The SSM class, presented by Chris was great. I like the fact that they managed to package the class up into only 2 days and you didn't have to just sit there and watch Ferris Bueller's teacher give a boring Preso. The class was very interactive and hands-on covered all the points required to thoroughly learn the info. Chris made it interesting and funny and to make sure we weren't asleep he constantly quizzed us and took the time to stop along the way to say 'You might see this on the exam'. I'm planning on taking further Scrum and SAFe classes and its a no brainer where I will be taking them. Good stuff!
Michael SwaffordChris Harrison was an excellent instructor. The course is very well outlined and easy to follow. I passed my exam on the 1st try just 2 days after the training.
