“Just wanted to let you know I passed my exam with a 98%! Missed a softball question, but that’s OK.

We will ponder over the weekend on the CSPO course, what we have learned, how to apply swiftly into practice our new skills, and look further to new learnings. We will add shortly the CSPO designation to our names, which is one of the most prestigious and desired designations at this time!

The teaching, the content, the interactive nature of the sessions — even the food — was wonderful! Thank you again for working with me to make this happen!” —Barbara, CSM Charlotte, March 2019
“Even though my CSM training was over 4 years ago and I’ve since moved into an operational leadership role, I still distinctly remember much of my training with Joe and apply many of the principles and lessons on a daily basis, including my team standup every morning and our planning cycles. With the training that our project/product support team will be receiving from you, we plan to scale this to our entire department to cover all aspects of our projects and operations. I’m so pleased that they are going to be engaging in the training!” —Jim, CSM Charlotte

“Very much enjoyed the class!! No, I was not day dreaming at times about standing in the suds fishing, but I was really digesting what you were saying and reflecting back on my own work place situations that they related to. I’m going to plan a restrospective as soon as I get back to review the project that we just implemented. (Lessons Learned). I also want to make sure my friend who paves the road map knows how I was blindsided in our first meeting with the business and the PO.Thanks again for an awesome class.” —Richard, CSM Charlotte, November 2018

“Thank you very much for the wonderful session we had in Toronto last week. It really helped me to sharpen my knowledge.

Looking to be in your sessions in the future.” —Ambadi, CSM Toronto, September 2018
“Great two days of training!” —Lucas, CSM, August 2018

I have taken the opportunity to complete certification, aggregate all of the course materials, and pick up a copy of your book as well. Thanks for all that. ‘Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime…’ Certainly feeling as the recipient of the latter, I’m eager to apply my new tools and understanding in daily practice.” —Jared, Montreal CSPO, February 2018
“I wanted to email you and say thanks again for the great training you provided to Craig and Jeff. With them riding the momentum of training hopefully we can move from ‘Scrum Butt’ to actual ‘Scrum.’ Also, Jeff shared the amount of empathy for everything that I have been trying to change since my original training a couple of years ago. I can tell you that you had a great influence on him in just a few days, and I’m even more excited about what the future will bring for us.” —Tony, Montreal CSPO, February 2018
“I associate it with you mostly because I found your teaching style very good (for me). The humor, and the metaphors used in 2013 stuck with me. I know some of my old colleagues who are still friends took your class at General Dynamics not long ago. They agreed with me that you were a highly effective teacher. So, Scrum is a drug, and you are the pusher, or Scrum is a virus and you are (at least our) patient zero.” —Aaron, 2018

“I’ve just discovered another potential use for Agile Release Planning and Scrum in my world: a research project that started last year, but needs to be making major headway starting in a couple of weeks. I really benefited from all of you fully participating and sharing what you know and asking your questions. Your experiences are so different than mine that I feel I got the biggest benefit of anyone. I spent a lot of effort to be able to attend the training with you; I had very high expectations of the experience. Thanks to all of you, those expectations were met and exceeded! Here’s wishing everyone the best as you implement what we all learned together.” — Kay, Montreal 2017
“Thank you very much for the knowledge workshop that we had with your guidance. I am pleased to say that I got passed in the examination. Looking forward to meet you all if either time grants the permission or during another certificate update training.” — B., Toronto 2017
“Thank you, Joe for explaining the concepts in a nice and engaging way. Though the sessions were quite long, it didn’t feel like that due to the way in which you kept us all engaged and entertained. Thanks also to all the participants who gave their own perspectives in the class and ensured we all learned from each other — like a real Scrum Team.” — Srini, Toronto 2017
“Instructor was awesome, privileged to be a student of Joe.” — Jagadesh, Charlotte 2017
“Joe is an extraordinary trainer that made the learning fun!” — Madhulita, Charlotte 2017
“If you’ve never attended one of Joe Little’s training classes, you’re missing out. This CSM training course is an action-packed 2-3 days of hands-on training in multiple mock Scrum sessions. He does a masterful job of pulling together teams and mentoring you on how to make your projects more Lean and Agile.” — Brent, Charlotte 2017
“I loved the practical Yogi references. You kept the rooms’ attention and kept the conversation enjoyable, and I’m a big Yogi fan. I highly suggest a stop at his museum on the Campus of Montclair. I also really enjoyed the hands on part of the training. What we fought through on the second day of training (PV, PB, SP) was more comfortable and logical on the third day.” — Dan, Charlotte 2017
“Great meeting you all as well! I enjoyed the class and learned a lot! Thanks Joe for your fun creative ways of teaching (and singing).” — Katherine, NYC 2017

“I’ve been highly recommending you since I took your course in Halifax 2-3 years ago. I had two from my team take the course in Halifax in January this year and they agree!” — Mike, Halifax 2016
“I cannot express how valuable this training was for me. I have already implemented five of the best practices you outlined during the class. And in only three days it has already started working. Before I was trained I would have to begrudgingly ‘drag’ the developers away from their desk for, admittedly, less than engaging grooming sessions. However on Friday, one developer asked if we could start recording grooming sessions for vacationing teammates because with the new format so much valuable information is exchanged everyone should have the opportunity to hear the discussion first hand. WOW! Who knew the process of planning is more important than the plan itself?” — Katie, Charlotte 2016
“Again thank you so much for the great training. Now, Scrum rules are clearer to me and I learned so many things. Your exercise of Agile Release Planning was awesome as well as the whole training!” — Ghania, February 2016
“Thank you Joe and Cassandra for teaching and organizing the class. It was a great experience and opened my eyes to a lot of new, interesting and effective techniques. I did the exam this morning and passed so I am now a fully certified Scrum Master. Time to change the world!” — Khizar, Montreal, February 2016
“Thank you very much Joe!” — Doug, February 2016
“Joe, I really enjoyed this course. It was intense but I never felt that it dragged. I liked the format and the content was practical. Your style is engaging. I like all the different leads on articles and books. Thanks very much.” — Andrea, January 2016
“I wanted to reach out and tell you how valuable I found your ScrumMaster course in Halifax. It sparked some ideas.” — Geoff, Halifax, January 2016
“Hi, Joe as promised attached is the evaluation form. I would just like to say — thank you for a great course. Both myself and Ted will find what we have learned from you invaluable going forward as we try to implement Scrum at our company and you have fueled the ‘fire’ in us to get things moving.” — Steve, January 2016
“You not only helped me learn more about scrum methodology and how to be a better ScrumMaster, but you also truly inspired me as well. Thanks for making a potentially boring class, which was chock-full of information, a very fun and memorable experience.” — Fred, November 2015
“Thank you Joe, appreciated all your time and good training. Completed the exam and [have] become [an] official CSM holder.” — Ravi, October 2015
“Joe, thank you so much for the knowledge, both explicit and tacit! We’ve had plenty of dynamic conversations since my return on Monday. And we actually used the User Story template today for the first time.” — Tom, September 2015
“I am now a certified ScrumMaster (CSM). Thank you for providing a very thorough and inspiring ScrumMaster course in Montreal. In those three days, I gained the knowledge and courage which will help me find that next, great career opportunity. As Yogi Berra said “The future ain’t what it used to be”. So I am now on the Agile journey which will help me to face the future.” — Tim, August 2015
“Really enjoyed the CSM training I did with you in Toronto in June.” — Jennifer, June 2015
“Thanks again for an excellent session!” — Halifax, CSM July 2015
“I need to attend the third day of training in the future, which was key.” — Tushar, CSM July 2015
“I have to say that of all the courses that I have had in the last 20 years that I found CSM to be the most useful to apply on a daily basis and that Joe’s delivery style made it possible to pack such power info into the short time frame available. It’s refreshing to go to a course so well organized and info packed but still be able to take away several items that you start introducing into your work environment for the betterment of both your project and your team.” — Marlene, 2014
“I can’t say enough how pleased the whole team was with the presentation!” — CSM In-House Course, Dennis, April 2015

“Thanks a lot Joe for the copy of your book and the great training sessions. It was a great, interesting, fun course.” — Ashkan, May 2015
“I highly recommend Joe Little and LeanAgileTraining. I attended the two-day ScrumMaster class followed by the one-day Agile Release planning workshop. Joe was very personable and knowledgeable, demonstrating best Agile practices as a recovering Waterfall-holic. I enjoyed his frequent application of Yogi Berra quotes as well as the Penny game and Planning Poker to bring the Scrum lessons to life. The takeaways were numerous and my career feels fresh because of it. The course was of great value and I’m already looking forward to my next workshop opportunity to grow in Agile training with Joe! Thanks again.” — David, Charleston January 2015

“Thank you for the free copy [of the slide deck] and thanks again for an engaging, entertaining session.” — Mike, August 2014
On the Scaling Workshop in Montreal, on a scale of 0-10, would you recommend to a friend: “10/10 assuming the participant already has experience with Scrum and has already faced the challenges associated with scaling.” — Marc, August 2014

“Just a quick note of thanks for sharing your knowledge during last month’s CSM course in Charlotte, NC. I really enjoyed the course and your delivery/style of presenting the material. I have incorporated some of your recommendations on how to move teams to an Agile way of thinking and so far, so good!” — Kathryn, April 2014

“The final day [Agile Release Planning workshop] was most valuable, pulling together everything learned the previous two days.” — Victoria November 2013
“Thanks so much for the class. It has already helped me to explain the benefit of the 80-20 rule to some of my Business Stakeholders. It was very convincing!!” — Deb, October 2013
“Great training program. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to extend their skill set using the agile and scrum framework. Joe brings a blend of business and technical mechanics that allows you to be successful with integrating the scrum framework into your environment.” — Jeff, October 2013
“I’m currently on a job search. Also note that today I got a second interview for a product manager position here in Toronto. And I can honestly tell you that about 20% to 30% of my conversation this morning was about SCRUM!” — Attendee, CSM, October 2013
“I and 13 others from my group attended last July and it was a career changing event for me. With the knowledge and confidence we gained in that course, we were able to transform how our division of [major] Bank managed projects. It is quite amazing to see how effective Scrum is when you do it right. Jeff and Joe will teach you not only the day to day business processes and techniques you need to know, they also instill the spirit of Scrum, which to me was almost more important than the techniques. I left that course wondering why anyone would manage a project any other way – it just makes so much sense. If you attend, I’m sure you will hear Jeff say ‘to manage a project any other way is just illogical.’ That quote will stick with you. Enjoy the course — it’s well worth the money.” — Roy, CSM, Charleston, SC
“It was a pleasure to be a part of the CSM course and workshop last week in Halifax. You are a great trainer!” — Stefan, March 2013
“I definitely got a ton of value from the course this week!” — Howard, Charleston, March 2013
“I liked several things about your style:
- Getting to know the group.
- Keeping it lighthearted, fun, and informative.
- Keeping everyone involved.
- I get embarrassed easily — because I don’t know it all —but you have a great way of bailing people out of tough spots!
- I didn’t recognize anyone taking any comments personally, and I look for that. Humor shouldn’t have to be harmful to be be witty or funny.
- I’m glad you didn’t take offense to my challenges. I try to be thoughtful and one of my goals was to try to apply the content to real world scenarios. I know it’s hard to do in a two-day course.
- I gained so much more in your course than I ever would reading a book — especially ones focused on convincing me that the Kool-aid was delicious and good for me! I’m a bit more skeptical (realistic) than that!
Great job! I hope we’ll get to learn from you more in the future!” — Mark, Charlotte, February 2013
“Joe’s enthusiam and real world experience helped to bring the method to life.” — Ben, Charlotte, January 2013
“I enjoyed the hands-on activities to really learn the processes. It was very informative, and Joe was able to thoroughly answer and explain questions.” — Kristine, Montreal, November 2012

“I was blown away by what I learned in the course, in addition to the reading materials prior to the course. I have no doubt that, once management embraces Scrum, we will become a much more efficient development department.” — Matt, New York, January 2012
“Joe did a great job of taking complicated subjects and being patient to help us understand them. His training was intellectually stimulating and still FUN! You SOLD me!” — Brent, Knoxville, June 2011
“The class was great. I thought I knew so much from the book but you added a ton more. I am ready to apply the knowledge and get started with Scrum.” — Shanda, Knoxville, June 2011

“Two-day workshop at the end was the most valuable time. I got a real sense of how to work in a SCRUM project.” — Jason, Ottawa, January 2011
“It’s funny how true the statement, ‘The biggest impediment is to accept Agile,’ is. I stole some of the charts from the presentation, and my cube is all Agile now.” — Imran, Dec 2010

“The hands-on exercises illustrated key ideas very well. Joe was an engaging instructor and responded well to questions.” — Douglas, Rochester, Mar 2009
“Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the class. The whole time I was thinking to myself how much better life would have been had I used Scrum on my projects. Well, now, … I’ll know better. The interesting thing I found: some of what was taught will be possible to put into practice in my real estate development company [too].” — Ross, Oct 2008
“The hands-on activities were a little uncomfortable at first, but became the best learning tool of the class. The instructors were passionate and it shows. Building the Scrum backlog was very insightful.” — Debbie, May 2008
