I took the PSM I class with Isaac Scott Adams. The way the material of this class was taught has definitely changed my life and my mindset. Grand Scrum Master Scott was extremely knowledgeable, and catered to each student at all times to be sure no one was left behind and understood each and every concept. The class size was perfect, and with people on all levels of scrum experience. The breakout room projects gave the opportunity to build and learn as a team in an actual scrum environment, which was extremely informative and valuable. Grand Scrum Master Scott gave all the material needed to not only pass the test, but the mind-frame to take with you to continue to be successful, and learn in this industry in real time. We were taught things that will continue to help us learn more and prosper in any Scrum/Agile environment. I would recommend this class with him 100%

This class was outstanding! Scott was an amazing teacher and throughout the course he kept all of us constantly engaged and working with the material. He worked to gauge the general knowledge of the group and tailored the time to address any holes in our general knowledge and was always happy to go back to something or answer questions. His positive and supportive personality helped me to learn more from the course than I could have ever asked. Scott builds a learning environment that encourages his students to truly understand what he teaches. I would highly recommend this class to others and would happily take more courses with him!

Great class, great instructor
This class is essential if you want to KNOW Agile and Scrum. Scott is a fantastic teacher. He presents the content in a practical way that allows you to retain and build on what you learn as the class progresses. He is energetic and has a vast amount of personal experience to share. This really helps you to grasp the real-world application of the concepts. He, also, offers outside references, books, etc. to expand your knowledge and is willing to take time to talk to you one on one. Through this class and Scott's tutoring, I passed my PSM exam on the first try with flying colors. I highly recommend the class and Scott Adams.

Scrum Mastery from a Scrum Master
Researching scrum provides a wealth of resources, but to truly understand scrum, it needs to be distilled by a scrum master. This class, and the teacher, excelled in this aspect. There were points in the learning where the prescribed exemplars by the teacher solidified the teaching.
Breakout sessions are always awkward for some, especially in a digital environment. The teacher and the class exercises helped to break that down in to learning and applicable exercises. In essence, the break out sessions helped focus on the teachings AND subconsciously apply the teachings.

Scott Adams is a phenomenal instructor
Scott Adams is a phenomenal instructor. Not only were the sessions he taught helpful, he really knew how to break it down and give examples so that it all makes sense. I recommend anyone looking to get into Scrum chose him as an instructor and become a PSM I as I was able to do.

Amazing
Scott is amazing! Scott keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to learn more. I went from zero knowledge about Scrum to an ample amount of knowledge on Scrum. Scott is very clear when explaining the in's & out's of Scrum. Scott ensures you understand Scrum. He is also very energetic, open, committed, and focused. Scott gives real-life scenarios to help provide a better understanding of how Scrum works. Overall the training was outstanding! Scott's training was just what I needed to gain the confidence and understanding of Scrum.

An Inspiring Coach
During the PSM certification class Scott told us that a scrum master inspires his team. With this understanding he used his techniques and well refined skill to inspire the class I took with him. I began this training without knowledge of any scrum concepts and by Scott's careful instruction I now have a full understanding of Scrum and confidence in the upcoming PSM exam. Scott was clear with instruction, always invited curiosity, he was energetic, and entertaining, and an overall joy to learn from. He gave helpful insight into real life scenarios and further understanding through examples provided from his lengthy experience and even advice of the doors that can be opened with a Scrum certification. Overall the training I've received has been phenomenal and beyond my expectations.

Going into this class was very intimidating because I had no idea what Scrum was. After 5 intense class lectures I attended in Scotts class I felt like an expert. His teaching ways are very engaging and effective. Everything about Scotts classes was simply amazing and I can’t wait to keep leveling up as a Professional Scrum Master.

Grand Scrum Master Scott
I enjoyed attending Scrum Master Scott's classes. He provided great examples for understanding what Scrum is, how to use Scrum, and easy ways to remember mechanical and professional Scrum. I love the examples of carpenters building a deck and the Agile umbrella. The Sprint as a container was a bit more confusing. The way I remember the Sprint and Sprint events was thinking of them like a boxing show. The entire show is the sprint but each individual match would be an event. Also, working on making slides was a bit confusing the first few times. However, I personally should have asked for clarification before being sent off into a group to work on the slides. I would recommend using the Kahoot somewhere in the class because that is where I learned the most along with seeing the practice exams. Overall, the class was great a bit confusing at first like all new things but after the second-day things get a lot clearer, especially if you attend the study sessions for Kahoot.

Scott, the best teacher.
Scott brought amazing energy to the class. He made the class interesting and made me want to learn scrum. It did not feel like a lecture which made it more fun/interesting to learn. What I liked most about Scott is that he wants everyone to do well and takes his own time to help others outside of class.

I enjoyed learning how to apply Scrum in the workplace and get a better understanding of how it is used to create a positive work environment. Because of this course taken with Scrum Master Scott, I am leaning towards a scrum career in the future. I especially like that Scrum is a very visible method that allows consumers, stakeholders, and the team to see the constant progress or need for improvement of their product. I find that it is a very useful agile methodology, and I'm starting to notice it every time I get an update for my phone or my apps.

Take the class!
Scott was an excellent teacher. There was a boatload of information given about Scrum, and Scott's method of teaching us each section about Scrum made it easier to follow and grasp. He has his own way of remembering certain steps which was great because he came up with it originally. I also appreciated that he gave us different examples with real life situations, props, and to emphasize a lesson. I also enjoyed the projects he gave us to work in teams related to the course and give/receive feedback. Two days of this class with Scott I learned more than I thought I could, and not to mention that he gives you support, encouragement, and motivation throughout the class while teaching us. Highly recommend to take a class with Scott!

I had the pleasure of taking a class with Scrum Master Scott. I was impressed with how much information and value he was able to fit into a two-day lesson plan. The lesson was well-structured and involved a lot of class participation, group exercises and presentation - we were actually practicing the methods and values that we were learning, first hand. Scott is an expert Scrum Master and cares deeply that every person in the class is getting value out of each lesson. I'd recommend this class to anyone who is curious about learning Scrum.
