Praise from our students

"As part of SAFe Scrum Master, we built a roadmap for making our teams more effective. Since I was interviewing for a new role, I framed the exercise in terms of my team in my next job. Here is the crazy thing: during the interview process, in preparation for an in-person interview, I sent this list (from the course) to my interviewer. Can you believe it? They canceled the interview and offered me the job!"
Debbie McNeill , Sr. Scrum Master at Spatial Front

"Like I was just telling my mom: this has been an amazing class. The coaching, the expertise, the examples: it’s well worth it."
Robert Davis, Scrum Master at Optum

Jeff Nixon, Business Agility Coach & Founder at PinnacleTek

Our team

César Idrovo

César's natural fluency in software and finance domains made him popular with both of those tribes at the start of his career. A bunch of degrees probably helped a bit, too. A couple of decades later, he now helps leaders improve the flow of business value end-to-end & innovate, and not just in their software engineering teams.
