[Craig Wenzlick]

1. Craig Wenzlick
2. Denver, Colorado, USA
3. I am seeking to increase my knowledge of Scrum. I have SAFe Scrum experience, and a lot of my peers have this certification. I’m hoping to learn more about Agile at a non-scaled level, to get some more creative ideas with virtual meetings and activities, and to basically be better at being a Scrum Master in this new virtual environment.
4. I am most excited about learning from those more experienced than me, and to realize I’m not the only one experiencing the same highs and lows in this virtual world.
5. Peers recommended this course, and I have previously attended a class hosted by Agile For All.

[Peter Saddington]

4. Hopefully, companies get on the same page and not do this process all completing different ways!

5. I heard through peers, and googled which org recognizes this certification as a top certification.

Hi All,
I’m Denise Albini.

Located near Dallas, Texas.

After being certified as a SAFe Scrum Master a few years ago, then never using SAFe-specific practices in my previous org, I’ve been wanting to go through another certification course to continue to hone my current skills and grow some new skills. Thanks for the opportunity!

I’m really looking forward to working with everyone in this next CSM class.

I am super excited to be an active part of the Agile For All group so that I can listen, learn, contribute, and surround myself with a practicing group of agilists.

Thanks to Addepar and Yimin Yao for introducing me to The Man, The Reality, The Legend – Agile Bob! Yay 🙂
