This past month I had the opportunity to become a Certified Scrum Product Owner and it was all thanks to our instructor .

The course was engaging, insightful, and I acquired a lot of useful skills.

He made the course seem less like a class and more of a discussion, where my peers and I were able to pick his brain and get the most out of the experience.

This is one more valuable skill added to my toolbox and I will be sure to use it in the future.

is awesome!

His Advanced Certified ScrumMaster course was actually a small group coaching during weekends, with the majority of time focused on real scenarios and how to deal with them, which is very suitable for CSMs who are facing real issues during daily work and seeking for advice.

Got a lot of 1:1 coaching and Q&A time too. I also found this course helpful to inspire the group to research more Agile frameworks and methodologies, such as SAFe, Kanban, etc. [Original LI post]

Nimesh is an excellent Agile trainer. Not only is he an expert at Agile Framework, but he was also able to demonstrate/transform by giving his real-life experience in ways that were engaging and were very informative.

I would highly recommend his training workshops.
