Great class!
The teacher was very nice and helpful. The class was extremely interactive instead of being a long lecture, which helped retain information through experiences.
The teacher also gave us plenty of examples, relevant past experiences, and tips to help do well in our Scrum assessments. Highly recommended!

James Quantrell is an amaizing instructor
Our instructor was giving us an amazing learning experience, with lots of useful examples, practical exercises, right to the point discussions, and necessary support to consolidate concepts within Scrum framework. I would encourage anybody to take the same training session with James Quantrell.

Jim made the course interactive didn't rush the deeper conversations so we could learn or share experiences of real world problems and bring it back to professional Scrum.
Confident going into the assessment and even more importantly I'm going back serve my team in a more effective way.

Great course made so by the people
Jim! The teacher was an expert, I've had to give trainings in the past and can appreciate how difficult it is to keep someone's attention for 3 hours in one day. He manages to keep it for 5 hours a day over 3 days. Dry and witty sense of humor gave some levity throughout, learned a lot through this interactive course.

James (Jim) was a great teacher
James (Jim) was a great teacher. He was funny, clear, knowledgeable and very patient so I felt comfortable to interrupt and ask questions which is sometimes hard with virtual teams. He helped make a bond through all the participants also which feels like and added bonus. I look forward to hopefully seeing him in the next level training or if I can get him to support in our Internal team trainings
