What students say about Daria
Nov 19, 2024
Great Experience
Daria's presentation and lesson plan was easy to follow, engaging, and thorough. Her real world experiences informed the lessons and made them very relatable. Our group was fun, and I learned a lot that I didn't understand before taking the class. I look forward to any future trainings Daria may offer

Positive Class with Many Interactions
I really liked how positive Daria was throughout class. Encouraging our conversations and providing insights into how to handle tricky situations.

Daria's class was so helpful
Daria's class was so helpful. It gave me a more comprehensive understanding of the "why" things are done in scrum to go with the "what". She shared her experiences and we learned not take facts at face value, but to dig deeper and think about the cause. This gives us a better approach on improving a situation. Due to her course I passed the exam with 100 on my first attempt.

Daria was a very good teacher
I recently completed the Professional Scrum Master 2 (PSM 2) training
Dairia was exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging, providing real-world examples and practical insights that made the learning experience both informative and enjoyable. The course materials were well-structured and up-to-date, ensuring that I was well-prepared to tackle the challenges of advanced Scrum practices.

Comprehensive Understanding of Scrum
The PSM II Training provided a comprehensive overview of the Scrum framework and the role of the Scrum Master. The course covers a wide range of topics, including the values and principles of Scrum, the Scrum Master role, the Scrum Team, the Product Owner, and the organization. The course also provides valuable insights into how to facilitate effective communication and collaboration within the team and with stakeholders, how to measure progress and success, and how to foster a culture of continuous improvement and learning. Overall, the PSM II Training is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Scrum and improve their performance as a Scrum Master.

PSM Training by Daria at ScrumMastered
I recommend the training course. It was practical, experiential and highly-engaging. The periodic case-studies during the class made the concepts easier to understand, and the group arrangement facilitated collaboration and idea sharing. Lastly, I attempted the PSM 1 exam few days after the training program, and I passed it.

Breath of Highly Needed Fresh Air
The sharing of experiences and knowledge. A terrific trainer with the courage to challenge us and steer us towards finding the "right" answers by ourselves. A very passionate group of fellow students.
All in all, I had the feeling of conversing with peers, which happens less often than I realized during my day-to-day.
Oct 26, 2022
Interactive and relevant
Using liberating structures and relevant prompts, Daria brought us back to the basic "why's" of the scrum methodology, and guided us to proper "how-to's" and "how-not-to's". I definitively recommend this training to experienced scrum masters.
Oct 20, 2022
Practical and Funny
It was very practical, we worked over different scenarios, and business case, it was constructive and funny.
Oct 20, 2022
Super interactive class
Daria did a great job!
We went back to the basics of scrum and the mindset we must have to understand correctly our role in the organization
This is by far the most interactive class I ever attend, we had the chance to talk / brainstorm / inspect our ways of working with the other participants.
Bonus : It's almost an introduction to the liberating structures and ways of facilitating discussion
Would recommend to any SM but also to the middle/upper management
Oct 20, 2022
Constructive training
Daria did a great job sharing experiences within the whole group (15 participants). I recommend this class after a couple of years of experience.

Daria rocks!
Daria was obviously very qualified to be giving this class. She gave lots of real-world examples and encouraged great participation. I was in a very engaged class which made break-out rooms much easier. This was also my first introduction to Miro, which is now going to be a staple for my team! I can't wait to continue on my Agile journey.

Revisit the Scrum Master's stances
Daria is passionate about scrum mastering, which makes this course very interesting to go further on the Scrum Master's role.
The course must be even more interesting when you have seasoned attendees (some people have very few experience and just passed their PSM I some weeks before).
The exam is pretty easy compared to PSPO Advanced (that I recommend, in the same idea of going beyond beginner stance and influence).

PSM II training very recommended
Thank you for the amazing training of PSM II.
Daria is clear with her ideas and facilitation techniques. Also, I felt very prepared for the certification because of the valuable insights she exposed to the group.
The whole training is very hands-on, which is different from formal presentations and workshops. 3 days of intense activities which pushed me further in the career path.
Thank you, Daria, and all the best on your way.

Strive to be better leaders that serves!
I attended PSM II course recently and really enjoyed those three days. This is a really well organized training, engaging, where we can deep-dive into our practice as Scrum Masters and share a lot of experiences with our peers. Daria our instructor gave us a lot of beneficial insights, she is very experiences and has really good communication and facilitation skills. She is asking the good questions to make us reflect on how we are handling difficult situations and how we can strive to be better leaders that serves!
I took this class online unlike the PSM I due to COVID and even though done through Zoom, we had really good interactions and exercices in breakout rooms and using Miro and I did not feel this was less effective than being in a room with all participants.
I came out of the course with some learnings I can apply in my day to day at work. I would have like to get more coaching tips out of it but this will probably be another certification I will take in a near future.
Overall, I really recommend both the class and the instructor Daria Bagina, if you want to improve your techniques, learn how to support better the whole organization, your Product Owner, your dev team in how to implement Scrum and get more understanding about your role while sharing some learning and experiences with others, this course is for you.
Oct 11, 2021
Perfect!
Great training with lots of exercices and real life examples. Enlightened me on my weakness as a Scrum Master, help me to improve my skills and prepare me for the PSM II exam. The course is a must in preparation for the exam.

I was expecting to be more ready to take the assesment. And I got what I was expecting.
Sep 3, 2021
Great instructor
Great instructor! Daria knows her stuff :) Would have liked to see even more real world example of how to act as a scrum master and since I already learned by myself the basics of scrum prior to the formation, I would have appreciated to go a bit more in depth during those 2 days. The interactions using Miro and the breakout rooms were a nice way to interact while in global pandemic situation. Overall interesting course that gives a great Scrum overview and insight into the role of a scrum master

Thank you Daria!
I don't quite know how Pyxis Canada does it, they always have great trainers, who have a ton of experience in their respective field, and have a passion for transmitting their precious know-how. And that's exactly how I would describe Daria : experienced, passionate and an excellent trainer.
Thank you for the course, I just nailed the certification on top of it :)
Cheers,

Daria was a great teacher, with solid material and a focus on practical, real-world applications. Despite doing this in a virtual space, it was very beneficial and I guess it's as good as it gets for a 3-day professional training!

Worth it
Very happy with the training I have received. Training was time-boxed properly and the trainer had a very good knowledge of Scrum, had an ease teaching it and was well prepared.
The visual support and interactive exercises were compelling (something that is hard to do remotely so, well done).

What makes or breaks training is the instruction, and I was very fortunate to have Daria as my teacher! Highly recommended to take this as there were so many eye openers. Thank you Daria for keeping it interactive and meaningful!
Feb 13, 2021
A solid 5 stars
The PSM II course was excellent. It was a 3-day course filled with group exercises that teach us how to effectively apply Scrum within a team and within an organization. It goes beyond the basics of what is in the Scrum guide by focusing on the Scrum values, the Scrum Master as a servant leader to the team, to the product owner and to the organization, the Scrum Master stances, etc. What I liked the most about the group exercises was sharing our experiences with Scrum, the challenges we face and how we overcome those challenges.

This is hands down one of the best training sessions I’ve been part of. Extremely well organised, engaging and Daria was extremely helpful and knowledgable.The tools were very intuitive to use and the exercises and case studies were things that I expect could happen in the day to day of my work. Would be interested to take other classes for other certifications in the future
Oct 23, 2020
This class was simply amazing!
This class was simply amazing! My instructor, Daria Bagina, really mastered the material and most importantly, her experience in the industry allowed her to provide excellent answers to any "real-life" questions.
Due to COVID, I took the class online. The material was clearly presented, the interactions, even though done through Zoom, were very good (the instructor used Miro, an online whiteboard, very effectively and it was easy for everyone to use it as well)
On the overall, I strongly recommend both the class and the instructor.
Aug 29, 2020
Overall it's a great training! very helpful.
Less effect interactive than a in classroom training, However Daria, the trainer provided very clear guides on foundation concepts of Scrum, and how to be a success PSM. Very helpful.
Jul 31, 2020

Excellent course delivered virtually
The PSM II course delivered by Daria was fabulous! The class consisted of students across multiple time zones and around the globe including Canada, UK, and China.
Other than a few technical hiccups over the course of 3-days, learning virtually was a great experience as it allowed collaboration from individuals experiences that you would not have gotten in a physical classroom. I love learning virtually; so many more doors open with this delivery.
Kudos to Daria who was professional, knowledgeable and thought provoking.
Highly recommend virtual training and of course Daria!
Jun 19, 2020
Much deeper understanding of Scrum
I gained a much deeper understanding of Scrum from this class and some critical insights on how to apply it in real life. I especially appreciated the way Daria asks "why" - why is that the right / wrong answer. Even though participants were scattered across multiple time zones with the usual frustrations of dropped connections and unreliable audio, Daria remained totally calm and professional throughout and taught a remote class that I'd certainly choose again over some in-person classes I've attended.
May 27, 2020
Enjoyed the class
Enjoyed the class. Instructor was very clear and provided good real life examples as well as a lot of extra reading materials. Breakout sessions were also well organized and Miro was a great collaboration tool. Structure was well organized with sufficient breaks.
Thank you for an amazing 2 days !

The virtual class was really engaging with lot of interactive exercices. Daria and Pawel did a great facilitation making the training enjoyful and effective very similar to in-person experience.

About Daria
My focus is to help teams and organizations to create better working environments. The kind of workplaces where self-organizing self-motivated teams build awesome products.
I have a wide-angle view on the common challenges thanks to my diverse experience. My journey led me from Russia to France and now to Canada. Along the way, I worked with organizations in a variety of industries such as fintech, network security, cloud engineering, video game production and more.
Not only that, but I also had a chance to work with top leaders in huge corporations with more than 60k employees, medium-sized companies of 500 employees as well as start-ups of 15 people.
One of my strengths is my creativity. Thanks to the creative approach teams I work with discover new ways to look at old problems and find new solutions. I adapt my teachings and practices to each situation I encounter to increase engagement and empower people to make decisions.
My passion lies in mentoring Scrum Masters by providing them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. As a practicing Scrum Master myself, I know what the role entails on a daily basis. As a Professional Scrum Trainer I can help bridge the knowledge gap through high-quality Scrum training materials. But I don’t stop there.
To foster higher collaboration in the community, provide practical tools and inspire others I founded ScrumMastered. This is where I share even more knowledge and skills that can help Scrum Masters grow in their role the same as I did throughout the years.

The class was amazing. Daria is a very good trainer and the way it has been setup in Miro is a masterclass.

Great instructor
Great instructor! Daria knows her stuff :) Would have liked to see even more real world example of how to act as a scrum master and since I already learned by myself the basics of scrum prior to the formation, I would have appreciated to go a bit more in depth during those 2 days. The interactions using Miro and the breakout rooms were a nice way to interact while in global pandemic situation. Overall interesting course that gives a great Scrum overview and insight into the role of a scrum master

Thank you Daria!
I don't quite know how Pyxis Canada does it, they always have great trainers, who have a ton of experience in their respective field, and have a passion for transmitting their precious know-how. And that's exactly how I would describe Daria : experienced, passionate and an excellent trainer.
Thank you for the course, I just nailed the certification on top of it :)
Cheers,

Beyond the theory
Daria was a great teacher, with solid material and a focus on practical, real-world applications. Despite doing this in a virtual space, it was very beneficial and I guess it's as good as it gets for a 3-day professional training!

Worth it
Very happy with the training I have received. Training was time-boxed properly and the trainer had a very good knowledge of Scrum, had an ease teaching it and was well prepared.
The visual support and interactive exercises were compelling (something that is hard to do remotely so, well done).

Super Insightful and Interactive Class

An eye opener!
What makes or breaks training is the instruction, and I was very fortunate to have Daria as my teacher! Highly recommended to take this as there were so many eye openers. Thank you Daria for keeping it interactive and meaningful!

A solid 5 stars
The PSM II course was excellent. It was a 3-day course filled with group exercises that teach us how to effectively apply Scrum within a team and within an organization. It goes beyond the basics of what is in the Scrum guide by focusing on the Scrum values, the Scrum Master as a servant leader to the team, to the product owner and to the organization, the Scrum Master stances, etc. What I liked the most about the group exercises was sharing our experiences with Scrum, the challenges we face and how we overcome those challenges.

Excellent facilitation and relevant content. Learned a lot about how to better serve not just the development team but our Product Owner and the organization. I also gained more insight into what I need to stop doing in order to better serve the team.

This is hands down one of the best training sessions I’ve been part of. Extremely well organised, engaging and Daria was extremely helpful and knowledgable.The tools were very intuitive to use and the exercises and case studies were things that I expect could happen in the day to day of my work. Would be interested to take other classes for other certifications in the future

This class was simply amazing!
This class was simply amazing! My instructor, Daria Bagina, really mastered the material and most importantly, her experience in the industry allowed her to provide excellent answers to any "real-life" questions.
Due to COVID, I took the class online. The material was clearly presented, the interactions, even though done through Zoom, were very good (the instructor used Miro, an online whiteboard, very effectively and it was easy for everyone to use it as well)
On the overall, I strongly recommend both the class and the instructor.

Overall it's a great training! very helpful.
Less effect interactive than a in classroom training, However Daria, the trainer provided very clear guides on foundation concepts of Scrum, and how to be a success PSM. Very helpful.

One of the best teachers!
Daria was great! The way she teaches you is extremely hands on even through virtual! She lets you learn from your mistakes and when she does you learn so much more! I learned so much in three days with her than I have in a whole semester of college!

Excellent course delivered virtually
The PSM II course delivered by Daria was fabulous! The class consisted of students across multiple time zones and around the globe including Canada, UK, and China.
Other than a few technical hiccups over the course of 3-days, learning virtually was a great experience as it allowed collaboration from individuals experiences that you would not have gotten in a physical classroom. I love learning virtually; so many more doors open with this delivery.
Kudos to Daria who was professional, knowledgeable and thought provoking.
Highly recommend virtual training and of course Daria!

Much deeper understanding of Scrum
I gained a much deeper understanding of Scrum from this class and some critical insights on how to apply it in real life. I especially appreciated the way Daria asks "why" - why is that the right / wrong answer. Even though participants were scattered across multiple time zones with the usual frustrations of dropped connections and unreliable audio, Daria remained totally calm and professional throughout and taught a remote class that I'd certainly choose again over some in-person classes I've attended.

Enjoyed the class
Enjoyed the class. Instructor was very clear and provided good real life examples as well as a lot of extra reading materials. Breakout sessions were also well organized and Miro was a great collaboration tool. Structure was well organized with sufficient breaks.
Thank you for an amazing 2 days !

The virtual class was really engaging with lot of interactive exercices. Daria and Pawel did a great facilitation making the training enjoyful and effective very similar to in-person experience.
The PSM-II class bring a lot of real case exercices that could easily re-used in our organisation which a great added value!
