I had the chance to attend the course “Agile estimating and planning”. I would like to thank Mitch for the priceless information he provided on this topic. Not only Mitch clarified every aspect of the estimation process, he went way beyond by answering even the more existential questions on Agile and its benefits compared to the traditional processes.

I recently attended Mitch’s Certified Scrum Master training course. The class was outstanding, and I cannot recommend it enough. It will not only prepare you for the certification test, but more importantly prepares you for the many challenges you will face while implementing and using Scrum. It’s based on real life and real world experience, is direct and easy to follow for anyone - As demonstrated by having a class that had little/no experience with scrum and some who used it daily, and all were able to have good insights and takeaways from the class.

Mitch was wonderful in attacking questions head-on, backing up his opinions of best practice with experience and asking the right questions to get the class thinking of answers instead of simply dictating them from a book. I look forward to taking a Certified Scrum Product Owner and/or Advanced Certified Scrum Master course in the future, and I’d say it’s a good bet I won’t go to another CST for it.

I was a student of Mitch’s Certified SCRUM Master (CSM) training and enjoyed it immensely! The information and concepts provided in the class have been easy to apply to my current position and have fundamentally changed how I plan and execute projects. Mitch is an engaging and entertaining speaker, and the exercises and materials he has developed are exceptionally effective at teaching the principles of SCRUM/Agile. If I had it my way, every employee at my company would have to take the class - it was THAT effective at improving business processes!

I attended the Certified Scrum Product Owner course in Lisbon a few months ago. Mitch Lacey is a very good trainer and an experienced Scrum and Agile practitioner. I strongly recommend his courses for anyone, like me, interested in agile (requirements management in particular) and believes that self management is the way forward for software development.
