I really enjoyed this course! The instructor was very effective in presenting key concepts of agile fundamentals and the various frameworks, including case studies. The supporting materials were incredibly relevant and will continue to serve as an excellent reference for me! Nicely done!

I think there was a bit too much information crammed into one presentation. It was a little overwhelming. Perhaps break it into more training sessions with focus and elaboration on individual agile frameworks instead of all at one shot.
