Meet Our Training Experts

Our trainers build fun and engaging classroom experiences that demonstrate frameworks like Scrum and Kanban as fundamentally workable approaches for building and supporting great products, backed up by a wealth of hands-on experience using them in the real world. Even among the small community of Certified Scrum Trainers (a pool of less of 300 people in the world licensed to teach Scrum courses), our CSTs are widely recognized as two of the most effective Agile instructors in the field, as shown by our fiercely loyal customer base that return again and again.
