A fascinating training! I appreciated the trainer’s clarity and the immediate practice of Scrum and Kanban. I’m leaving with a real toolbox.
The mix of theory and workshops is perfect. The Scrum Master role is much clearer to me and I know how to apply Kanban in my projects. Thanks to Sara for the facilitation.
