Career Path
One of the best courses I've attended. It helped me understand better the concepts have read and even lived through the lens of the Scrum framework.
Dave's course is clearly the gold standard for Agile training. I will be back for more. I've taken several other product owner courses and training in this subject, and although they were helpful, the methods and execution of this course raised the bar in a major way.
A-CSM with Dave is a beautiful opportunity to bring your scrum knowledge to another level. With a group of other experienced scrum masters, you have the opportunity to talk about the wicked topics that you always wanted to get insights/answers on that are real-world related.
