The course is engaging and really I could not stop the program till I was done. I finished it in about 5 days, that is how much I enjoyed this particular training. Thank you so much!

Great overview of Scrum terminology and processes. Would recommend some videos before shorter or more interactive points to drive learning (break into 4 min. chunks - 17 min. is too long).

The tutor took his time to explain each concept and the videos were short and straight to the point. Assignments and class works were challenging, which helps in understanding what is being taught.
