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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent session on "Applying Professional Scrum model" - learnt all insights about SCRUM, before attending this training i heard lot of scrum artifacts/terminologies but after this training got to understand clearly about each of those terminologies what are those and what they meant.

Take SCRUM classes from scrum.org!
Having taken another Scrum Master course at another institution I can only say that the classes offered as scrum.org classes are far superior. Ryan and Todd keep the class moving with plenty of exercises to provide a true hands-on experience with the lessons. Highly recommend.

I've recently been involved with several Scrum Teams that are struggling to have the right level of detail in their Product Backlog items. Some symptoms: difficulty during Sprint Planning sessions, a massive or very small Product Backlog, or a lack of understanding during a Sprint. All of the teams I spoke with had refinement activities in place.
