The training offered by Grow-Lean for the Certified Scrum Professional - ScrumMaster was a master class on advanced scrum methodologies and theory. The material compiled and presented by Arlen Bankston was high quality and it was clear that we were in great and experienced hand for the subject matter. I highly recommend this course for all who have chosen Scrum mastery as their career choice.

Great class. Instructor did a great job of keeping us engaged and getting the information out in an entertaining way and it made for an easy time on the certification exam.

Don was one of the best instructors I've ever had the pleasure of learning from.

Donald Was an amazing instructor! He keeps you engaged the whole time! He even stayed after the second day to answer the questions I had for him. The interactive portion of the class helped a lot to retain and remember the material. Highly recommend taking any of the courses he offers!

Great Instructor For a very long 16 hours over 2 days, his expertise, energy, and well-crafted interactive material made the class informative as well as entertaining.

David Bulkin is an amazing instructor! I have taken several certification classes, and David is by far the best and my most favorite instructor ever. David is highly knowledgeable and extremely personable. He easily kept the entire class engaged the entire 16-hour session by making everyone feel included. David also made the material easily digestible by presenting a fantastic breakdown of the information along with relevant real-life examples and experiences. I was not initially excited about taking this class since it was a weekend session. Also, the class happened to fall on the same week that I moved into my new home. However, the time flew by extremely fast. During the time I was in attendance for David's class, I did not think about the many boxes that were sitting around my new home waiting to be unpacked. That says a lot about David and his teaching style. I never actually saw David take a break during the class sessions. The students recognized David as an expert in his field and used their breaks to seek advice or gain more golden nuggets of wisdom from him. David is also a very positive person with great energy, which makes him extremely approachable. If possible, I will definitely take more of David's classes.

Alec was an incredible instructor. He took his time to get everyone engaged and up to speed. The course was fun and educative.

The instructor was very knowledgeable and experienced in the subject matter. Class was engaging with multiple different activities. I feel well prepared to take and pass the Scrum Master training.

Great training and David is makes it interesting!

It was a great job by Chris.

Great education on a matter that i saw as relevant in current stage of my career

Always entertaining. Course subject matter is great and does in fact represent real-world scenarios in most cases. I found this quite helpful. Thanks, David.

David was an amazing instructor, and the pace of the course was perfect, with many real world examples. The whole structure was really well done. There were folks from all over the US, with varied backgrounds, and working situations. I would definitely recommend this course with David for anyone seeking this certification.

David was great! He really helped us learn Agile, and the point of being a Scrum Master much more deeply, beyond the basics. He is an encyclopedia! Thanks David!!

If possible, I would have given six stars. As usual, David just doesn't stick to the Scrum Alliance material, but goes to the bottom of topics and shares his rich expertise and insight during the class which helps us to get a better grip on it. The lively debate and conversation that he drives is very much enjoyable and is a bonus. Thanks David.

I took the certification course over a weekend and it went smoothly. Instructor was knowledgeable and personable. Was a smaller class size which I think contributed to such a positive experience as it allowed for easier slow downs and pacing decisions.

I really enjoyed learning scrum framework with Grow-Lean and would commend David for his practical, fun and interactive approach to teaching.

Good course work content and good instructor.

I really enjoyed taking David's class! Very informative and full of hands-on exercises.

I passed me certification today! I big shout out to Chris Doss who is a an amazing instructor. His training was interactive, engaging and clear. I learned a lot from this course and connected with other participants.

David was a great teacher. He made the class relevant and kept the pace hopping. Questions and discussions were encouraged. I would take a class from him again.

Great two day session for the A-CSM training. The material covered and discussions were at the right length.

I enjoyed taking my Certified Scrum Product Owner course from Grow-Lean with David Bulkin. He was a great instructor and easily created a solid and interactive course that allowed us to be engaged and learn/deepen our knowledge on the subject with ease. It was also a great experience to take this course with my classmates as we shared experiences and had a great time doing the hands-on exercises together.

I appreciated the format and exercises during the course. I really felt that I was prepared with a solid understanding and study guide for the CSM.

One of the better Agile courses I have taken. The content was very well presented, interesting, and useful. The format was engaging and interactive, and it moved at a smart pace (I didn't doze off once). The instructor (Arlen) clearly put a lot of effort into preparing the course material/resources. I would definitely recommend.

Arlen was articulate, knowledgeable and engaging. He had a broad spectrum of content that allowed the class to think and relate!

This is a great course. With the two days course I learn some skills that can use in the product in our organization. And also this is a 9pm to 5am course for me in Taiwan's timezone but still is a great learning journey for me.

The CSP-PO class was informative, thought provoking and the breakout sessions made it more transparent how different organizations view the Agile process. Thank you Arlen!

Amazing introduction to scrum and agile frameworks. As a part of a start-up, we needed solutions that could scale and provide the same agility we needed to innovate. DP at Grow lean kept the class engaged, wasn't afraid to provide feedback and correction in a humorous and meaningful way, and inspired students to pursue and agile mindset.

I enjoyed the Certified Scrum Professional Product Owner Course, it was great with brilliant insights and amazing group exercises.

Don was a great instructor. He knew the material exceptionally well and he could teach it in a very clear and enjoyable manner. I will probably look for other classes he offers that I can take.

Mr. Patti made this course very engaging. This is my first experience with scrum. I'm glad I chose this class. I feel as though I have a good base and I'm more confident as I begin my journey into this new field.

This was a wonderfully interactive, informative and overall great course. Don Patti was a great instructor, he made everything easy to understand and fun. I would definitely take another class with him and Grow-Lean. So happy I took this certification!!

Arlen was excellent and brought some excitement to the course. Perfect blend of practical exercises, class discussion and instructor lead information.

Excellent A-CSPO course delivered by Arlen Bankston. Well presented, packed with useful information, high quality visuals, and interactive, engaging team exercises. Arlen brings solid industry experience with relevant stories and scenarios to support the course content. Highly recommend.

Great training with lots of additional, personalized material. Arlen was terrific.

Good overview of Product Management, and review of good Product Management practices

Highly interactive two day course focusing on many of the pillars of the Product Owner role. Many of the skills being shared were not only communicated, but more importantly, demonstrated during the course. Would highly recommend for POs just getting started and in their first years within the role to hear other perspectives. Many of the exercises are usable tools for day to day work within the role, thank you!

One of the best Scrum training courses I've attended. Well planned, ran smoothly from start to finish. I was able to gather more useful information specific to my PO role than from other courses in the past. Highly recommend.

Arlen is a skilled facilitator and brings a wealth of experience to the table. This enriches the experience significantly.

I enjoyed the material and especially the interactive components!

The course was interactive and had a solid mix of instructor-led delivery, breakout sessions, and interactive quizzing that helped with the exam preparation. The trainer, Donald Patti, was kind, funny, informative, and attentive, and with the learning from this course, I easily passed my exam. Thank you!

A great interative class combining instruction, group activities and open dialog. I would take another class from this instructor - David Bulkin

David is an amazing coach of agile and general leadership. Where many teachers will provide textbook observations, David provides practical advice based on real experiences. I always feel that I come away with tactical improvements that I can make as a leader and coach for my own teams. He also has a unique ability to make even a virtual training engaging and totally fun.

David hosted a fun and informative class and he kept me engaged during the two days. I really enjoyed learning from someone with a wealth of knowledge and experience and appreciated the extra time David was willing to spend 1:1 to address any extra concerns and learning opportunities. David, you gave great advice during the class, went above and beyond the learning objectives, and helped me achieve my ACSM. I will definitely recommend your classes to my colleagues and look forward to attending another class in the future. Thank you!

Class was extremely insightful and helped me on my journey switching careers!

It was a great class and Arlen was an excellent instructor. He adapted and adjusted the focus of the course as we went to make sure that everyone in the class got the most they could out of it.
