We had a group which allowed AllSys Trainer to spend a bit more time on the individual’s needs. It was conducted very well and I personally found both the theory and practical elements very useful in my current job. I am certain that key takeaways will be revisited time and time again throughout my career.
I like the speaker for sharing lots of real life examples thru his experience on how software development project is run and how agile, lean, scrum is applied in real life.
AllSys Trainer is a very good trainer in the field(ACP). He has a very good knowledge about the subject and is very good in giving real time examples to make people (students) understand the concepts. He has indepth knowledge on whatever he speaks and he would make a very good Agile trainer and coach. If you are looking for Agile Trainer or a an Agile Coach, I strongly recommend him.
I must say that he comes across as a exceptionally talented trainer who knows the finer aspects of Project and Program Management. He is an expert in his domain and can communicate in a clear and succint manner.
