Course Testimonials Voice of Our Clients
- Scrum is often described as 'easy to understand but difficult to master.' The best part of this training is that it provides a wide range of knowledge that is useful for Scrum Masters to make it easier for teams and Product Owners to practice. You can learn the meaning and purpose of various concepts and rules through workshops and dialogue. To ensure that Scrum Masters themselves understand deeply, the room was filled with workshop content and worksheets. The process of deriving solutions while discussing with other participants at the table and as a whole group was truly enjoyable and meaningful. All the main materials used in the workshops were in Japanese, and there was Japanese interpretation during explanations, so there was no difficulty in understanding despite having an English-speaking instructor.
- The instructor presented the Scrum mindset and procedures as guidelines and watched over how our team operated. They taught us in a very cheerful and humorous way, making the training very enjoyable. Thank you very much.
