“Last December I attended Michael's Training course with a group of colleagues of EFI, which was an great experience. Up front I was a bit skeptical about a full weeks training about Scrum, because I already did the online training and read a lot about it... it isn't that difficult or is it? Well, Scrum is harder than expected and during the week Michael confronted us with that by numerous fun exercises as time flew by. Various organization impediments and business improvements surfaced which we were not aware off, this is a result of how Michael works as a trainer. I can recommend this training to everybody in software development, especially if you experience external factors in your organization or customer base that prevent you from doing Scrum properly with your team. Thank you for a excellent training, Michael!”
