Client Reviews

I have been with the state for over 20 years and have been to 50+ trainings, but never been as impressed as I was with Platinum Edge.

Eric L.

Mark was a wonderful presenter. He kept the class engaged, easily transferred knowledge to students and answered questions effectively.

Jacklyn R.

Steve was able to expand on many concepts through real-world examples from his own background…and even spent additional time after the end of the sessions to discuss our specific situations…

Jeff K.

Great content and framework for software development, work environment and personal building skills.

It was entertaining and engaging the whole time.

Jordan B.

I like that we applied what we were learning by actually spinning up a scrum project. I also liked that we were tested on what we were learning.

Matthew V.

Very interactive and group oriented. It allowed us to brainstorm and work as a team.

Craig P.

The instructor was very good. He was very knowledgeable about the topic. He kept the enthusiasm and tempo going so it was easy to stay focused.

Wilfred P.

It was interactive and the group activities gave a better idea of scrum implementation in real world scenarios.

Karen S.

I liked the group exercises and coming up with a business idea. The interactive, collaborative parts of the course made it engaging and made learning the materials much easier.

Stephen C.

Steve kept the energy level up which helps with a course like this.

Rick C.

I liked the openness of conversation that was allowed.

The practical exercises where a great hands-on way for people who have never seen agile before to interact physically with the process.

Robert T.

I appreciated the times our class was able to take the time to ask questions, which led to some interesting discussions.

I liked the combination of information (lecture and written materials) with interspersed hands-on exercises.

Lindsay M.

Instructor was very interactive with students.Dealing with such large groups is always challenging, but he handled it very well.

Kamran K.

[The scrum master class] reinforced the arguments for all of the changes that I have been advocating for 4 years.

John C.

The exercises really help to lock in a deeper understanding of the material. Also, the instructor explained the reasons for many items in the framework. That was extremely helpful.

Jeff C.

The pace was good, showing you CAN accomplish these steps in a short amount of time, and then revise when the RIGHT DATA is present.

Steve O.

The instructor was educated, professional and yet somehow managed to make it personal as well, even though it was a decent sized class.

Brian B.

Loved the two days and excited to share with teams out here.

Nathan B.

You did a great job on leading the class, time management and insuring the material was covered.

Jason V.

At this time, I don't have much to say other than the fact the training was fantastic - Mark did a fabulous job!!
