I felt my time well spent for the last 2 days!
Naveen was a very engaging facilitator and covered a range of topics which appealed to everyone. It was an extremely informative, enjoyable and above all valuable session.
I think everyone is going to take away some good action plans and personally for me, I look forward to putting some of the techniques I've learned today into practice.

Scrum training - Retrospective
before the class, i read twice the Scrum Guide to understand what is Scrum. I thought I am fully ready for the framework.
After the class, with the clear explanation from Naveen and the activities during the class, I found that solely reading the Scrum Guide is insufficient.
Now, I am able to relate scrum with my work, team and projects. I am able to tell clearly what & how scrum helps the company.
Lastly, well done Naveen, appreciate your guidance.

Superb Coaching.
Naveen is a great Trainer and well-known in his field of teaching. The way of openness in his thinking and clear coaching pathway had shown me various things that related to the Scrum knowledge itself. Frankly speaking, he is one of the best Trainer that I've ever met in my entire life.

Excellent
Excellent, thought provoking. Loved it.
Only one feedback for improvement. There were too many group activities and the nature of the activities were also similar.
Number of activities aren't a problem, infact we enjoy those but it becomes monotonous when you have to do the same thing in every activity. We just had to discuss something in the group , write it down and paste it. It would be great if the same thing can also be done through some different modes or different type of activities likes games/AV/role-plays etc.

Informative and worth it!
The trainer shared a lot of his personal (and valuable) experience as Scrum Master and a little on Product Owner as well, which helps to widen our perspective on the challenges and issues faced by Scrum Masters. Besides that, the trainer welcomes questions, which is great because many of the workshop participants face some Scrum / Agile challenges in their work life. The trainer is able to relate the Scrum theory learned to guide the workshop participants on how to approach and deal with their issues.

How much have you scored this year? My parents asked this question twice a year throughout my schooling. I was well prepared to ask the same questions to my son, but school cheated me. Have you had a similar past? If yes, then you will understand why I call it a generation gap issue.
