Agile For AllReviews of agileforall.com

I really enjoy this type of training and believe this is time very well spent. I like Richard and Peter a lot. They really have perfected their trade and used technology in a way that made this socially distanced training highly engaging. I’ve struggled to wrap my mind around Agile but felt the history they provided and the various sources that have created what Agile looks like today was very beneficial to establish a foundation for me. It gave me many ideas of small tweaks and changes I can personally make. I enjoy pushing my mind in this way. I did however feel the portions covered late on the last day became rushed. I personally struggled to wrap my mind around developing a hypothesis and the tests to go along with it. I believe the subjects were so broad and the time so short I had difficulty slicing the topic down into manageable hypotheses within my own mind. I did not like how the training ended with us going off in groups (if we so choose) to apply Agile. Someone in the chat used the word dangerous and that is how I feel right now. I know enough to support a team who knows Agile but not enough to be on a team practicing Agile. I would have liked us to end this as these five case studies for now are examples and not something we should try to do in real life just yet. I feel we should have spent the last 20 minutes talking about where we go from here. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed your training and look forward to continuing! Corey

I recently completed the Certified Scrum Product Owner training course taught by Richard and Peter. There was a lot of excellent practical knowledge and tools introduced throughout the two days. As someone that is also adapting to providing virtual collaboration tools for clients, I think the instructors did a great job in utilizing tools like Miro and Zoom breakout rooms to keep things engaging, and provide activities to work on with other participants. My only wish is that we had more time to cover more of the workbook in depth, but for the purpose of the CSPO, I feel like I learned a lot, and will be looking into advanced certifications in the future.

Peter and Bob are the best. I want them on my team!

I did not want to do a virtual classroom but was forced because of quarantine. The class had 17 people in it and I thought I'd get lost. I was mistaken. I felt included and empowered throughout the whole experience. Great curriculum, great instructors. Not only do I feel qualified to meet the responsibilities of a Product Owner, i also have the tools to continue to educate myself.

Clear and to the point. The interactive exercises were engaging throughout the two day online class. The facilitators exhibited a great depth of knowledge, and skill in both scrum and product ownership. I learned so many skills that can be incorporated in by current job.

I thought the course provided good insight in the mindset and behaviors for leaders to support an agile transformation. I thought the virtual workshop worked well, however the attempt to tie concrete action items was a little awkward. We spent 2 full days at a very high level, then hyper zoomed to a tactical level to develop concrete action items.

This program was well designed! I enjoyed the training.

Overall, my experience with Agile For All was motivating. Richard and Peter were clearly knowledgeable about every topic on hand and managed to keep it engaging the entire time. My only qualm would be the length of time for some of the exercises needs to be reviewed. The motivator behind it being that there's only time to really act and not overthink is great, but at times the breakout groups spent half the allotted time trying to figure out what we were supposed to even do and we weren't able to have good discussion on the topic at hand.
