The Instructor was very knowledgeable and incorporated very useful and engaging activities to help learn the Scrum framework. "Excellent Training" -Ms. Yvette G.

This workshop will help you learn the fundamentals of Scrum practices. This training is appropriate for anyone who is interested in learning about Scrum - for your team including the Developers, Testers, Business Analysts, and Management (Project Managers and other Management members) and especially for people who are going to be playing the role of ScrumMaster. On completion of the course and a successful completion of a post-course online evaluation at Scrum Alliance, you will be registered as Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) with a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance.

No death by PowerPoint in this class!

This is not your typical training where the instructor tells you everything from the podium using a power point presentation. This is an experiential learning workshop where your will experience what you are learning thru carefully designed activities, well-facilitated discussions, some lecture. During this class, you will not only learn from the facilitator, you will also learn from discussing with your peers, co-creating learning materials, teaching your peer group. Join us to participate, practice and learn Scrum.

[Manoj is a] very engaging trainer and used tools outside of a technology to help us learn and interact with one another. I have been practicing agile within my organization for some time now, but Manoj helped educate me further on the various frameworks within agile that I was more unfamiliar with. - Ms. Mallory M.

Come prepared to participate in exercises and discussions. Come prepared to be challenged. Attendees will go back with knowledge and skills that you can start using with your teams and organizations on the next day. Come with a beginners mind: In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities, in the expert’s mind there are few. This training will help you see new possibilities and learn techniques to come up with your own solutions for your challenges.

 What are they saying about Manoj's training?

The way the [CSM] workshop was held was very interactive and kept everyone involved. - Mr. Abhijeet B.

Over the course of 30 years I have attended many classes taught by instructors of varying expertise. Manoj is one of the finest instructors I have encountered, his teaching style is engaging and his understanding of the subject is excellent. He keeps the class involved and we in turn learn. His examples are relevant and serve to drive home the specific topic he is teaching.  - Mr. Jim F.

Manoj was the Scrum/Agile Framework and Principles instructor for a class I took under him in May 2011. I found him and his class most instructive... we covered a lot of territory; he was very hands on, thorough, knowledgeable and followed up afterwards above and beyond what was expected. I highly recommend Manoj. - Mr. Matt K.

Manoj is an outstanding trainer. His unique and engaging approach to delivering Scrum training was refreshing. The concepts were presented in a logical and meaningful way and reinforced with brief, fun, and helpful exercises. Unlike most classes, I stayed engaged throughout and left with a comfortable, working understanding of Scrum and ready to take the test.  - Ms. Cynthia C.

Manoj is an excellent and interactive teacher. Throughout the Certified Scrum Master training he came up with highly engaging exercises to maximize student learning, and afterward I was able to confidently pass the CSM test. - Mr. Alexander G.

I had the pleasure, along with my team, of being trained in Scrum by Manoj. We not only learned, but to a person, enjoyed the way Manoj taught the material in an interactive way that had us all involved. There is no doubt Manoj knows the material thoroughly and has a style which spreads his enthusiasm to his students. If you ever have the chance - work with him!  Mr. Tony U.
