“Great Job!!!”
It was good. Day 1 overview concept could have been done in 4 hours prior to lunch...Great Job!!!
“Learned A Lot”
The class was very helpful to discuss practical application of scrum rather than solely theory, to share and learn from others' experiences, to understand exactly what scrum vs project management (among other topics). I learned a lot and look forward to applying it, thanks!
“Refined My Understanding”
I enjoyed hearing Dan's insights on Scrum. It was very enlightening and refined my understanding of Scrum. Story Point discussion was helpful.
“Met My Expectations”
The course met my expectations and gave me the information that I was looking for.
“Great Agile Coach”
The class information was good. The conversation was very good but at times not aligned with the course outline. Dan is a great agile coach who can provide experiential knowledge to address questions. As a CSM trainer, he would be good with a much smaller, less experiential diverse class
“Food For Thought”
A paradoxical course. Both invaluable and marginally useful. One might argue all courses are like this, but this course more than most. Class-driven discussion was very productive to a point. Most of the good stuff was in the discussion, but also derailed things so that there was less time for the interesting stuff at the end. At the end, it offers food for thought and some useful tools, so mission accomplished. In any case, it was great to take advantage of Dan's wealth of experience.
“Good Focus On Product Owner”
-Good focus on Product Owner and specific tasks of a P.O.
-Instructor has great understanding of scrum
-Good examples to make sense of content
“Dan Was Always Prepared”
The course was good, I found myself asking myself (team) introspective questions on scrum. The roles/responsibilities were clarified nicely, and Dan provided great examples and analogies. Dan was always prepared to answer questions from people of varying scrum experience levels.
“Great Nuggets of Information”
Lots of great nuggets of information. One challenge was understanding the fundamental responsibilities of the Product Owner, and how to be a successful Product Owner. There was a lot of info covered that crossed over to multiple roles (e.g. Project Management, Scrum Team, etc.) which made the Product Owner role unclear at times during the course.
“Good Ideas”
It started a bit slow on the first morning.
I liked the examples of different types of stories and backbones.
I liked the diagrams of scaling Agile to larger organizations.
We've been doing Scrum for a while, but there were some good ideas here to try.
