David Bulkin's class for Certified Scrum Master was great. He presented the material in a way that was easily understandable and was energetic in doing so. Class size was only 11 people so he could spend time answering questions. He was also able to explain the material in ways relatable to my current position. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that is considering it.

Very good CSM class that I took to pass the CSM on my first try. David's class was interactive and interesting too. He used real life examples to help drive the points home.

Would you like to have an in-depth discussion about the principles of SCRUM, rather than just studying a bunch of text and taking quizzes? I found the discussion a really effective tool to understanding these concepts and applying them to real world scenarios. The materials and practice quizzes were really helpful too and prepared me for the CSM certification. I'd definitely recommend this program!

I didn't know what to expect because I had never before taken an online class. At no point did I feel disengaged or feel that I was in a virtual class. David Bulkin is a fantastic instructor, offering guidance and helpful hints, while agilely managing the chats. The course content was clear, concise, and comprehensible. The class was set up so that I was able to learn a lot in a short period of time. It provided information that was useful in the context as to how I will be using it. After taking this class, I now have a better understanding of Agile and Scrum methodologies. This class more than met my expectations and is the reason why, I believe, I scored a 98% on the exam on my first attempt. I look forward to taking additional courses offered by Grow-Lean and hopefully with this instructor. R. Brian Perdue Certified Scrum Master

Don Patti was superb teacher. He did not waver in his energy for teaching SCRUM and Agile to the class. I took the CSM test today and passed with flying colors! It's worth the investment. I highly recommend.

I took a virtual 2-day CSM course with David Bulkin from Grow-Lean. I liked how he sent us pre reads ahead of time to help us make the best of the in-class time. The training was very engaging, interactive and had deep content. The games and examples were thought provoking and helped in a deeper understanding of scrum rather than highlighting just the scrum framework. Grow-Lean's sample tests in addition to David's instructions/explanations in class, made the actual CSM test very easy. I highly recommend Grow-Lean to anyone who is looking to understand Agile and Scrum and get many techniques in the implementation of Scrum.

I took a virtual 2 day CSM Course with David, who is really amazing at keep us as engaged as an in-person class with interactive exercises and partner work. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and earnestly wanted his students to become aspiring scrum experts in the real world, not just to pass the test. It was also interesting to learn from classmates how Scrum can be applied to industries outside of tech. Highly recommend David and Grow-Lean!! Will be signing up for other classes in the new year!

Dave Bulkin of Grow Lean provided an excellent Certified Scrum Master 2-day training session. His material and presentation was well thought out, well delivered and kept my attention. I would recommend taking courses from Grow-Lean. Thanks Dave!

David was dynamic, engaging, knowledgeable, and funny. He certainly knew the material and provided exercises and real-world examples to drive home the key points. The pre-readings and quizzes were a great way to get an introduction to the course and to get the basics down. I would recommend the course to anyone wanting this certification.

This class (CSM Certification) was perhaps the best delivered course I have taken in my career. Mr. Balkin was a master at presenting the material, including and engaging all of the class participants to ensure that learning was taking place, not merely knowing how to answer test questions. It was fun and interesting. Another notable observation - David Balkin was available from the beginning of the class start all the way to the ending and beyond. I don't think he ever left his teaching post. We were able to ask questions and clarifications during all of the breaks and even after the close of the day. I am HAPPY to recommend Grow-Lean and specifically Mr. David Balkin for any class course they offer!

Grow-Lean's Certified Scrum Master training provided by David Bulkin is fun and engaging. David does a great job at encouraging students to think outside the box and use teamwork to tackle all the unique situations one may encounter in the workplace instead of just trying to apply the same repeatable steps in all cases. I left this training not only with tools and techniques but the mindset to apply Scrum. Would recommend!

The instructor (David) provided an excellent remote course (CSM.) He cares about your learning and weaves stories into his material that help get the material across. I would recommend it to anyone looking to take this exam or who is interested in the subject. I appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness

Just completed Grow-Lean's Scrum Master course and my initial reaction to the course was that the instructor made learning fun! I have a grounded understanding of scrum basics and feel ready for the exam! The level of engagement for a two full-day virtual course was just right and David has consistent high energy and humor that allowed for a productive education!

This week I had the pleasure of taking the Certified Scrum Master course given by David Bulkin of Grow-Lean LLC. He was without a doubt, one of the best instructors I have ever had. It was definitely not your typical training class. David is extremely knowledgeable and shares his wealth of experience in a manner that captures the attention of all participants. He cares about the students and does everything possible to ensure that everyone will pass with ease. I can attest to that since I completed the class yesterday and passed the test this afternoon, with flying colors and plenty of time to spare. David is extremely personable and made what some would call “dry” material, actually interesting and definitely FUN! I’d highly recommend David’s classes to anyone who wants to actually learn, not just pass the exam!!

Donald Patti is truly a Scrum professional. His class instruction is relevant and he provides real-world examples to emphasize concepts. The hands-on exercises with the class participants was the most enjoyable part of the course. After taking this course I feel confident in becoming a certified Scrum Master!

The CSM training was very detailed. The class offered several ways to learn and understand SCRUM and AGILE foundation. The class is fast paste, but it allowed everyone time to understand each concept. The class targeted diverse organization. Allowing individuals to share their input and reasoning for decision making.

The course provided a good overview of the SCRUM team with a focus on the SCRUM Master. It also filled in some gaps that I had relating to how the SCRUM process is implemented in our company. The class was not perfect, we had some technical issues that while frustrating did provide an opportunity to work through issues.

The class was great! Don P. was a great instructor who clearly translated the concepts behind learning the ways of the scrum master. Overall I would highly recommend the class for anyone who is wanting to better the way they tackle product development.

I attended the 2-day session with David during the weekend. It was amazing to learn and get a few agile concepts refreshed with David and the class. The class was just the right size of 10 people allowing David (instructor) to provide an individual focus for each of us. I personally would recommend this course to anyone willing to learn CSM.

Fantastic Class! Chris Doss is an excellent instructor. The Certified Scrum Master class was laid out well and in a manner where the information was easily retained,

Chris was an excellent instructor and the CSM class was well structured, easy to follow, and even included time to discuss real examples from class mates. Highly recommend this class and instructor!

The class provided insights about Scrum, Scrum Masters, roles involved in the process, and how each participates in SCRUM activities. Slides were instructive snd provided information that distinguished SCRUM as one of the Agile frameworks. Very helpful, informative, and preparatory for the CSM exam.

Don did an amazing job instructing the class over the course of a two-day period in preparation for not only the CSM exam, but to assume the duties of a Scrum Master at the conclusion of the course. I highly recommend Don’s course as he remains engaging and energetic throughout the class. I passed the CSM exam immediately following the course with a 98%.

Arlen is awesome instructor and I would love to take another class from him and I learn a lot from this class and would recommend Scrum Master from my company to take this class.

The trainer was highly engaging and used real-world examples to highlight the concepts throughout the course. Based on the practice exams, this course is very efficient at preparing you for the CSM exam.

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 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!!

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.

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!

This course was absolutely amazing! Don provides learning that is organized and easy to follow. Don also includes relevant real-world training activities and plenty of hands-on practice. I highly recommend taking CSM with Donald J Patti!

This course was very informative & interactive. I’ve put off taking this course for a couple years & glad I finally took it. It was well worth it. Don Patti was an exceptional instructor. I appreciate the patience & helpfulness from Don. I definitely will refer this course & Don to others.

Excellent course on scrum and the entire framework. The class featured professionals from different backgrounds and the instructor made sure to use relevant examples across the various industries. Schedule was 5 pm to 10:30 pm which suited me best as it didn't intervene with work schedule. Will certainly recommend!

Don was excellent! The course was extremely informative, well planned and fun! I enjoyed working with my team and really felt that I was being prepared for the knowledge required to successfully complete the exam. I would recommend anyone interested in becoming a CSM, take the course with Don.

DP from Grow-Lean did such an amazing job at keeping the class entertaining while packing in much needed information. He was thorough with eye catching visuals to help us remember pertinent information. I felt ready to take my exam after his class. Highly recommend to all who are considering Scrum Certifications (CSM).

I had an excellent experience taking a course with Grow-Lean. The course material prepared me very well for the exam. After a bit of studying, I was able to attain a 100%. Thank you Grow-Lean!

This is one of the best PD courses I've ever taken. It moved at a good pace, covered all relevant points, and had relevant group exercises. It was obvious the instructor, Donald Patti, was incredibly well versed in the subject details with plenty of life experience to pull examples from. I would highly recommend this course for anyone either working as a Scrum Master or someone transferring into this role.

Had great experience attending training to obtain Scrum Master certification. The material and content were well received and better than expected. Thanks to David B. for taking time to explain complex concepts in clear and plain language making it easy to understand.

Had the pleasure to take Donald Patti's Certified Scrum Master training, and as always his structure and content delivery makes it very easy to follow intense course work. There are many simulations and group exercises discussed through Miro board with Zoom breakout rooms for team discussions. Don makes his class very engaging, and quite entertaining with metaphors and real life examples. I previously took his SAFe POPM class and I personally find him to be a tremendous teacher. Highly recommend taking Don's classes.

Don Patti was a great instructor. Kept the course engaging and entertaining. He had plenty of dad jokes ready to go! He also provided more then enough material/resources to pass the CSM. I would highly recommend one of his classes.

I took the CSM course virtually with Grow-Lean for 2 back-to-back days. Donald Patti, who was our trainer, clearly articulated the CSM concepts and highlighted the practical practices that a Scrum Master would implement in the industry. Don kept the session very engaging and encouraged participation from all students. Highly recommend this course with Don if you are pursuing a CSM certification or want to increase your knowledge on Scrum/Agile topics.

The course was extremely helpful in preparing for the exam. Our instructor, Donald Patti, was fun and engaging and used relatable examples to explain the material. The test prep materials were extremely helpful.

I found Don's training to be incredibly engaging, thoughtful and fun! I was actually sad when it ended. Don's teaching, coaching, training materials and team exercises prepared me incredibly well for the exam. I took the exam less than 24hrs following the training and passed with a 98% score. I highly recommend Don and Grow-Lean!

FIrst impression with Grow-Lean was their webpage That was amazing. I mean a training site that answered all my questions before I got there. Well done. The class was great. I am Scrum Master and I was looking for practical knowledge that I could apply in my job. I am not just looking to get certs. This was a great class for that. If you want the answers, then Scrum may not be for you. This course helps you think and be confident that you will work with your teams to help them get better. David Bulkin, the instructor, was fantastic. He has a vast amount of Agile experience, and still comes off genuine and relatable. He told personal stories that supported the instruction as well as stories that created a great atmosphere. I enjoyed my fellow students as well. We had time to interact and learn from one another. Let me sum it up. I am really glad I took the class. Jeff

Really enjoyed the scrum course with David Bulkin. He went way beyond just teaching theory. We had a lot of discussions about actual business application in our work environments. Was very prepared for the exam.

I really enjoyed my CSM course since it was interactive, information-filled, and David was a knowledgeable and engaging instructor. I would definitely take a course with Grow Lean again.

The breakout group exercises were fantastic. Don covered everything he needed to about Agile/Scrum. That class moved along quickly and held my interest the entire weekend. I took the class on the weekend and passed the exam with a 94% on Monday morning. A fantastic experience.

The class was very knowledgeable and exciting. It was really refreshing to see the instructor coaching the team with interactive learning. The instructor was extremely helpful when asking questions about subjects we didn’t understand. Awesome Class!

100% satisfied and value for money. Well organised training with helpful materials. Polite emails for training guide and reminders; pre-training date.

The thoroughness of the content. The instructor’s energy level. The amount of content in two days seemed perfect for preparation to take the exam. The information provided before and after the class. The practice exams were extremely helpful, particularly the one on Kahoot - fun and memorable.

David was incredibly passionate about the material he was teaching. Every time I attend a training somewhere, a part of me is always worried that the course and/or trainer will be rigid, leading to boredom, less retention, and not an overall great experience. With David, he took the time to show why what he was teaching was important, and always kept the dialogue light-hearted and entertaining. He's a great asset to Grow-Lean!
