Overall, Nice Job!
It was hard to hear sometimes. The addition of the mic the second day was helpful but it wasn't always used. The white board and sticky pads were a little hard to see from the back of the room. Several times when we were to do group activities, my table was unclear about what we were supposed to do and when the slides disappeared from the screen we didn't have anything to reference. (We forgot that it might be in the booklet). Maybe offer more re-inforcement of definitions of key words. I keep forgetting what empiricism is and it would have been nice for a reminder along the way when the word was used.
The practical examples from real world scenarios you had been involved with helped. The short breaks every hour worked well. Greg was very engaging and animated which was nice. Maggie was more practical. Something for everyone. Overall, nice job.

Maggie Schoonover did an excellent job of leading our class. It was content-heavy but she kept it interesting with her high level of energy and encouraging discussion.

Excellent course
I have taken Professional Scrum Foundations 3-days training.
It was very interactive, content was excellent and trainers were amazing to explain everything in more practical way.

The class really picked up in the last…
The class really picked up in the last 2 sessions. I really wish we could have spent more time on product owner behaviors and responsibilities with less on introductory materials.
