Agile is a new concepts and idea for the staff of NWK and interesting to learn about.

Willem Odendaal, NWK. LTD

Comfi had great experience in the subject and was able to answer any questions asked.

Stefan Van den Berg - Willem Odendaal, NWK. LTD

Confi had a lot of knowledge regarding his subject and that was a breath of fresh air. I was good to listen to someone who actually believes in his own project, well done.

The framework we received - now we can adjust it for NWK

Isabella Verryne - Willem Odendaal, NWK. LTD

Interactive, but not too much. Easy to follow and good despite being remotely accessed.

KnowledgePool

The trainer had tailored the focus to best suit the needs of the audience and continually analysed the delegate comments / questions adding in extra content to make the training as effective as it could be. From this there quickly developed a strong rapport between trainer and delegates which created a very engaging atmosphere (no easy feat considering the training was remote!) and willing participation in the interactive elements. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt a huge amount.

Benjamin Jenkins - KnowledgePool

I liked the hands-on approach, multiple tools presented in action + comments from each team. The fact that we worked on own ideas for products.

The trainer.

Michał Warkocz - Spartez Sp. z o.o. sp. k.

EDQM - Council of Europe - Conseil de l'Europe

The focus on testing and agile was exactly what we needed, and the opportunity to learn the same things at the same time with the whole team.

Theory, great knowledge of the trainer, quizzes

Steph white - Martyna Gladysz, Capita

Masterful use of MS Paint!

Martyna Gladysz, Capita Business Services Ltd.

I got a very real sense about how the Scrum process is a set of interlocking practices, illustrating how it was important to adopt all of the process to gain benefits. In the past, projects I have been on have claimed to be agile, yet neglected some of the 'musts' of scrum. Its very easy to attribute some of their failures those adaptions - in particular the central importance of the product owner role.

Steve Harris - Martyna Gladysz, Capita Business Services Ltd.

Philippe's teaching style - easy to follow!

Kate Palmer-Lilley - Martyna Gladysz, Capita Business Services Ltd.

The trainer Phillipe was really knowledgeable and could give real life examples of how Agile was implemented in practice, as well as demonstrating its value to the organisations using it. His presentation style made the content of the course interesting, and he was happy to help us relate it to our circumstances. The course itself was a very good overview of the key principles of Agile, and gives the team a good grounding to enable us to identify preparatory actions in order to start using Scrum methodology.

Cath Chilcott - Martyna Gladysz, Capita Business Services Ltd.

Imaginative use of MS Paint as a training aid

Martyna Gladysz, Capita Business Services Ltd.

Real life examples. Solving, or at least trying to solve (with very limited background knowledge), our own problems we encountered practicing SCRUM. Great communication skills. Extensive trainer's knowledge. Very cool approach.

GE Medical Systems Polska Sp. Z O.O.

Patryk Jakubczak

Craig worked hard to cater to the diverse training objectives of the attendees I liked that Craig developed the framework, drawing directly on the canvas. It was not as easy as in a live class but I'd suggest he keep that. Maybe supplement with a here is one I drew earlier so that the image is clear and unambiguous.
