Practical and prepares you for the PSM certification
The workshop training is based on practical and realistic experiences in work and personal circumstances that will help you remember why and what we have learned about the Agile Scrum framework and how to be an effective Scrum Master. Simran is an outstanding facilitator, coach and mentor. She does not spoon-feed rather she lets you walk through to learn and realize to yourself about your questions or clarifications. It's very helpful that you arrive to your own conclusion so it sticks to your brain and you own the idea or solution. I am looking forward to use these learnings in the actual work I'm doing and hopefully pass the Scrum Master certification as a validation of my learnings.
