TestimonialsWe pride ourselves on creating an optimal training experience for all of our participants. Here is a selection of endorsements from our recent participants:
"Ilan is a gifted trainer and a successful advocate of Scrum. His certified ScrumMaster course was well framed and the content delivered effectively. His ability to transpose and apply the benefits of the Scrum framework to a complex development team structure, postulated his expert knowledge of Scrum."
Marshall Kim, Head of New Products and User Experience at eBay
"I completed the Scrum Master (CSM) training course run by AxisAgile in February 2013. Ilan is an excellent trainer and his superior knowledge of the subject matter was quite evident during the Q&A sessions. What really stood out for me was the level of enthusiasm from both Ilan and Colin, which is highly infectious and leaves you wanting to embrace Agile methodologies and all the benefits it can offer"
David Stone, Senior Product Manager at Optus
"I recently competed a Certified ScrumMaster course with AxisAgile, led by Ilan and Colin. Wow, what a course! Having come from outside the industry AxisAgile made Scrum easy to follow and highly relevant for my application in a broader business sense. The level of Scrum knowledge and experience was exceptional and I have already recommended their course several times over. If Scrum is on your to do list, call AxisAgile."
Nathan Archie, National Business Manager at PepsiCo
"AxisAgile were the genesis of massive change within how Appster does business. This resulted in massive increases in productivity, great client engagement and even making our stressed out developers 'very happy' (their words). In fact Ilan and Colin in their spare time even recruited our CTO without any expectations in return, the only motive: trying to over deliver in their services. Ilan is a world-class expert in his space, smart, honest and truly a thought leader in how Agile really works. We try to send everyone of our Product Owners and Scrum Masters through AxisAgile's training because they get real results."
