Great course made so by the people
Jim! The teacher was an expert, I've had to give trainings in the past and can appreciate how difficult it is to keep someone's attention for 3 hours in one day. He manages to keep it for 5 hours a day over 3 days. Dry and witty sense of humor gave some levity throughout, learned a lot through this interactive course.

James (Jim) was a great teacher
James (Jim) was a great teacher. He was funny, clear, knowledgeable and very patient so I felt comfortable to interrupt and ask questions which is sometimes hard with virtual teams. He helped make a bond through all the participants also which feels like and added bonus. I look forward to hopefully seeing him in the next level training or if I can get him to support in our Internal team trainings

Also, your questions are not left unanswered.
I believe it's a very good approach to learn about Scrum fundamentals.
