Attended remote training session. Instructor Jim Schiel was knowledgeable and made the subject timely and interesting. I will be attending future events.

Jim was my instructor through this course. He was outstanding and everything he taught was compared to real life examples. This Company and their Instructors are worth the price of learning.

Artisan Agility provided excellent training. The content was great and he provided real life scenarios that help align how SCRUM can help move concept to realization

Informative, Engaging and Fun. I've done a lot of shorter lectures from other places that were unbearable, but Jim kept us engaged for 2 days. I think a big key was that its very much an active Socratic session where we were given the space to chime in, ask questions, voice an opinion. Possibly most impressive was that we actually did interact, which is a first for me, getting the class to take you up on that "ask questions" is not a simple thing.If more professors were like Jim college would be a lot shorter.

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.

Jim was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Pacing of the class time was great. Content was applicable at work. Would definitely take another class with Artisan in the future.

Jim is great. He’ll help you apply Agile to your specific organizational needs until your questions are answered. He strips down the clutter to apply concepts minimally without getting hung up on tooling/terms that can distract and overwhelm people. Excellent experience.

Hello Jim, The CSPO training was very informative and valuable to me. With real life examples and interactions with the group the course was easy to follow. I definitely recommend the rest of my team to join you.Thank you

Our Instructor Jim was really phenomenal! I really learned a lot from him. He had super useful and relevant examples that drove home the subject matter in a way that I have not experienced in an instructor lead, distance learning format. I will definitely take another class from Artisan Agility again.

Found the class very useful, especially the second day. Jim was great at answering questions specific to the content and trying to giving advice on how to implement certain concepts within our unique organization.

My department recently finished Scrum Master training with Jim Schiel. Jim was extremely knowledgeable and patient with our group. The training process was very organized and walked us through the material with great slides, examples and discussion. I came out of the training with a very good understanding of what is involved in facilitating/being part of scrums. We can't wait to start implementing these principles. Thank you Jim!

Jim is a fantastic instructor, one of the very best i've had for sure (took his Scrum Product owner and Scrum master classes, 16h each). His broad and deep experience and expertise certainly contribute to his eloquence, and his personal touch help connect instantly, which is especially relevant in a remote/online training. The pace, content and depth of the training may appear slow and basic at first but dont worry, it will quickly reach highs in a very engaging manner. Bottom line: I'm now applying concepts learned at work for the better good, and would love to take the learning to the next level and dig into the advanced Scrum master training. Thank you again Jim, please keep it up!

I would highly recommend this course to others. The knowledge received is useful to a wide range of people. It is basic enough that it can be understood by someone new to scrum and the basics can be reinforced and new ideas learned by people who have worked in scrum for a long time. I will definitely take some of the ideas that I learned and apply them to my daily work.

Jim is an attentive teacher and his years of experience in the industry mixed with his years of experience teaching made a perfect mix for a great Agile and Scrum trainer. He could answer every question in depth, and even give real-world examples from his own career to shed more light on pretty much every scenario. Would highly recommend!

The CSM course was excellent! Jim is such an awesome instructor and really prepared me for the exam. Following the course, I passed the exam a few hours after the final class ended. The course material is simple, to the point, and taught in an easy to understand manner. I highly recommend someone interested in becoming a Scrum Master to consider this course.

I completely enjoyed the CSM class with Jim Schiel. Even with it being on zoom he was able to keep us engaged. His guarantee to pass was an amazing draw, however you probably won’t need it he teaches it so well we all passed the 1st try!
