Very enjoyable. Way better than just "how to pass the CSM test"

Dan was a great teacher; charismatic and made the material lively. A lot of real life situations were referenced, which makes sense, but I was hoping to talk a little more philosophy. I also expected mimicry of real life events that we'd discuss and solve. All and all I feel I'm prepared for the exam and will carry many lessons with me into my current job, career and beyond.

This is an awesome course for people who want to improve the team working process. I learned the importance of agility that can prevent scope creep. Which is one of our company's major issue.

Was hoping for more examples using scrum and agile in real world examples
-challenges in management, expectations and tips
-most common challenges expected and how to go about making changes to improve

-In Canada we aren't military focused, having more "business related examples would have been beneficial.
-The group exercises were beneficial
-Hotel and Food were good
-Feel like the content only skimmed the top layer of info and would have been nice to dive deeper.

Because my company has a very hybrid-ized/customized Agile methodology and I because I am more involved in sustainment support, I struggled with how to apply the training. However, the content is excellent, I learned a lot, and I will be able to ScrumMaster my teams!

Thank you,
Sharon
