Both insightful and fun!
I've taken the PSM II training class of Jay's two weeks ago. Jay's extensive experience, knowledge and energy made the class both insightful and fun! Needless to say, I've passed the PSM II test on the first try. Very recommended!

Practical and Fun
Jay Raham's PSM II virtual class via Scrum.Org was an enjoyable, informative, collaborative class that covered the areas of knowledge required for the PSMII exam with a mixture of real world stories and frequent exercises in breakout groups. Jay used empiricism to ensure that we were getting the most from the course with retrospectives to inspect at the each day, which he used to adapt subsequently. After studying hard using Jay's course notes, my own further reading and the further studying suggested by Jay, I'm pleased to say I passed so am now a certified PSM II Scrum Master. Thank you Jay, great course and the perfect result.

Training was a breath of fresh air
Training was a breath of fresh air. Mural and all tools were very easy to use and the material was very clear and well understood. The no PPT approach was also something innovative and helpful.
A big big thank you to Jay, our class instructor who made us all feel like a team and worked so strongly towards ensuring everyone was engaged and learning. His passion for Srcum is really contagious and was what we needed to start understanding and using the principles. I got so much knowledge in two days which was beyond my expectations. So a big cudos and thanks!

Well delivered Interactive and Informative course
Jay (@ Fractal Systems) was our trainer for the PSPO course. I found the course to be very informative, interactive (the course was run online) and was able to take away a lot of 'practical exercises and tools' to use from day 1. The course used a mix of media - and NO PowerPoint. Jay's passion comes through in the way he teaches the course, and as he continues to work in the industry, he is able to provide real life context to theory which definitely helps with the learning. I would happily go back to Jay to continue my learning.

Very good and engaging class. Lots of relevant discussions and complete openness by Jay.
The class was online only but I feel it didn't impact negatively on learning outcomes. We used ZOOM and MIRO as platforms.

When I mention to people that Jay also offered me assistance as a mentor, those that have worked with him say things like "he was awesome to work with". I always wholeheartedly agree with them.”

“Jay is an exceptional Agile coach and trainer of the highest calibre. I had the pleasure of being instructed by him for a Product Ownership course and he exudes passion in everything he does. His training sessions were highly focused, interactive and collaborative. Jay took the time to make sure we actually learned the theory and challenged us to apply it in our project. Far removed from the usual training methods of rushing through textbooks to pass an exam!”

One continuing problem we see with many of today’s business leaders is that they rarely adopt Agile at the leadership level. It’s not that they are resistant to the idea of creating an Agile organisation. Most understand the value of agility at the level of the project/delivery teams, but all too often they don’t see how it applies to them or feel that they are exempt.
