Engaging and Practical Scrum Training Experience at Scrumfacilitators.com
I recently attended a two-day training at Scrumfacilitators.com and it was a fantastic experience! Trainers Bas and Cheehong prepared us for the PSM-1 exam in an interactive and engaging way. What I especially appreciated was that there were no boring PowerPoint presentations, which was really refreshing. The training was practical and enjoyable, and it prepared me well for the exam. I passed!
Thank you, Bas and Cheehong, for this excellent training!"

A lesson in Scrum and in 'how to provide a great learning experience'
Apart from being great people and providing a great environment, especially the way of teaching stands out. There is continuous interaction going on, a lot of practical assignments which makes you think, talk and discuss the subjects. This helps a lot to internalise the information and not only understand the concepts, but also be able to apply it to the practical world.

Energetic, fun and inspirational training!
I was following the PSPO advanced training at the Scrum Facilitators.
The awesome location and hospitality makes you feel relaxed, creative and energised for the whole two training days. Hong and Kai were able to teach the theory in a way that makes it stick in a fun way. No powerpoint, just flip overs and mini workshops.
The practical experience they shared was inspirational.

Creative Trainers with full of energy !!!
First of all, trainers were very positive, creative and were transferring their positive energy to all of us regularly. It was a joy to be there these two days as we had a good training, listened to important cases based on experiences of each other and for me it was very effective. I also liked the place, coffee breaks, lunch and how they managed all this with great enthusiasm.
Wish the best to our perfect trainers!

A welcome difference from the usual workshops. Instead of just receiving or interactively working on cases, you are triggered here to start a conversation with your colleagues based on your own situation. Actually thinking about the applicability of the subject matter and the knowledge acquired.

Great and well facilitation
The class was well facilitated with interactive learning through group activities and discussion. Instructors are knowledgeable and experienced. Scrum theory was introduced, it may be good to have practicum to enhance learning on scrum implementation e.g. exercise to create concise and purposeful scrum artifacts.

Thank you!
My experience with Sanjay and Hong was awesome! It is not your typical boring class, they made it very engaging and fun.
I would comeback to get PSM-2 with them!

Very pleasant and interactive experience
It was easy and pleasant to follow the scrum classes of Hong and Lucas! Thanks to their way of teaching and tips, I didn't need to read the scrum guide that often to pass the PSM 1 exam today.

The 2 days class of Professional Scrum Master class in Singapore with the Scrum Facilitators was awesome and I really liked the way the class was conducted as full of mini workshop & discussions and no slides at all which made the class to be more interactive and fun & easy to learn and adopt.

Fantastic SCRUM Training
The SCRUM training was comprehensive, engaging and provided me with valuable insights into the Scrum framework.
Instructors Ziryan, Hong and Sanjay were very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, which made the training sessions enjoyable and engaging.
The training was also very interactive, with lots of group activities and discussions. This not only made the training sessions more enjoyable but also helped me to learn from my peers and gain different perspectives on the topic.
The training can be further enhanced if we were given the opportunity to work on a project in our industry trade using the Scrum framework. This will allow me to see how Scrum can be used to manage real-life projects effectively and efficiently.
Overall, I would highly recommend Scrum training to anyone who is interested in learning about Agile project management. It was a positive and valuable experience that I will take with me throughout my career.

Scrum training voor PSM 1
De 2 daagse scrum training voor PSM 1 heb ik gevold bij de Scrum Facilitators. Doordat de training interactief is en er veel workshops worden gegeven wordt de theorie met de praktijk verbonden. Dit is een waardevolle toevoeging van de training.
Tevens wordt je door de trainers Hong en Jenny goed voorbereid op het examen. Het waren 2 leuke en leerzame dagen.

A Great Start of Scrum
It was an interactive, fun, and educational class for me to learn the fundamentals of Scrum! Hong uses different coaching techniques to engage us during the training. He also shared numerous real-life examples so that you can have a better understanding of the context. It was a great learning experience!
Sep 14, 2022
The training was very intresting because of the interactivity with the students
The training was very intresting because of interactive lessons instead of looking the whole day to a powerpoint presentation.
Hong is very skilled in how to bring the knowledge over to the pupils. Good examples of situations!

Interactive training by Hong and Jenny
Got a 2-day PSM I training by Hong and Jenny. Really enjoyed their interactive way of teaching as opposed to standardized presentations. For me this way of teaching encourages a 'scrum' mindset, rather than simply memorize all the rules / guidelines. This made learning for the exam a bit more difficult, but I think in the long run is more beneficial.

They introduced me to Scrum in a very interactive and fun way. Because of the interactiveness of the course, the new knowledge is easier to remember. Thanks for this fun way of learning something new!

Een hele interactieve Scrum training met veel post-its!
Hong & Jenny hebben een super leuke en interactieve Scrum training in elkaar gezet. De tijd voelt snel te gaan, pas aan het eind merk je hoeveel stof ze hebben besproken, omdat je toch op een leuke manier heel veel leert. In de training is er altijd de mogelijkheid om vragen te stellen. Zelfs achteraf, wanneer je gaat oefenen voor de examen, zijn ze super open en behulpzaam. Tip: neem wel de scrum guide even goed door, als je nooit eerder met Scrum hebt gewerkt.
Feb 2, 2022
Original and creative workshop!
During a two-day workshop, Hong and Jenny used original and creative exercises to guide me through the essentials of Scrum. This workshop, combined with the clear explanations and practical stories, gave me the knowledge and tools to achieve my PSM1 certificate.
Feb 1, 2022
The training organized by Hong Chee…
The training organized by Hong Chee Hsia and Jenny Yung was a very fun, interactive and instructive training. The facilitators made sure the training stayed interesting the whole time. They shared a lot of experiences with their encounters of practicing scrum in de real business world. There were a lot of examples of Scrum best practices but also examples were Scrum was used poorly, this made the difference between best practices and poor use of the framework quite clear. Also prepared us well for the exam and let us fully think within a Scrum mindset to fully understand the ins and outs of the scrum Framework.
In short: A job well done by the facilitators of the training and they deserve a big recommendation to every one who wants to get familiar with Scrum.

The group interactions of the class…
The group interactions of the class highlights the principles of the SCRUM framework and helps to understand it via a very fun and good way. The trainers were clear in there answers and gave good feedback about the "why" and "how". Used materials where super and great accommodation.

Excellent
An excellent and interactive training, which improves the attention levels compared to traditional types of classes. This form of training leads to a better understanding of the scrum framework.
Nov 26, 2021
To the point
To the point training, with more then enough interaction to keep everyone focussed. After taking the course, I am more confident being a Scrum Master and succeeding the exam for PSMI.

A great way of learning Scrum.
A great way of learning Scrum.
Personally the way of teaching is really important.
You can always have a powerpoint slide and teach people the things that they have to know. But by playing random games and challenging each other with questions. you wont be learning only but also having fun and get know things even better.
Thank you very much for the lessons.
Oct 10, 2021
Interactieve, goede lessen
Zeer interactieve lessen met voldoende ruimte voor vragen en discussie. Top manier om je voor te bereiden voor het Scrum examen en Scrum op je werkplek.
Oct 8, 2021
Great training!
Scrum isn't that hard to understand, but at the beginning you need to have a new mindset for it. The guys from scrum-facilitators uses, besides slides, posters, exercise-cards a simple but very effective way of showing you, that new mindset. They also use LEGO! It looks funny at the beginning, "Are we going to build something with LEGO?" But it gives you the correct mindset during that complete learning process of scrum. Thanks for the Scrum class!
Oct 5, 2021
A valuable training
A valuable training and huge recommendation! Ziryan, Chee-Hong and Swen-Peter are great and enthusiastic instructors. We were introduced to Scrum by building cities with Lego, which was a fun and interactive way to apply what we were learning. Thanks a lot!

PSM Scrum Master I july 15, 2021 by Scrum facilitators
Jasper, Hong and Swen made the training PSM Scrum Master I fun and interesting. And with their tips and best practices it was a course where everyone could feel included. They also spent time on listening en helping with practical issues that students brought up.
Jul 16, 2021
Well done
Well done, because it is very difficult to keep participants connected using video conferencing. In my opinion, you did that very well by working interactively! Furthermore, it is very good to have trainers that put the theory into practice in the workplace.

PSM II course - great experience delivered by Scrum Facilitators
I have attended 2-day PSM II training (May 20-21, 2021) delivered by the amazing team of Scrum Facilitators (Chee-Hong Hsia, Ziryan Salayi and Swen-Peter Ekkebus). The experience, the energy exchange and simply knowledge that they shared with us was truly great! The training was highly interactive, well-structured and engaging. Also, our Scrum Facilitators made our learning journey fun! Should you wish to advance and grow further in your Scrum Master role, this is a right course to take! I was also delighted that I managed to successfully pass the exam after the first attempt :)) Thank you so much Scrum.org & Scrum Facilitators!
May 3, 2021
It is a interactive course
It is a interactive course, where you really get to create and interact with fellow students. It gives you the fundament from which you can start to grow and continue to learn. Great excersizes, loats of information and complementary sitelinks. Trainers Ziryan and Hong, both super experienced, take time and are willing to help you to make that next step.

Excellent PSK training by Chee-Hong and Jasper of the Scrum Facilitators
These energetic guys took us through the theory with lots of useful examples and exercises. Making it a very interactive and informative course. I can really recommend them!
Apr 17, 2021
Dynamic Duo
It was a nice training that Jasper and Hong provided for us. Very interactive and making good use of Zoom and Mural. If you did your preparations up front and read a lot about Kanban and Scrum you will not hear a lot of new stuff but discussing how things will work in practise is definitely useful.
Feb 4, 2021
Great PSMII training
I really liked the class PSMII with Scrum Facilitators. Jasper and Chee-Hong did a great job facilitating the training online. A lot was discussed in breakout rooms, where we were able to discuss all kinds of agile topics. Because of the training, I really understood the essence of a professional scrumaster, so the exam was'nt too hard for me in the end!

A fantastic PSPO 2 day course!
I really enjoyed the 2-day course and found it a really beneficial couple of days.
Steve and Ziryan were fantastic trainers, providing a wealth of experience and knowledge.
I was concerned before the course, it would be just an extended session looking at how to pass the certification and was pleasantly surprised with how to course was interactive and gave actual tools and techniques to use in the future.
I loved the multi-culture feel of the group and spending time with people situated in different countries, making some new connections and friends for the future.
Dec 8, 2020
A fantastic course
A fantastic course, interactive and fun. I particularly loved having a mix of Dutch and British attendees led by Scrum Facilitators and Steve Trapps. The course was good value for money and the use of Mural and Zoom with remote rooms in addition to the format and planning was excellent. Great bunch of people too.

Leerzaam en nuttig!
Na 3 maanden gewerkt te hebben in een development team, zonder scrumkennis nu de scrummaster training gevolgd. Veel viel op zijn plek, het kwartje viel. Nog steeds veel te leren maar dankzij jullie ben ik heel wat stappen verder. Zin om meer te leren en te beginnen als scrummaster. Veel liever was ik fysiek in een trainingsruimte geweest, dat praat toch wat makkelijker maar in deze tijden kan het niet anders dan online. Knap hoe jullie een online training hebben gegeven!
Sep 13, 2020
A training without PowerPoint
A training without PowerPoint, I had never experienced that before. The energy with which Jasper and Chee-Hong move in the group ensures that the essence becomes and remains clear. Although I thought I had trouble with interactive training, this one made me realize that it is the best way to learn.
Sep 7, 2020
2 days of great interactive learning
2 days of great, interactive learning. Especially the alternation of exercises, video's presentation and Q&A made it a valuable experience. The facilitators are able to bring theory and relevant experience to the table and don't have a fixed mindset: good argumentation can change the answer within the tolerance of the scrum framework.

First virtual PSM II class... WELL DONE :-)
First time a PSM II clas in a virtual way. The Scrum Facilitators did a good job in facilitating this training to us all. Using the correct tooling, well prepared, and nice to see how they worked together during the training. I would say, a good alternative to the co located version where you have the true face to face conversations! Thanks !
Feb 22, 2020

Great course. There was a nice balance between exercises and theory. Lots of good examples and everything was very well explained! Chee-Hong knows a lot about how companies are organized (or can be organized) and can give good 'real-life' examples.

Best teacher ever
When it comes to scrum, Hong knows everything! The way he teaches the class with lots of interaction was very helpful. I prefer his methods above one-sided teaching methods like a powerpoint presentation for example.

Insightful 2 days with top of the bill trainers!
PSM2 training focuses on practical experience and the translation of it to theory. So on one hand you want to have an energetic, serious, knowledgeable and diverse group of participants to learn with/from. On the other hand you need trainers who possess all the above as well, to guide you through the program.
Lucky me I had both. The training was very well structured and with their enthusiasm Hong and Jasper flew us through the whole program. I say flew because time flew by.
The training made me realise even more that the role of Scrum Master is full of ambiguity and therefore to a large extent viable for own interpretation. Talking experiences with 12 other participants made me more confident about how to handle all this.

The Professional Scrum Master 1…
The Professional Scrum Master 1 training was really great, and also educational. Our Professional Scrum Master 1 Trainer (Chee Hong Hsia), taught the lessons in a very fun and educational way.
Due to his way of teaching, i passed my professional scrum master 1 examination.
Good luck Chee Hong with your future classes and trainings.

Informative and interactive training to help you understand the basics of scrum. The training consists mostly of small workshops that keep you engaged and facilitate interaction and discussion. In the end this is the ideal preparation for the exam.

Fun but long
It was a nice break in the usual work week. There was a lot of repeating everything we learned so that was really helpful. We also had parts where we experienced working in scrum teams and that was very cool to do. I did think that the course could have been a bit shorter, I had the feeling that some things took too much time in my opinion. The message had come across but then we kept discussing about it. But maybe I'm the only one with that opinion because the other course members seemed to value those discussions.

Fantastic SCRUM Training
The SCRUM training was comprehensive, engaging and provided me with valuable insights into the Scrum framework.
Instructors Ziryan, Hong and Sanjay were very knowledgeable and passionate about the subject matter, which made the training sessions enjoyable and engaging.
The training was also very interactive, with lots of group activities and discussions. This not only made the training sessions more enjoyable but also helped me to learn from my peers and gain different perspectives on the topic.
The training can be further enhanced if we were given the opportunity to work on a project in our industry trade using the Scrum framework. This will allow me to see how Scrum can be used to manage real-life projects effectively and efficiently.
Overall, I would highly recommend Scrum training to anyone who is interested in learning about Agile project management. It was a positive and valuable experience that I will take with me throughout my career.

Scrum training voor PSM 1
De 2 daagse scrum training voor PSM 1 heb ik gevold bij de Scrum Facilitators. Doordat de training interactief is en er veel workshops worden gegeven wordt de theorie met de praktijk verbonden. Dit is een waardevolle toevoeging van de training.
Tevens wordt je door de trainers Hong en Jenny goed voorbereid op het examen. Het waren 2 leuke en leerzame dagen.

The training was extremely interesting and useful. Chee-hong & Sanjay presents the material with expertise, humor and genuineness. Looking forward to see them again for other trainings. And will surely use the knowledge they have shared in my Scrum career.

A Great Start of Scrum
It was an interactive, fun, and educational class for me to learn the fundamentals of Scrum! Hong uses different coaching techniques to engage us during the training. He also shared numerous real-life examples so that you can have a better understanding of the context. It was a great learning experience!

The training was very intresting because of the interactivity with the students
The training was very intresting because of interactive lessons instead of looking the whole day to a powerpoint presentation.
Hong is very skilled in how to bring the knowledge over to the pupils. Good examples of situations!

Interactive training by Hong and Jenny
Got a 2-day PSM I training by Hong and Jenny. Really enjoyed their interactive way of teaching as opposed to standardized presentations. For me this way of teaching encourages a 'scrum' mindset, rather than simply memorize all the rules / guidelines. This made learning for the exam a bit more difficult, but I think in the long run is more beneficial.

They introduced me to Scrum in a very interactive and fun way. Because of the interactiveness of the course, the new knowledge is easier to remember. Thanks for this fun way of learning something new!

Een hele interactieve Scrum training met veel post-its!
Hong & Jenny hebben een super leuke en interactieve Scrum training in elkaar gezet. De tijd voelt snel te gaan, pas aan het eind merk je hoeveel stof ze hebben besproken, omdat je toch op een leuke manier heel veel leert. In de training is er altijd de mogelijkheid om vragen te stellen. Zelfs achteraf, wanneer je gaat oefenen voor de examen, zijn ze super open en behulpzaam. Tip: neem wel de scrum guide even goed door, als je nooit eerder met Scrum hebt gewerkt.
Feb 2, 2022
Original and creative workshop!
During a two-day workshop, Hong and Jenny used original and creative exercises to guide me through the essentials of Scrum. This workshop, combined with the clear explanations and practical stories, gave me the knowledge and tools to achieve my PSM1 certificate.
Feb 1, 2022

The training organized by Hong Chee Hsia and Jenny Yung was a very fun, interactive and instructive training. The facilitators made sure the training stayed interesting the whole time. They shared a lot of experiences with their encounters of practicing scrum in de real business world. There were a lot of examples of Scrum best practices but also examples were Scrum was used poorly, this made the difference between best practices and poor use of the framework quite clear. Also prepared us well for the exam and let us fully think within a Scrum mindset to fully understand the ins and outs of the scrum Framework.
In short: A job well done by the facilitators of the training and they deserve a big recommendation to every one who wants to get familiar with Scrum.

The group interactions of the class…
The group interactions of the class highlights the principles of the SCRUM framework and helps to understand it via a very fun and good way. The trainers were clear in there answers and gave good feedback about the "why" and "how". Used materials where super and great accommodation.

Excellent
An excellent and interactive training, which improves the attention levels compared to traditional types of classes. This form of training leads to a better understanding of the scrum framework.

To the point
To the point training, with more then enough interaction to keep everyone focussed. After taking the course, I am more confident being a Scrum Master and succeeding the exam for PSMI.

A great way of learning Scrum.
A great way of learning Scrum.
Personally the way of teaching is really important.
You can always have a powerpoint slide and teach people the things that they have to know. But by playing random games and challenging each other with questions. you wont be learning only but also having fun and get know things even better.
Thank you very much for the lessons.

Interactieve, goede lessen
Zeer interactieve lessen met voldoende ruimte voor vragen en discussie. Top manier om je voor te bereiden voor het Scrum examen en Scrum op je werkplek.
Oct 8, 2021
Great training!
Scrum isn't that hard to understand, but at the beginning you need to have a new mindset for it. The guys from scrum-facilitators uses, besides slides, posters, exercise-cards a simple but very effective way of showing you, that new mindset. They also use LEGO! It looks funny at the beginning, "Are we going to build something with LEGO?" But it gives you the correct mindset during that complete learning process of scrum. Thanks for the Scrum class!
Oct 5, 2021
A valuable training
A valuable training and huge recommendation! Ziryan, Chee-Hong and Swen-Peter are great and enthusiastic instructors. We were introduced to Scrum by building cities with Lego, which was a fun and interactive way to apply what we were learning. Thanks a lot!

PSM Scrum Master I july 15, 2021 by Scrum facilitators
Jasper, Hong and Swen made the training PSM Scrum Master I fun and interesting. And with their tips and best practices it was a course where everyone could feel included. They also spent time on listening en helping with practical issues that students brought up.
Jul 16, 2021
Well done
Well done, because it is very difficult to keep participants connected using video conferencing. In my opinion, you did that very well by working interactively! Furthermore, it is very good to have trainers that put the theory into practice in the workplace.

PSM II course - great experience delivered by Scrum Facilitators
I have attended 2-day PSM II training (May 20-21, 2021) delivered by the amazing team of Scrum Facilitators (Chee-Hong Hsia, Ziryan Salayi and Swen-Peter Ekkebus). The experience, the energy exchange and simply knowledge that they shared with us was truly great! The training was highly interactive, well-structured and engaging. Also, our Scrum Facilitators made our learning journey fun! Should you wish to advance and grow further in your Scrum Master role, this is a right course to take! I was also delighted that I managed to successfully pass the exam after the first attempt :)) Thank you so much Scrum.org & Scrum Facilitators!

It is a interactive course
It is a interactive course, where you really get to create and interact with fellow students. It gives you the fundament from which you can start to grow and continue to learn. Great excersizes, loats of information and complementary sitelinks. Trainers Ziryan and Hong, both super experienced, take time and are willing to help you to make that next step.

Excellent PSK training by Chee-Hong and Jasper of the Scrum Facilitators
These energetic guys took us through the theory with lots of useful examples and exercises. Making it a very interactive and informative course. I can really recommend them!
Apr 17, 2021
Dynamic Duo
It was a nice training that Jasper and Hong provided for us. Very interactive and making good use of Zoom and Mural. If you did your preparations up front and read a lot about Kanban and Scrum you will not hear a lot of new stuff but discussing how things will work in practise is definitely useful.

Great PSMII training
I really liked the class PSMII with Scrum Facilitators. Jasper and Chee-Hong did a great job facilitating the training online. A lot was discussed in breakout rooms, where we were able to discuss all kinds of agile topics. Because of the training, I really understood the essence of a professional scrumaster, so the exam was'nt too hard for me in the end!

A fantastic PSPO 2 day course!
I really enjoyed the 2-day course and found it a really beneficial couple of days.
Steve and Ziryan were fantastic trainers, providing a wealth of experience and knowledge.
I was concerned before the course, it would be just an extended session looking at how to pass the certification and was pleasantly surprised with how to course was interactive and gave actual tools and techniques to use in the future.
I loved the multi-culture feel of the group and spending time with people situated in different countries, making some new connections and friends for the future.

A fantastic course
A fantastic course, interactive and fun. I particularly loved having a mix of Dutch and British attendees led by Scrum Facilitators and Steve Trapps. The course was good value for money and the use of Mural and Zoom with remote rooms in addition to the format and planning was excellent. Great bunch of people too.

Leerzaam en nuttig!
Na 3 maanden gewerkt te hebben in een development team, zonder scrumkennis nu de scrummaster training gevolgd. Veel viel op zijn plek, het kwartje viel. Nog steeds veel te leren maar dankzij jullie ben ik heel wat stappen verder. Zin om meer te leren en te beginnen als scrummaster. Veel liever was ik fysiek in een trainingsruimte geweest, dat praat toch wat makkelijker maar in deze tijden kan het niet anders dan online. Knap hoe jullie een online training hebben gegeven!

A training without PowerPoint
A training without PowerPoint, I had never experienced that before. The energy with which Jasper and Chee-Hong move in the group ensures that the essence becomes and remains clear. Although I thought I had trouble with interactive training, this one made me realize that it is the best way to learn.
Sep 7, 2020
2 days of great interactive learning
2 days of great, interactive learning. Especially the alternation of exercises, video's presentation and Q&A made it a valuable experience. The facilitators are able to bring theory and relevant experience to the table and don't have a fixed mindset: good argumentation can change the answer within the tolerance of the scrum framework.

First virtual PSM II class... WELL DONE :-)
First time a PSM II clas in a virtual way. The Scrum Facilitators did a good job in facilitating this training to us all. Using the correct tooling, well prepared, and nice to see how they worked together during the training. I would say, a good alternative to the co located version where you have the true face to face conversations! Thanks !

Great course. There was a nice balance between exercises and theory. Lots of good examples and everything was very well explained! Chee-Hong knows a lot about how companies are organized (or can be organized) and can give good 'real-life' examples.

Best teacher ever
When it comes to scrum, Hong knows everything! The way he teaches the class with lots of interaction was very helpful. I prefer his methods above one-sided teaching methods like a powerpoint presentation for example.

The workshop was presented with great enthousiasm and it explains well what scrum is and what it is not. Illustrative examples are often given, which are very supportive, as well as the many interactive exercises. After this course one should have a clear understanding of Scrum.

Insightful 2 days with top of the bill trainers!
PSM2 training focuses on practical experience and the translation of it to theory. So on one hand you want to have an energetic, serious, knowledgeable and diverse group of participants to learn with/from. On the other hand you need trainers who possess all the above as well, to guide you through the program.
Lucky me I had both. The training was very well structured and with their enthusiasm Hong and Jasper flew us through the whole program. I say flew because time flew by.
The training made me realise even more that the role of Scrum Master is full of ambiguity and therefore to a large extent viable for own interpretation. Talking experiences with 12 other participants made me more confident about how to handle all this.

The Professional Scrum Master 1 training was really great, and also educational. Our Professional Scrum Master 1 Trainer (Chee Hong Hsia), taught the lessons in a very fun and educational way.
Due to his way of teaching, i passed my professional scrum master 1 examination.
Good luck Chee Hong with your future classes and trainings.

Informative and interactive training to help you understand the basics of scrum. The training consists mostly of small workshops that keep you engaged and facilitate interaction and discussion. In the end this is the ideal preparation for the exam.

Fun but long
It was a nice break in the usual work week. There was a lot of repeating everything we learned so that was really helpful. We also had parts where we experienced working in scrum teams and that was very cool to do. I did think that the course could have been a bit shorter, I had the feeling that some things took too much time in my opinion. The message had come across but then we kept discussing about it. But maybe I'm the only one with that opinion because the other course members seemed to value those discussions.
