What Our Students Are Saying
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. I highly recommend Jim for all your certification, training, and consulting needs!
The trainer Jim is very knowledgable. He was able to answer all out questions and kept us engaged in the 2 day training.

I just took the Certified Scrum Product Owner course virtually and it was super organized and informative. I'm able to take what I've learned and apply it to my daily responsibilities for better success of my project, team members, and customers.
