What students say about Todd
Jan 26, 2023
Engaging and practical. Well Done!
Todd and Ryan present this information in a way that is engaging and interactive. The frequent breakout sessions allow for additional perspectives and practical applications of the material. This is time well spent for anyone looking to adopt scrum in their organization. Well Done!

Great mix of learning tools
Great mix of short lectures, small group activities and real-world examples. Loved the use of Mural for this class. Discussions were engaging and teaches kept it fun. I would take another class with these instructors again.

Very well done class
Very well done class. I was surprised at how simple the concepts seemed. I had actually been looking for a course that integrated Scrum and Kansan since I completed a CSPO class since sometime in the summer or fall of 2021 after the Scrum Trainer co-led a Scrum and Kansan class. Although to no avail.
I happened to see the PSK course show up being led by Ryan Ripley and Todd Miller. Google brought it up on my iPhone when I loaded the Google Search Engine on my iPhone. Interestingly, it was what I was looking for. However, I had also listened to a number of their YouTube videos in early 2021. They happened to be familiar faces which gave me more comfort in signing up for a class they were providing in concert with Dan Vacante.
This was my first Scrum.org class and assessment I took. I found it to be a rather tough although I did pass. In retrospect, I think I would have studied for and acquired the PSM I first before taking this assessment. Still, the PSK assessment set the tone, and I had a better idea of what to expect going forward.

Ryan and Todd are fun to work with
Ryan and Todd are fun to work with. Having two instructors that play off of each other well, really helps with getting questions answered and keeping class flow smooth. IF you want a good picture of what their class is like check out their Youtube videos, then imagine actually being part of the conversations instead of just listening. Much of the class is also activity driven giving you a chance to hear about the lenses other people see Scrum through. My focus was about formalizing and learning the language, and it turned out their class really built up my confidence in the idea that I had already been doing the job. Ryan and Todd really gave me the terms to believe it and the refinement to improve on my skills and expand my tool box.

Engaging & challenging, but also fun!
Todd and Ryan are excellent facilitators and instructors. I enjoy the way they present the material and the small group breakout sessions allow for us to struggle, ponder, and figure out the questions we need to ask in order to take the concepts we learn back to our work environments. They are not afraid to dive into a challenging topic, but always bring some lightness and humor as well.

Great SCRUM Crash Course
Great crash course on scrum. I wish I had more time to absorb and understand the pre-work before taking the course. I enjoyed the interaction; however, some members did not participate in the group activities.

Amazing
Amazing! This by far has been the best Agile training I have ever taken. Erik was a great trainer and the content was very relevant to actual challenges companies face. Highly reccomend.
May 20, 2022
Pawel is Amazing
Pawel is Amazing! He did a great job of teaching remotely and utilizing Mural to get through a massive amount of material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their scrum certifications.
May 12, 2022
Excellent training
Ryan was one of the best, if not the best, trainer I have experienced since working here. He was very direct and succinct in his answers and gave the reason behind his answers to support. As a result, I took away a much better understanding than I may have otherwise.
Apr 27, 2022
A masterclass full of tips & tricks for agile leaders.
It was a masterclass full of real-life stories and experiences from the trenches. As a manager and experienced agilist, I learned a lot from Ryan & Todd during this highly interactive course. I strongly recommend you take the PAL-E class with Agile For Humans, you won't regret it.
Apr 26, 2022
Terrific class, eye-opening!
Terrific class! Get ready to do some critical thinking on difficult topics. We had some really eye-opening discussions!

Packed with Value
Packed with Value
This class has a ton of good information in it. Not enough organizations focus on running actual experiments. A lot of people think they do, but they don't formalize them, develop hypothesis, and then measure the results in a reasonable time. This class will help you learn why you want to do that and give you the tools to start.
Apr 21, 2022
Step up your game!
Absolutely amazing class that I've enjoyed so much. This duo rocks and kept me (and my brain) entertained for whole 2 days.
Packed with insights and knowledge sharing from others made me to take away a lot of stuff to digest.
I'd recommend this class to any Scrum Master that wants to step up their game.
Thank you Todd & Ryan!

Very educational. Coming from no Scrum knowledge and forced into a working environment called "Scrum", this really brought me up to speed and alignment with how the team functions and should function.
Fun course with these instructors!

Learn to measure what matters with the PAL-EBM course
This class with Ryan & Todd was simply amazing!
We learned a lot about the EBM framework and it's 4 KVAs. We had many opportunities to apply those concepts to our real context and industries. We even used collective intelligence (with Liberating Structures) to work each other's challenges. A great class that I would absolutely recommend to any (agile) leader. Thanks again guys!

PAL-E Training - So valuable and immediately useful

Great PSK I Course!
Todd, Dan, and Ryan’s PSK I course was a fun, engaging, and thought-provoking introduction to applying flow principles to the Scrum framework. I appreciated how they broke down the content from Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams, carefully explaining each idea while emphasizing how Scrum’s empirical tenants of inspection and adaption are enhanced by the transparency provided by flow’s metrics and mindset.

Todd & Ryan's interactive style and use of mural made the 2 days fly by. The discussions were rich and thought-provoking. Would highly recommend this for any Product Owner.

Todd and Ryan are excellent trainers. They made the class very entertaining while covering complex topics in fun and engaging ways. They encourage the students to keep in touch even after the course, which is something I look forward to doing. I have lots to learn from these two for years to come. Thank you Todd and Ryan!

Expanded My Understanding of Kanban within Scrum
As someone who's got some knowledge of both Scrum & Kanban, I figured I already had a good handle on ways to apply Kanban practices effectively within Scrum, but it turns out, there was still more to learn! I appreciated Todd & Daniel's guidance on how to think about complex flow problems & I especially appreciated the chance to look at and review Kanban boards from other participants in the class as this solidified my understanding & helped me better identify good questions to ask to encourage improvements within my own organization and teams. This class is very activity-based and interactive, so I would suggest having some real-world experience before coming in as you'll get more out of it when you have real-world challenges you're looking to solve. I am excited to go back and apply flow metrics more consistently with my teams and feel empowered to run more data-driven retrospectives and inspection activities.

Really liked the class. It provided constant hands-on activities that helped reinforce the topics. Instructors are great.
Nov 3, 2021
Exercises were tough but fun and representative of real world
The instructor was quite knowledgeable and made the class fun and interesting. It was not simply endless slides that were read to us, but was an interactive, collaborative experience. Parts of the exercises were very challenging - we had a very short amount of time to get ourselves organized and apply scrum principles to plan and execute a successful sprint. This was not easy but very much simulated the complexity and constraints that we face in the workplace every day.
Oct 22, 2021
Great class & trainers
Professional Agile Leadership Essentials is a fantastic experience for anyone that wants to understand how to improve as an agile leader. If you're looking to improve your skills and gain insights this will help you. Likely you'll be in a class with other great people to learn from as well. Todd and Ryan are fun and knowledgeable trainers who are deeply invested in helping attendees learn and succeed.
Oct 20, 2021
Experienced trainers who value my time
The instructors brought their experience and many supporting stories to emphasize the points they were making. I highly recommend attending an Agile for Humans class.

Amazing Virtual Class with interactive group and teachers
With a solid group of 15 or so participants, Todd and Ryan walk us through the importance of Goals, how Key Value Areas need to be viewed in a balance way to ensure the viability of product and an organization.
The session was well pace, with great topic of conversation. I left the training with great information and a solid tool to add to my belt.
Thank you.

Ryan and Todd are very knowledgeable about Scrum and the Scrum Master role. I really liked how they used Mural and most importantly the class can use a key takeaway notes and actionable case studies.

Not just for Developers!
This has already improved how I approach a new project. Thank you! I look forward to continuing my SRUM journey!

Learn through experience!
Excellent class that teaches through actual experience of the students involved rather than simply telling students what is "correct". Learning through experience is best!
Oct 7, 2021
Awesome class!
This was an awesome class! It's worthwhile if you are a Scrum newbie or even a veteran looking to pick up a few bits of wisdom from a Scrum expert.
It was well organized, engaging and most of all, the content was presented in an easy to understand manner.
Thanks Todd (and Agile For Humans)!

I really enjoyed the class Ryan and Todd kept it interesting by injecting activities and a quiz throughout the training. Outstanding job!
The only suggestion I have is to maybe start with a preparatory series of targeted process questions for the attendees before the class that would allow to look at some real life situations where Kanban could help.
Oct 5, 2021
Fantastic, as usual
As always, Todd and Ryan are great co-teachers. Lots of great content and engagement. Makes the class informative and a lot of fun.

This Course is More than Worth it
This course is more than worth it. If your organization needs help implementing Scrum, don't bother trying to just learn it yourself as it is very commonly misunderstood very easily to be turned into something it is not. Also, Ryan and Todd are amazing.

Good class
The class was very informative. I had a SCM from 2013 and wanted to refresh my skills. I have been in the "Scrum Master" role (I use quotes because I play multiple roles SM). I recall Scrum being much more inflexible. The recent updates empower the Scrum team. I also have more insight on enabling the PO to provide the team backlog items that are defined and actionable.
My only recommendations for improving the class are to add more case studies and spend more time on the exam. Some sample questions and explaining the answers as per Scrum.org's perspective would be very useful.
May 12, 2021
The class was great
The class was great. Both days were filled with activities that can be immediately applied to current work.
I will call out that there were some technical issues with zoom and mural at times. This is just the way it is.

Well organized and Well Instructed Class.
The Mural interactions worked well and with the breakout room discussions, it was easy to engage. Several of the breakout room segments were a little hard to understand the objective, but the teams all worked together and found the benefits of the conversations...I think we just needed a little more guidance as we were going into those breakouts sometimes.

Great content and format!
Ryan and Todd are well versed in their experience about scrum framework and they are strongly opinionated about best practices instead of giving answers with lot of gray areas.
Apr 21, 2021
Worth your time!
Very clear and concise instruction. Good examples and lively discussions!

Pawel is Amazing
Pawel is Amazing! He did a great job of teaching remotely and utilizing Mural to get through a massive amount of material. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get their scrum certifications.

Excellent training
Ryan was one of the best, if not the best, trainer I have experienced since working here. He was very direct and succinct in his answers and gave the reason behind his answers to support. As a result, I took away a much better understanding than I may have otherwise.

A masterclass full of tips & tricks for agile leaders.
It was a masterclass full of real-life stories and experiences from the trenches. As a manager and experienced agilist, I learned a lot from Ryan & Todd during this highly interactive course. I strongly recommend you take the PAL-E class with Agile For Humans, you won't regret it.

Terrific class, eye-opening!
Terrific class! Get ready to do some critical thinking on difficult topics. We had some really eye-opening discussions!

Packed with Value
Packed with Value
This class has a ton of good information in it. Not enough organizations focus on running actual experiments. A lot of people think they do, but they don't formalize them, develop hypothesis, and then measure the results in a reasonable time. This class will help you learn why you want to do that and give you the tools to start.

Step up your game!
Absolutely amazing class that I've enjoyed so much. This duo rocks and kept me (and my brain) entertained for whole 2 days.
Packed with insights and knowledge sharing from others made me to take away a lot of stuff to digest.
I'd recommend this class to any Scrum Master that wants to step up their game.
Thank you Todd & Ryan!

Very Educational
Very educational. Coming from no Scrum knowledge and forced into a working environment called "Scrum", this really brought me up to speed and alignment with how the team functions and should function.
Fun course with these instructors!

Learn to measure what matters with the PAL-EBM course
This class with Ryan & Todd was simply amazing!
We learned a lot about the EBM framework and it's 4 KVAs. We had many opportunities to apply those concepts to our real context and industries. We even used collective intelligence (with Liberating Structures) to work each other's challenges. A great class that I would absolutely recommend to any (agile) leader. Thanks again guys!

PAL-E Training - So valuable and immediately useful
The PAL-E class was awesome. This was one of the best trainings I've attended. It was perfect for where I am in my agile journey as a leader. I was able to immediately use some of my learnings. Thank you.

Great PSK I Course!
Todd, Dan, and Ryan’s PSK I course was a fun, engaging, and thought-provoking introduction to applying flow principles to the Scrum framework. I appreciated how they broke down the content from Kanban Guide for Scrum Teams, carefully explaining each idea while emphasizing how Scrum’s empirical tenants of inspection and adaption are enhanced by the transparency provided by flow’s metrics and mindset.

Todd & Ryan's interactive style and use of mural made the 2 days fly by. The discussions were rich and thought-provoking. Would highly recommend this for any Product Owner.

Todd and Ryan are excellent trainers
Todd and Ryan are excellent trainers. They made the class very entertaining while covering complex topics in fun and engaging ways. They encourage the students to keep in touch even after the course, which is something I look forward to doing. I have lots to learn from these two for years to come. Thank you Todd and Ryan!

Expanded My Understanding of Kanban within Scrum
As someone who's got some knowledge of both Scrum & Kanban, I figured I already had a good handle on ways to apply Kanban practices effectively within Scrum, but it turns out, there was still more to learn! I appreciated Todd & Daniel's guidance on how to think about complex flow problems & I especially appreciated the chance to look at and review Kanban boards from other participants in the class as this solidified my understanding & helped me better identify good questions to ask to encourage improvements within my own organization and teams. This class is very activity-based and interactive, so I would suggest having some real-world experience before coming in as you'll get more out of it when you have real-world challenges you're looking to solve. I am excited to go back and apply flow metrics more consistently with my teams and feel empowered to run more data-driven retrospectives and inspection activities.

Exercises were tough but fun and representative of real world
The instructor was quite knowledgeable and made the class fun and interesting. It was not simply endless slides that were read to us, but was an interactive, collaborative experience. Parts of the exercises were very challenging - we had a very short amount of time to get ourselves organized and apply scrum principles to plan and execute a successful sprint. This was not easy but very much simulated the complexity and constraints that we face in the workplace every day.

Great class & trainers
Professional Agile Leadership Essentials is a fantastic experience for anyone that wants to understand how to improve as an agile leader. If you're looking to improve your skills and gain insights this will help you. Likely you'll be in a class with other great people to learn from as well. Todd and Ryan are fun and knowledgeable trainers who are deeply invested in helping attendees learn and succeed.

Experienced trainers who value my time
The instructors brought their experience and many supporting stories to emphasize the points they were making. I highly recommend attending an Agile for Humans class.

Amazing Virtual Class with interactive group and teachers
With a solid group of 15 or so participants, Todd and Ryan walk us through the importance of Goals, how Key Value Areas need to be viewed in a balance way to ensure the viability of product and an organization.
The session was well pace, with great topic of conversation. I left the training with great information and a solid tool to add to my belt.
Thank you.

Ryan and Todd are very knowledgeable about Scrum and the Scrum Master role. I really liked how they used Mural and most importantly the class can use a key takeaway notes and actionable case studies.

Not just for Developers!
This has already improved how I approach a new project. Thank you! I look forward to continuing my SRUM journey!

Learn through experience!
Excellent class that teaches through actual experience of the students involved rather than simply telling students what is "correct". Learning through experience is best!
Oct 7, 2021
Awesome class!
This was an awesome class! It's worthwhile if you are a Scrum newbie or even a veteran looking to pick up a few bits of wisdom from a Scrum expert.
It was well organized, engaging and most of all, the content was presented in an easy to understand manner.
Thanks Todd (and Agile For Humans)!

I really enjoyed the class Ryan and Todd kept it interesting by injecting activities and a quiz throughout the training. Outstanding job!
The only suggestion I have is to maybe start with a preparatory series of targeted process questions for the attendees before the class that would allow to look at some real life situations where Kanban could help.
Oct 5, 2021
Fantastic, as usual
As always, Todd and Ryan are great co-teachers. Lots of great content and engagement. Makes the class informative and a lot of fun.

This Course is More than Worth it
This course is more than worth it. If your organization needs help implementing Scrum, don't bother trying to just learn it yourself as it is very commonly misunderstood very easily to be turned into something it is not. Also, Ryan and Todd are amazing.

Good class
The class was very informative. I had a SCM from 2013 and wanted to refresh my skills. I have been in the "Scrum Master" role (I use quotes because I play multiple roles SM). I recall Scrum being much more inflexible. The recent updates empower the Scrum team. I also have more insight on enabling the PO to provide the team backlog items that are defined and actionable.
My only recommendations for improving the class are to add more case studies and spend more time on the exam. Some sample questions and explaining the answers as per Scrum.org's perspective would be very useful.
May 12, 2021
The class was great
The class was great. Both days were filled with activities that can be immediately applied to current work.
I will call out that there were some technical issues with zoom and mural at times. This is just the way it is.

Well organized and Well Instructed Class.
The Mural interactions worked well and with the breakout room discussions, it was easy to engage. Several of the breakout room segments were a little hard to understand the objective, but the teams all worked together and found the benefits of the conversations...I think we just needed a little more guidance as we were going into those breakouts sometimes.

Very comprehensive and kept my interest for 3 full days Nice job!

Great content and format!
Ryan and Todd are well versed in their experience about scrum framework and they are strongly opinionated about best practices instead of giving answers with lot of gray areas.
Apr 21, 2021
Worth your time!
Very clear and concise instruction. Good examples and lively discussions!
