a wonderful job covering the material and giving us actionable insights we could take back to our daily work. Highly recommend attending one of the courses by Agile for Humans.

Erik had lots of real-world anecdotes to showcase the real challenges in how UX and Developers work together in a Scrum Team. He had great suggestions and we learned through completing the Lean UX Canvas with our breakout groups.

Erik Weber's training for PSU I was fantastic! He made integrating modern UX practices into Scrum easy to grasp and apply. Highly recommended for anyone seeking to boost their Scrum expertise!

The instructors are great and really helpful. Answered all the questions the students had. The review material is very ggod.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The group tasks and examples were spot on and very relevant to what is happening in our company. It was a great learning experience all around.

Great class with Ryan and Todd. I particularly loved the courage to share stories where you use EBM in your own company especially where it didn’t out well.

I made many new connections as our organization is evolving, the materials covered shared real experiences and tips for best handing complex situations revolving around use of SCRUM and benefits of SCRUM to an organization and value delivered

Great class! Better than I expected. two days with practice facilitations would be great too.

I loved the class

Very Interactive Class

Ryan was an excellent instructor. I appreciated his willingness to answer "real world" questions and lead participants to process their own examples.

gave an in-depth information on Scrum and what it takes to be successful.

Great class

Ryan was great! Stay involved, helps learn more!

Collaborative using Mural. Breakout rooms kept everyone engaged. Had a nice mix of theory and practical examples. Kept it light with music and solid breaks. Time boxed segments which kept everything moving.

Todd and Ryan are expert coaches, and they facilitate a wonderful learning environment for their students. They have a great cadence switching between group lectures, small group working sessions, and large group exercises. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to better their Scrum practice. I will note that this class specifically is for people who are already somewhat experienced with Scrum. The Product Backlog Management class provides helpful real-world tricks to improve the way your organization is already doing Scrum. It is NOT an introduction to backlog management. If you're newer to Scrum, one of their more general courses for Scrum Master, Product Owner, or Developer may be better suited for you.

Great course. Facilitators were knowledgeable and engaging!

I recently had the privilege of attending the Professional Agile Leadership Essentials™ (PAL-E) class facilitated by the dynamic duo of Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller. This experience wasn't just another step in my professional development; it was a leap forward. From the onset, Ryan and Todd's co-instructor model proved to be incredibly effective. Their synergy was palpable, creating an environment that was not just conducive to learning, but also highly engaging. With every activity and discussion, their profound knowledge of Agile principles shone through, illuminating complex concepts with ease and clarity. The class itself was a masterclass in balancing theory with practical application. The hands-on, activity-based approach ensured that each of us could translate Agile leadership concepts into actionable strategies tailored for our unique organizational contexts. The insights into supporting, guiding, and coaching Agile teams were particularly impactful. We dove deep into the essence of Agile leadership, exploring how it differs from traditional management and why it's crucial for fostering the conditions necessary for true agility. Ryan and Todd's adept facilitation encouraged us to challenge our preconceptions and embrace the Agile mindset fully. They navigated us through the intricacies of leadership roles within Agile environments, ensuring we understood not just the 'what' but the 'how' and 'why'. I walked away from the class not just with a wealth of knowledge but also with the confidence to sit for the PAL I Certification Exam. I feel equipped with the tools and understanding necessary to effect meaningful change in my organization and to guide my teams toward achieving peak agility. For leaders at any level embarking on or steering through an Agile transformation, this class is an invaluable resource. Ryan and Todd don't just teach you about Agile leadership—they exemplify it.

Best Virtual Training Course Ever

Great class and hands-on activities.

Simon proved to be an exceptional instructor for this course. His effective teaching methods not only enabled me to successfully tackle the challenging exam, but also made the learning experience enjoyable and captivating.

Ryan and Todd have delivered another awesome class. I really enjoyed this class and how it focused on the practical side of things and allowed us to practices some techniques for effective Product Backlog Management.

It was an amazing introduction into the methodology.

First time participating in Scrum training. Learned a lot. It is also fun to have different sections with presentations, discussions, and Sprints.

Fantastic trainers. They adapted to what would really help the class and I walked away with stuff I can use right away. Great experience !

Insightful and effective, Todd and Ryan manage to strike a great balance between students participation and helpful examples. Kudos!

I recently had the privilege of attending the Professional Scrum Product Backlog Management skills training conducted by Todd Miller and Ryan Ripley. As a fellow Professional Scrum Trainer that is still fairly new to the community I am very impressed of the comprehensive and insightful training delivered by these two giants of our community. They are not only expert Scrum Trainers but also the creators of this enriching and practical course. Mind you training other trainers is one of the hardest challenges that a trainer can face. Todd and Ryan thoroughly covered the principles of Product Backlog Management. Their method of teaching was interactive and engaging, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The real-world examples and practical exercises enriched the learning experience, making the application of Product Backlog Management straightforward in a real-world setting.Highly highly recommended!

Interactive group based work with a LOT of self reflection and discussion of our real world issues. Advanced reading to take back with us. Suggestions for the PSM II exams and it challenges my understanding of my current job role. I can take lessons from this class and apply them to my job to allow myself to do better.

Good resources

The instructors were very knowledgable and were extremely patient.

Brought clarity to our budding Agile transformation and forced us to ask the difficult questions wrt our org

Great class!

Todd was fantastic. Very affable. Lots of personal experience and stories to share that make the content come to life. Did a great job getting the most out of us and guiding us through Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills. I would definitely like to take another course from him.

Very interactive

Very interactive class.

Ryan was AMAZING! I came into this class not knowing anything about SCRUM or its framework. I had SO much fun throughout this 2 day course. If I could have Ryan as a trainer again, I totally would. He brings such a fun, professional, and knowledgeable experience to this training. The training is filled with activities, examples, fun graphics to follow along with. It was so engaging!

Absolutely amazing. Coaches were amazing and kept everyone engaged. Made the learning fun and easy to understand.

Was an awesome facilitated class, interactive, and challenged your view. Thank you

the topic was relevant to my current work. If this class was 2 or 3 day course with more time to complete the exercises, that would be helpful

Todd and Ryan brought an engaging style, deep knowledge of the domain, and a command of the material to make this an excellent course. I would recommend their training for anyone looking to deepen their skills in facilitation!

Fun time with Todd and Ryan - great practical scenarios and techniques to take forward with my teams. Thanks guys!

If you have never been in a class with Todd, Ryan and Simon I will say you are missing out. The combination of 3 of them is mind blowing. I learnt so much and have so much to take away and immediately go apply. Thank you guys.

Have taken a good number of classes from Agile For Humans with Ryan and Todd, and this class was another great experience. The guys share a wealth of knowledge, and do it in a fun and productive way. Looking forward to fututre classes with them.

Conversation with instructors and participants. Content that is relative and applicable.

I absolutely love taking a course with Todd and Ryan. The classes are always informative and entertaining which is no small feat in a remote class!

A fantastic class from knowledgeable trainers. Ryan and Todd are experienced, engaging and personable. Totally recommend them.

The experience was great because it was very interactive, with great breakout sessions and discussions in class. The company is doing well by providing real-life situations and experiences, structured classroom agendas, time-consciousness, and easy-to-follow course material that is engaging. I followed their coaching and guidance and passed my PSM1 exam on the first try! Need I say more… Thanks, Todd and Ryan!

Todd and Ryan present this information in a way that is engaging and interactive. The frequent breakout sessions allow for additional perspectives and practical applications of the material. This is time well spent for anyone looking to adopt scrum in their organization. Well Done!

Great mix of short lectures, small group activities and real-world examples. Loved the use of Mural for this class. Discussions were engaging and teaches kept it fun. I would take another class with these instructors again.

Very well done class. I was surprised at how simple the concepts seemed. I had actually been looking for a course that integrated Scrum and Kansan since I completed a CSPO class since sometime in the summer or fall of 2021 after the Scrum Trainer co-led a Scrum and Kansan class. Although to no avail. I happened to see the PSK course show up being led by Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller. Google brought it up on my iPhone when I loaded the Google Search Engine on my iPhone. Interestingly, it was what I was looking for. However, I had also listened to a number of their YouTube videos in early 2021. They happened to be familiar faces which gave me more comfort in signing up for a class they were providing in concert with Dan Vacante. This was my first Scrum.org class and assessment I took. I found it to be a rather tough although I did pass. In retrospect, I think I would have studied for and acquired the PSM I first before taking this assessment. Still, the PSK assessment set the tone, and I had a better idea of what to expect going forward.

Clear and relatable scenario-based learning. Always a pleasurable experience.

listening other people perspectives, experiences are always helpful. You may find it working perfectly in your situations.

Great teaching style with group interaction

Jim Hosier is a truly gifted trainer he made the whole training experience interactive and with real-life examples. He also managed to create breakout rooms with people that already work together, great job there Jim!

Scrum.org is becoming the North Star organization when it comes to Scrum and combination between Scrum & Kanban.

Very interactive and fun space to learn!

Loved it. its not training , I call this as classic experiential learning experience that involved lot of back n forth conversations. Lot of great stories and real life examples !! Thoroughly enjoyed.

Ryan and Todd are fun to work with. Having two instructors that play off of each other well, really helps with getting questions answered and keeping class flow smooth. IF you want a good picture of what their class is like check out their Youtube videos, then imagine actually being part of the conversations instead of just listening. Much of the class is also activity driven giving you a chance to hear about the lenses other people see Scrum through. My focus was about formalizing and learning the language, and it turned out their class really built up my confidence in the idea that I had already been doing the job. Ryan and Todd really gave me the terms to believe it and the refinement to improve on my skills and expand my tool box.

Excellent speakers

never had any formal training, this was great

I enjoyed all of the situational learning that occurred over the two-day course. I think the participants will help dictate what kind of experience you have in this class.

Ryan and Todd are great facilitators. Classic experiential learning. There were lot of great stories and real life examples shared that has complemented learning journey. Thoroughly enjoyed and loved it. I have got bag full of learnings and techniques.

Todd from Agile for Humans - terrific teacher and terrific content. Highly recommend to all who are working Agile and scrum!

An excellent PSFS class by Todd & Ryan! It was engaging and interesting. I have learnt a few facilitation techniques which I will be using at my work place. Highly recommended! Thank you Todd & Ryan!

Todd & Ryan are great trainers who excel at delivering great quality training while adapting on the fly to the needs of their students.

Thank you Todd and Ryan for the wonderful PSFS workshop. You both are awesome.

Excellent discussions and learnings about how to improve my facilitation skills.

Todd and Ryan are always great at facilitating their training sessions. They are able to get awesome participation from the attendees.

Very valuable and informative as someone with no PO experience!!

Great experience. Ryan and Todd are great facilitators and I left the class with a strong understanding of the Evidence Based Management framework.

Great material and exercises that I can apply with our teams! I would recommend!

Todd and Ryan are excellent facilitators and instructors. I enjoy the way they present the material and the small group breakout sessions allow for us to struggle, ponder, and figure out the questions we need to ask in order to take the concepts we learn back to our work environments. They are not afraid to dive into a challenging topic, but always bring some lightness and humor as well.

Binging in years of solid experience with great depth of knowledge about Scrum, Agile for Humans duo delivers a highly engaging class with humour and wealth of practical tips. Happy to have been part of this learning experience!

Really robust material covering a variety of new-to-me techniques and direct correlation to how to use them in practice. This is a phenomenal toolkit for remote teamwork and facilitation. The facilitator(s) for this facilitation was well-versed and well-prepared for a smooth student experience.

I love Ryan and Todd's classes! Both are outstanding trainers and extremely knowledgeable.

Thanks, good to review some facilitation principles, skills and practices.

Todd and Ryan masterfully *facilitated* a class full of Professional Scrum Trainers!

Discussion about about real time experiences was good. Learnt about various product stances in PSPO advance learning.

Great class for leaders to put some thought to implementing changes to continue to grow your agility culture.

Great crash course on scrum. I wish I had more time to absorb and understand the pre-work before taking the course. I enjoyed the interaction; however, some members did not participate in the group activities.

Amazing! This by far has been the best Agile training I have ever taken. Erik was a great trainer and the content was very relevant to actual challenges companies face. Highly reccomend.

Pawel is Amazing! He did a great job of teaching remotely and utilizing Mural to get through a massive amount of material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their scrum certifications.

Ryan was one of the best, if not the best, trainer I have experienced since working here. He was very direct and succinct in his answers and gave the reason behind his answers to support. As a result, I took away a much better understanding than I may have otherwise.

It was a masterclass full of real-life stories and experiences from the trenches. As a manager and experienced agilist, I learned a lot from Ryan & Todd during this highly interactive course. I strongly recommend you take the PAL-E class with Agile For Humans, you won't regret it.

Terrific class! Get ready to do some critical thinking on difficult topics. We had some really eye-opening discussions!

Packed with Value This class has a ton of good information in it. Not enough organizations focus on running actual experiments. A lot of people think they do, but they don't formalize them, develop hypothesis, and then measure the results in a reasonable time. This class will help you learn why you want to do that and give you the tools to start.

Absolutely amazing class that I've enjoyed so much. This duo rocks and kept me (and my brain) entertained for whole 2 days. Packed with insights and knowledge sharing from others made me to take away a lot of stuff to digest. I'd recommend this class to any Scrum Master that wants to step up their game. Thank you Todd & Ryan!

the training class was awesome!

I learned a lot from this course and I like Ryan's view on things that made me rethink what I had known about Scrum.

Very educational. Coming from no Scrum knowledge and forced into a working environment called "Scrum", this really brought me up to speed and alignment with how the team functions and should function. Fun course with these instructors!
