Gregory Crown

Highly recommend taking this course with Greg. Excellent coverage of the materials, great use cases, challenging and fun.

Greg was a wonderful facilitator of the PAL-E course. He’s engaging and knowledgeable. I’d encourage other colleagues to sign up for his courses!

The instructor was organized, knowledgable, easy to talk to, and most of all kept to the time. Greg addressed all questions in a manner that was easy to understand with simple but important examples. Well done!

Greg is one of the best instructors I've ever had. Very knowledgeable and engaged. You can tell he has the experience and expertise to teach this class. I highly recommend any Scrum Master, Product Owner, Or future Product Owner to attend this course.

Amazing Instructor!

Great content delivered through healthy mix of presentations, discussions and workshops.

This class was amazing, I am currently in the midst of a career change so did not understand some of the concepts going into the class but now my understanding of the concepts is much clearer.

Gregory Crown was amazing. The training was detailed and hit home. After 1 day or training my assessment score went up 16 points. I 100% recommend Gregory Crown and Responsive Advisors

Great course and awesome instructor. Very good content I plan to take back and implement within my team

Very engaging

This was a great class. I really enjoyed learning from Greg Crown and would highly suggest the class. Huge amount of group activities to drive the points taught home with real world examples. Mr. Crown was also a very fun teacher to have guide us through the SCRUM framework.

am not confident to be a Scrum Master!

Greg did an excellent job keeping the class engaged and making the material enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this course, Greg had great case studies and material and kept us engaged.

Solid Teacher, great discussions and exercises. You will need to study outside the course, don't expect to be able to immediately take the test as soon as you get out.

Great instructor! He was very knowledgable with the Scrum process and passionate about the framework. There was never a dull moment throughout the course. I would definitely take another course with him as the instructor.

Excellent class! The instructor, Greg, was very thorough, engaging and animated, as well as passionate for the topic. Lots of real-world examples and hands-on especially on the second day. I like that the class rules encouraged us to remain on camera all the time, which forced us to remain engaged, with the instructor and each other. I love that the class and the company have a well-recognized reputation and stand behind the certifications provided. Everything is well set up and I learned lots of information toward my test/certification as well as for my day-to-day work. Thanks!

A lot of great information planned within a 2 day class. Gregory kept the class entertaining and the participates focused on what the core material was referencing at that point in time. I loves the break out group activities, as it really allowed you to put your understanding to test!

this was an excellent class. The interactive portion helped a lot.

Greg was very engaging and knowledgeable about Scrum and Scrum-related topics. I felt challenged at points and felt like I learned a lot and felt more prepared for the certification test.

This was an outstanding training! Empirical, engaging, valuable! It goes beyond PSM 1 test preparation. I liked how we practiced the theory and had lots of case studies. A smaller group size promoted active participation. Greg is very passionate about the topic and makes the learning process fun.

Thoroughly enjoyed the class and the instructor. The topics were well presented and the group had ample time to discuss, reflect, and build our learning. Highly recommend as a way to upgrade knowledge from PSM I or CSM.

Well organized and well paced. The exercises with other members allowed for new insights to be gained.

Had a great time in the class, both teachers made it fun and engaging.

Trainers were great.

It was hard to hear sometimes. The addition of the mic the second day was helpful but it wasn't always used. The white board and sticky pads were a little hard to see from the back of the room. Several times when we were to do group activities, my table was unclear about what we were supposed to do and when the slides disappeared from the screen we didn't have anything to reference. (We forgot that it might be in the booklet). Maybe offer more re-inforcement of definitions of key words. I keep forgetting what empiricism is and it would have been nice for a reminder along the way when the word was used. The practical examples from real world scenarios you had been involved with helped. The short breaks every hour worked well. Greg was very engaging and animated which was nice. Maggie was more practical. Something for everyone. Overall, nice job.

The class was very engaging and full of great information. I still feel as there is so much more to learn. One thing I was suggest is to start the class a few hours earlier as ending at 5PM is pretty late.

Greg is extremely helpful and knowledgeable with Scrum Framework. He is very patient and always attempt to clarify questions. Course is instructed as expected and very helpful.

The class was great and very interactive!! Greg provided a great environment and team collaboration.

It was a great experience. I have enjoyed the class very much although I was worried of the long duration of the class. the instructor was able to keep us engaged at all times and learn the material very well. The course and the instructor are highly recommended.

Great class overall; however if we can get fewer slides and more activities that would be great. Thank you

Highly Experience instructor. The class was very informative.

Engaging, Memorable, & Inspiring I went into the course a bit skeptical of the benefits of Scrum, having seen some painful attempts at integration before. After this class, I realize I had a misconception of what Scrum is, and see so much benefit it can bring to an organization. This class heavily centered around the value that a PO and Scrum Team can bring, and gave solid advice and examples of how to be accountable and build trust with stakeholders. Greg was excellent. I can't wait to begin utilizing what I learned here in my own workplace.

Greg had excellent energy and enthusiasm for Scrum. I feel like I understand all the roles and how they work together much better after taking this class.

Greg was great. Very detailed and realistic scenarios. Felt very confident moving forward.

I really enjoyed Greg Crown's class and how he presented the information. Having had some Scrum experience in the past, it was good to get a refresher as well as learn some of the changes that have occurred. A lot of the examples and the group work really helped reinforce the concepts to help apply them to our day-to-day jobs.

I fully recommend the Responsive Advisors training. It was a very engaging and hands-on experience. Gregory Crown conducted the session with mastery and professionalism. It was very much appreciated! - Daniela

I joined this class with zero Scrum experience and very little knowledge. During the class, Gregory, our teacher, was kind, funny and detailed on his explanations helping my learning process. His experience definitely enriched the class. This was a virtual class that is in itself a challenging environment but again, I had a great experience that I highly recommend. Gregory was sensible to everybody's needs and able to combine our different levels of knowledge and experience. The tasks and group discussions were also a great part of my learning. Thank you.

Greg was awesome! He really went out of his way to make the class engaging. The best online class I have attended would recommend 10/10 :)

This class by far exceeded my expectations! I thought it would be difficult to sit in a virtual learning session for two days. Greg was probably one of the best trainers (if not the best) trainer I’ve every had. He kept it up beat, collaborative, engaging, and fun! He really made the class what it was.

I like how the link between different notions from the Scrum guide were outlined and linked together in a holistic fashion. It made it easier for me to remember and understand them, as well as triggering thoughts about their application in the students' specific contexts. Greg is not trying to teach you the steps to becoming a perfect Product Owner but rather give you the tools and his experience's insights to come into your own using the Scrum framework. We had a dynamic and talkative group and he addressed our concerns and questions in details and with relevant examples. No rock of mental block was left unturned. I highly recommend his class to anyone struggling to understand how accountabilities, events and artifacts work together towards agile product management.

Grasping PSPO Concept The interactive approach of the class helps participants clearly grasp the complex concepts of the Product Owner role. The presentations used in the class were likewise very helpful. For an online class, the instructor effectively conducted the class and the 2-day 8 hrs classes went by so fast. The instructor was very cognizant of student's welfare, very engaging, approachable, and takes extra effort to clarify student's questions. Overall, this is a great class in preparing for the assessment.

Great course for learn the new way of work!

Excellent Class, really enjoy the dynamics and the examples provided by Greg.

As someone with minimal knowledge of Scrum, Greg did a great job explaining the core concepts. The class materials were well presented, with lots of humour mixed in along the way! I especially enjoyed participating in the breakout sessions with other class participants as they helped to reinforce the learning.

The course was organized and run extremely well by Greg Crown, eliciting participation and thinking from all attendees to facilitate learning. The course covered all the information that is needed to take the PSM exam, but more importantly, provided a strong understanding of how to really be a scrum master. One of the simulations of a case study was exceptional, driving home the learning in a way I will always remember.

This class was well structured and very helpful in preparing for the exam. We got a lot of real world examples, and worked in small teams to come up with solutions of our own. It was a very interactive and educational experience that I would recommend to anyone looking to learn scrum. I have been wanting to do scrum training for a long time, but could never find a class close enough to go. The online option finally made it available for me and I feel that I got just as much out of it as I would have out of an on site training, maybe a bit more.

Well Taught Class

Great class. Mind blowing. Real eye opener.

Even though the class was fully virtual due to Covid19 - Greg managed to make the best out of this class by combining theory with real life business cases, team assignments, at a good pace and a really good portion of humor. If you're looking for a complete course without being overwhelmed and that helps you really understand the whole SCRUM thinking, would definitely recommend! Thanks Greg!

I loved the Class the instructors were fun and very knowledgeable!

I took the Scrum Fundamentals training and overall, it was a great experience. Very professional instructors and the follow up and website are also very useful

The class was great, Russell and Greg were very patient, helpful and explained the terms, answered all our questions as many times as needed to ensure we fully understood. One aspect I would change is the 1st day. I felt that we spent too much time on introducing ourselves and preparing for the learning experience. One aspect I would keep: the working agreement and revisiting it at the start of every day.

An excellent training course. The trainer is fluent in the material, applies teaching practices that allow the trainees to remain involved in the learning process at all times. The atmosphere at the training is open, working and fun! Cool!

Very knowledgeable trainers, good atmosphere of fun and learning, good pace. Excellent opportunity to experience theory in action.

This class was very helpful in understanding and learning how to use Scrum. The class was very interactive and made it easy to stay concentrated on the material.

Great class; good real world instruction with a clear ability to connect Scrum Foundations to the purpose and defined outcomes. I would recommend to others!

Great Class This class was truly beneficial in my desire to gain more understanding of the requirements of a Scrum Master. I would attend classes by these instructors again.

This training was not like other workshops I have attended. It was engaging, hands on and applicable. The sessions were structured to stimulate conversation and thought - not just talked at all day. I feel I have walked away with more knowledge and confidence on Scrum Fundamentals and feel prepared to apply to my real life. Rich and Greg made the class fun and interactive - even for introverts like me!

Excellent Trainers!!

Really loved the class. Learned a lot and how Scrum will work and why it possibly wont work for my team. Great group of people with lots of different perspectives which is always fun. Some of the learning was a little rushed especially on the last day. Would have loved to have spent more time really drilling into some of the concepts more. Overall, highly recommend.

It was a very good class. Really liked the instructors. A lot of content for 2 days. In a non-covid environment I think the length of the class is fine, since the members can have further discussions during breaks/after class. Since I was familiar with the concepts, the class length was fine. However, it may have been difficult had I not had prior knowledge. Overall though, I would recommend this class and the instructors.

Excellent class. Good tutors. Knowledgable and helpful. Given that it was done online the pace and breaks were good.
