Excellent class
Mr. Sammons was very knowledgeable and the class was enjoyable. I was glad to see a mix of roles in the class. Mr. Sammons made the class enjoyable and taught with real world examples.
Thank you for the opportunity to take the PAL-e class.
Sincerely,
Rob

The PSF is an excellent class. Really engaging and self-explanatory compared to other process-based classes I've attended.

Jim's class was outstanding
Jim's class was outstanding. So much great information in the class, and Jim did an amazing job explaining it. My whole team was in the class and he was very responsive to all the specific questions we had on scrum and how we should be using it for our team. There was not one part of the class that I felt was not useful. The hands on activities were great and kept us all engage. I feel that we are now prepared to take this back and make the improvements and changes that we need for our team and talk to our organization about what we have learned. Couldn't ask for a more productive 2 days! I now can't wait to take the Product Owner class and learn more.

Really Great Class
Jim was a fantastic teacher. I cannot stress enough how much I learned and how much it brought all my pieces of scrum knowledge together.

Jim's Bio
My passion is helping people do work that matters with intention, happiness and impact. Throughout my career I have worked with clients of all sizes, industries and technologies and the common focus I bring to each role is “making people better.” I strive to help those around me improve through mentorship, training, workshops or just grabbing a coffee and lending an ear to their experiences. This focus on continued improvement and servant leadership is why I love what I do each day.
As a Professional Scrum Trainer at Scrum.org I bring my passion for agility to each of my training classes, workshops and conferences in support of the Scrum community at large.
In my spare time I enjoy making things out of wood, metal and other materials (like coffee). I enjoy reading, spending time with my family and taking care of the animals who call my property home.

Jim Sammons
A common phrase that I use in my classes is that Scrum is like the poker game Texas Hold’em; it only takes a few minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. The “few minutes” may be a bit of a stretch but my students get the point.
