Summer Lawrence

Breakout sessions were helpful. Class was very interactive which helps in an all-day class.

Summer is such a dynamic, engaging trainer! She made the topics relatable with real-world practice sessions and small groups. I didn’t feel like I had any less interaction than I would have if we were all in person.

The instructor was very engaging, and the hands on practice we did was a lot of fun

Agile and Scrum content was covered, understandable, and applicable. Summer was an excellent and engaging instructor.

Summer is an excellent instructor who was able to relate the course with real world examples. She is very engaging and challenged us to think about ways we can implement our learning into our own lives.

Summer did a great job breaking down Professional Scrum.

Our Instructor Summer did a great job teaching us by giving us actual sprint event simulations. She was very knowledgeable and kept the class fun.

Summer did a great job explaining the information in a way that made it easy to understand. She was able to find examples of real life situations that were related to everyone in the class, which was very helpful. She also did a great job making the class interactive and providing opportunities for us to test our knowledge throughout the course, proving ample opportunity for questions to be answered.

Great instructor and a good experience

Great Material and Awesome Instructor The reasons I enjoyed the course were: 1. Summer's effortless teaching ability. I left the course feeling like I truly understood the intentions behind the material. The structure of the class was a good mix of material review, examples, and exercises. The group of people I worked with were also very engaged. 2. The example list of Key Value Measures and their relationship to current value, unrealized value, ability to innovate, and time-to-market. This is something that I'm very interested in applying to my team. 3. The material was thought provoking. The things I'd enjoy for future classes: 1. I want to dive into the Key Value Measures more. Perhaps include an exercise where you setup the formulas for the KVM. For example, the KVM 'technical debt'. I would like to unpack how you can measure that. How have others done it? What are methods someone could use to quantify the technical debt KVM? Truly, I'd like to be able to 2. Is it possible to create a second level of the PAL-EBM similar to how there is a PSPO I and II? The content and material is very good but I want more. It feels like there is a lot more that could be discussed around ways to implement and create work systems that support this type of delivery. Overall, this class inspired me to run some experiments! Based on the content of the course, that seems like a good outcome!

I found the PAG-EBM training highly valuable. The instructor, Summer, did an excellent job teaching us practical evidence-based management techniques that I can apply on my team. I gained new insights into using data and research to inform management decisions, which will make me a more effective leader. My key takeaways are the importance of being objective, seeking multiple perspectives, and challenging assumptions. I would strongly recommend this class to any manager looking to enhance their leadership toolkit with research-backed methods. The skills I learned will help me synthesize information, ask better questions, and make sound, ethical choices that drive results.

The instructor provided real life scenarios to help me apply and better understand vs just reading materials. Materials provided were straight forward, well laid out and not overwhelming.

You won't be Blue after attending . Not your everyday run-of-the-mill Web Session. Truly Interactive with true-to-life experiences to reflect on share by everyone especially the instructor. My vision of Scrum was the tip of the iceberg prior to this class. Student interaction is a plus so don't be shy

The instructor was engaging, provided best practice scenarios with real-life experience and kept the class engaging for both training days.

This training helped me break my myth's about Scrum Mastery in general and gave me the opportunity to learn Professional Scrum practices.

Great content and very relevant to any modern digital transformation effort.

Excellent instructor and well laid out material, it was easy to understand and the practical exercises in class helped to drive it home. I would definitely recommend both the class and the instructor to all colleagues and friends.

Very helpful. Loved the interaction and group learning experience. I was way out of my league with the basic knowledge of SCRUM. I should do it again when I understand better.

Summer is an mazing coach. She provides tons of real life examples and always keeps the audience engaged. I love the energy and practical usage of information she delivers in her class.

Information & Engaging. Summer did a great job of communicating and helping the class experience the fundamentals & foundations of the Scrum framework.

There was a lot of role playing that I was not prepared for or aware would be involved, but in the long run brought things full circle. I normally no not like learning through that method, but over-all, it helped you understand the content better.

Very good class about the fundamentals of Scrum!

Our instructor, Summer, was engaging and very aware of real-life day-to-day challenges. I definitely walked away with a much better understanding of SCRUM and the components of an Agile Team.

while I have not had a lot of experience, based on the training I received and the material available, this is a well-run organization

The material was well represented in the class. I gave this class 5 stars because Summer was able to teach and give real scenarios which really helped connect many concepts for me. I enjoyed the training and walked away with a much better understanding of the scrum framework and how to utilize it at clients.

The subject is tedious and dry but Summer does a great job of explaining, using real world examples and make sure the students put the effort in understanding

Great class with an outstanding instructor (Summer Lawrence). I wish it was more focused on both learning in depth Scrum for product development (instead of focusing on software development) and passing the assessment with more practice and tips. I became passionate with Scrum and I can't wait to become certified after this class.

Excellent Experience The class was informative with diverse learning opportunities spanning small team and full class discussion, activity participation, facilitation opportunity and materials to study and help jog the memory. The instructor was fully versed in the topic of Professional Scrum Master and made the information applicable to reality. She was both professional and personable. I highly recommend the class!

Summer was a great instructor. She demonstrates her knowledge well through her lessons. There were some great interactive modules that taught us the principles while also equipping us with a way to teach our own Scrum teams. Great class!

This course was excellent in all facets. The instructor covered scrum from theory to case studies with relevant and informative real world experiences. The course clearly described why scrum is important how it can be most effectively incorporated into an organization. Finally, the instructor was able to identify and challenge ingrained assumptions about scrum and the work experience in generally that was truly enlightening

Good course and great instructor I had a good time with this course. The instructor was very knowledgable and adaptable to how the class preferred to learn. Summer is highly recommended.

Great introductory course to Scrum.
