What People Say

Very Informative. The small size of the class allowed us to interact with one another and ask the instructor questions. I am on an Agile team, but still learned new concepts in this course.

UI/UX Designer

Honestly, there was nothing to improve on. David was the perfect mix of engaging, yet professional. The material was presented in an interactive way that invited discussion, but was informative enough to keep things moving at a good pace.

Product Owner

David is exceptional! I’ve participated in a few of his skill-building classes and gained so much insight. David is positive, relatable and makes the learning environment fun and collaborative. I highly recommend taking part in his sessions.

Product Manager

In over 25 years in business, I have taken dozens of professional development courses and seminars, including 16 courses as part of an executive MBA, and against that backdrop I would rank David among the most effective facilitators I have had.

Program Director, BMO

I would highly recommend any course taught by David. I walked away from his class feeling significantly more knowledgeable and capable as an Agile delivery professional. The skills and understanding I gained have already proven invaluable in my work.

Enterprise Agile Coach

The value added of having a Scrum trainer like David, with proven expertise in the field, is obvious in his class. There is a great combination of concepts and theory with scenarios and case studies, which makes the class interactive and fun in an environment of openness and respect.

Process Excellence Project Manager

David is an exceptional Agile expert with deep knowledge and real-world experience. He demonstrates expertise not only in Kanban but in a range of Agile approaches. His teaching was further enhanced by his strong business acumen, allowing him to provide practical, applicable insights.
