Jim is a fantastic instructor! The two-day Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Certification Course with him was challenging and rewarding. He had an incremental way of teaching the course that starts with the fundamentals of Agile and Scrum, perfect for beginners! I enjoyed the group projects of creating a product that helped us to get a feel for what it would be like in this space. He is passionate and super knowledgeable about these topics and cares about his students, ensuring that you understand the material.
