Great management course !
The course was very interesting and engaging, the pace was intense but really effective for understanding the topics. One point of improvement could be to dedicate more time to business cases or practical applications.

Very helpful
This class was very helpful to figure out exactly what is agile mindset, and to apply scrum every day in my professional context. We could share our personal concerns with other trainees and with the trainer to have practical advice we can easily and quickly try. The trainer was a good listener and adapted his class according to our needs.

Ottimo corso / Great course
E' stata un'esperienza estremamente coinvolgente, nonostante la modalità online. La maggior parte del tempo è stata spesa in lavori di gruppo focalizzati sulla comprensione profonda dei principi di Scrum, più che sui dettagli e le definizioni (che non sono comunque mancate). Il docente ci ha aiutato a contestualizzare ogni esercizio. Un'esperienza di apertura mentale più che una formazione. - It's been an extremel involving experience, despite being online. Most of the time we were divided in small groups doing exercises aimed at understanding the principles of Scrum, more than listening to details and definitions (definitions were there too, though). The trainer has helped us to put every exercise in the right context. It's been a mind-opening experience, not only a training course

About Fabio
I started my professional journey as a software engineer in 2001 and for several years I developed software products.
The following step was to work as a project and program manager using (and ofter hacking) traditional waterfall methodologies until I discovered, embraced and started practicing Scrum in 2013.
I love and I'm used to work with different cultures, thanks to my international experience, I'm trilingual (Italian, French and English) and always open to new challenging opportunities!
In 2010 I founded Collective Genius, in a mission to help people and companies to deliver complex products with Scrum. We provide professional Scrum training and coaching in Europe, mainly in France and Italy.
Since 2018, I trained 950+ people to professional Scrum with a satisfaction rate of 9,2 out of 10.
Some of my "public" work includes:
- The contribution to the translation in Italian of Gunther Verheyen's book "Scrum a Pocket Guide" (2019)
- The publication of a case study on organizational design "A World-Leading Company in Secure Communications Uses Scrum to Restore its Competitive Advantage" (2019) and a webinar registered in 2021.
- The contribution to Gunther Verheyen's book "97 Things Every Scrum Practitioner Should Know" (2019)
- Dave West, CEO @scrum.org, has interviewed me on the experience of becoming a Professional Scrum Trainer @scrum.org (2022)
