Dan Brown

An excellent introduction to Scrum and food for thought on how to apply it to our organisation

The course is very fast paced, it is a large amount of information, and you must review the material on your own after to fully understand Scrum. However, it is a very interactive course that gives you a mini experience of what it feels like to be part of an actual Scrum team. Dan is also a great instructor that will answer any question you have as well as provide additional material that will help you during this journey.

Very informative course with a dedicated teacher (Dan). Thought it was very well spent days that gave me new insight into Scrum and agile thinking.

Dan is an excellent facilitator, he is engaging, takes account for learning styles and his knowledge is exceptional. Highly recommend the course and Dan as a facilitator.

Dan delivered our PSK Course from Scrum.org and it was fantastic - really interesting and expertly delivered. This is not an introduction into Scrum - you should look at his other courses for that. This is for people who already have a good knowledge of Scrum and want to learn and encorporate Kanban techniques to understand the flow of work through their team and understand how to measure/forecast more effectively. If you're already using Scrum and want some help managing work within a Sprint then I can't recommend Dan's course highly enough.

Yes KanbanDan Can !!! This truly was one of the best training classes I followed in a long time. Dan clearly has extensive knowledge about Kanban and is very good in skillfully bringing it across to students in numerous ways. It truly was a delight to be a part of the class and I cannot recommend it more highly.

The class was really full of learnings and so much practical. Dan has a lot of experience to share and is able to help you where you are in your journey of learning Kanban combined with Scrum. I learnt so much in terms of Defining a workflow, creating and understanding metrics and how to guide teams in implementing Kanban on top of Scrum to improve the flow of value.

Dan was great!

Dan, thankyou so very much for an outstanding 2 day course. The Scrum methodology and framework is not something I have been significantly exposed to. Your training style and technique is excellent and made for a really enjoyable training session.

Although the concepts of Scrum are by definition "simple", what's not simple is adapting your thought process and mindset to properly recognise and appreciate the Scrum values and framework, and truly take them on board. That's where the value of having someone like Dan Brown (aka Kanban Dan) on hand to guide you through, and most importantly challenge you, really proves its worth. Thanks Dan for a great couple of days!

This Scrum PSM course impressively balances depth and clarity, providing a comprehensive introduction to Scrum principles while ensuring concepts are easily digestible for all attendees. Its interactive, real-world scenarios foster an engaging learning environment, successfully preparing participants for practical application, and hence making it an excellent investment for aspiring Scrum Masters.

Dan was very engaging. The only room for improvement would be that switching between the 2 murals got confusing at times.

Amazing content and instructor!

Great really interactive session, lots of new learnings.

The course was full of great techniques that I can immediately take away and use. I think it will make a real difference to my work and my ability to help my team.

I took this course as an offering from my company. I was pleasantly surprised with the course content and the facilitation skills of our facilitator, Dan Brown. I would totally recommend this course to everyone interested in learning facilitation skills from the House of Scrum!!

Dan is an excellent trainer great experience

This course is perfect for anyone that is starting their journey in Scrum facilitation and needs some hints and tips, and also more experienced facilitators needing some additional items for their toolbox. Dan was a great presenter who clearly knew the subject matter well and had some excellent examples to use alongside the course material. Would have been 5 stars if there was a bit more time for some of the exercises.

Really enjoyed the PSM I Course with Dan Brown. As an attendee you will really benefit from ensuring you have a good understanding of the scrum framework and scrum guide before the course. In that way you will be able to focus on the mastery being taught and ask more specific questions to deepen your understanding. I was really impressed with the organisation of the online course (interactive Mural) and have found it a great resource to reflect on. I was tempted to take the exam initially without doing the course, but the course was certainly valuable in content more than any number of blogs/books could be. I will definitely aim to attend more courses in future on the back of this one.

Very informative and engaging class with Dan. Thank you so much!

As it is my second training, I had a better understanding of practicing scrum. The items are better broken down and I didn't feel tired out at all. Looking forward to taking my assessment

Great class to review and check back on the essence of the scrum framework, and then build on this with Kanban principles and practices.

Dan was extremely engaged and made the class lively and interactive. thanks.

Dan knows his onions. Hands on practical training over 2 days. I sure will be engaging with Dan again. We could do a little bit better with time management. Everything else is good.

Dan was great, upbeat & engaging. Use of props to explain scenarios was a great touch.

Knowledgeable trainer who managed to make the learning fun, even though it can be a little dry in places. Ours was a large group and he did well to keep us on topic most of the time.

Excellent experience, I enjoyed each minute of the course

Dan was very knowledgeable not just about the Scrum guide in theory, but also in practise. He was clear in the challenges which could be faced in the real world implementation of Scrum and I felt that by the end of the class I was not only prepared for the assessment but for my role as well. Dan's humour also meant the course was fun an engaging throughout, there was never a moment where I wished it was over.

I found Dan to be a very kind and conscientious trainer who really understood his stuff. I really enjoyed my time in his class and can see how my learning can clearly be applied to help me in my daily work. Thank you.

The class was extremely well put together and facilitated. Dan's knowledge in this area is extremely high. I believe the whole class got a lot from its content, I know I certainly did.

Really happy with the KanbanDan's approach and material he shared during the class.

Course was great Dan was a really engaging course Tutor. Willing to listen around how our company are looking to use Scrum, while insisting on teaching us the pure Scrum methodology

Thank you so much for great energy, healthy mix of serious and funny, lots of knowledge and tips. It was an amazing experience to learn from you and together with you. Would recommend!

Dan was a very engaging trainer and he made us enjoy our 2 days PSM course with him. Loads of interaction and useful information from him. Thanks

Dan was very knowledgable about Scrum and the course was very informative.

The course was really well ran and was fun to do. We covered a lot in 2 days and I learned a lot. Dan Brown, the Trainer, had lots of really interesting anecdotes, and was great at providing examples that helped to cement the learning. At the end of it I had a really solid appreciation of how to apply kanban principles to scrum.

Super 2 day course with Dan

The class was well organised and a good balance of instructor-led content, instructor and attendee real-world experiences, and group exercises. Even though it was held virtually, the class maintained a good level of engagement. Dan Brown was the instructor and he was excellent at guiding and answering questions whenever they come up.

Excellent delivery with examples.

Enjoyed the course and was delivered by a person with a great knowledge and understanding of the subject matter.

Professional Scrum with Kanban (Dec 2020) Dan was an excellent trainer who used relevant examples to impart knowledge. The class was delivered virtually and Dan's masterful use of Mural was a fantastic bonus!

Really enjoyed the course - fast paced and full of excellent practical examples to reinforce the learning. Very professional and supportive trainer. Would have liked a bit more time on metrics maybe day1 but doing that post training.

I attended the Scrum with Kanban course in December led by Dan Brown "Kanban Dan". Absolutely loved the course content and structure. The trainer did everything possible to make it an enjoyable and interactive experience despite being conducted remotely.

Very helpful practice of Scrum supported by the trainers invaluable experience

Probably one of the best virtual instructor led training I've ever attended. Very easy to follow and highly engaging. I'd strongly recommended Dan and Oscar anytime!

Great resource. I only haven't given it 5 stars as I haven't had time to fully look through everything yet.

Thorough presentation by the facilitators covering Scrum in just enough detail to be able to explain it apply confidently. The practical exercise that runs throughout really helped the content come alive.

Excellent course

Very good experience
