Great instructor and material
Great instructor and material. I think some of the use cases could be changed to make some examples more relatable/understandable, but nothing major.

Itopa taught a fantastic PSM I prep course. He led my classmates and me through two intensive but somehow fun days of case studies and Scrum theory. I could actually hear his voice in my head sometimes when answering questions on the PSM I exam, which I easily passed on the first try!

Thank you, Itopa
I had a great experience in Itopa's PSM I class. He did an amazing job of challenging our scrum knowledge and also celebrating and encouraging the team as we started to demonstrate more of our learning in the activities. I left Itopa's class with confidence that I could continue studying and pass the exam, and I will definitely attend more of his courses now that I have passed PSM I.

I just completed the PSM I Workshop
I just completed the PSM I Workshop. Itopa Sulé was the instructor. He was very approachable, helpful, effective and efficient. We would always do an activity first and then he would re-enforce the learnings from the activity with reference to the course material. It was very interactive and he always asked if we had any questions as we moved along. If we had questions he would take the time to properly and patiently explain before moving forward. He also gave real life, unforgettable examples when explaining concepts. This also made it easier to grasp new terms; such as "technical debt". We reviewed a case study in the context of Scrum, where a person actually cooked a squirrel and gave it to a customer to eat! Go to his class to find out how it ended! Finally, his slides and supplementary course material is invaluable to anyone. These learnings will stay with me for life. Thanks for an excellent class!

Very Good
The training/class was very informative. I had to unlearn and relearn some things. The Trainer's use of Mural was not very good because Africa still struggles with Infrastructure and as such a lot of trainees had to join via their mobiles. This feedback was given to him and he was very receptive.
The class was very engaging and the Trainer made sure to take everyone along through the course of the classes

A most enjoyable collaborative learning experience.
Itopa was thorough in facilitating the learning for the class. He was very methodical in his approach and ensured that he carried everyone along as best leaving no stone unturned to impact knowledge, by answering questions and bringing clarity to the topic. He drew parallels and distinctions between Scrum and Waterfall - which many of us were used to; and diffused any ambiguities in our thought process of seeing Scrum as a similar Project Management methodology.
He was very patient, engaged and quick to applaud and reward good participation in the class. I particularly enjoyed his using real life scenarios and some practical working examples to clarify questions despite delivering the syllabus.
An excellent coach, trainer and new found friend I will say. Thank you Itopa.

How can the Scrum Master become that True Agile Leader, helping the organization to become more Agile?
May 23, 2022
Imagine the stress of getting to work and observing your heart rate rising. It feels as if everyone is out for blood, anything you say can be used against you no matter how genuine it may seem-and managers don't really know what's going on either; they've got favourites among their team members who make most decisions behind closed doors with just a few people involved in each one (those "in the know").
