I attended the Professional Scrum Master course, going in with a healthy dose of skepticism and wariness: lots of these courses are nothing more than glorified repetitions of pre-existing written content with no added value, while others are self-referential monologues on why they are the ones hosting the course and you should just be grateful to basking in their enlightening presence. I am stoked to report that this course fell in a rare third category, the one where courses are practical, add tangible value, and are run passionately by people (Jacob) who have extensive knowledge, and experience.

Jacob set the tone for an engaging 2 day course where we actually did the work, beyond just learning the fundamentals (which anyone can read from the Scrum.org website) and taught us something even more valuable: how to use this method to navigate uncertainty and be comfortable with being adaptive to change. Which is what agile is all about, right?

Clear, Concise, Patient. Jacob is an amazing Scrum Coach.

That was an absolute masterclass by Jacob. I appreciated his ability to provide content in a highly digestible format. I will forever remember his ability to keep the group engaged with his stories. I have attended multiple facilitator training courses and have personally facilitated many courses, but that was the best facilitation I have witnessed.

Jacob is an excellent and knowledgeable Agile coach. Highly recommended. We learnt a lot and had fun.

Really inspiring facilitator, gave lots of examples which was really helpful for how we can put agile into practice. Receptive to questions also. Fantastic training overall

Thank you Jacob for being such an awesome facilitator and mentor, you made me feel safe and was so easy to listen too. Ngā mihi nui.
