The course was useful and educational as it was able to give me a quick overview of the important areas to take note of. The live and interactive format allowed students to interact with the course instructor so that any questions could be immediately resolved. This allowed the entire class to learn from the real life queries and examples posed by other students. I would definitely recommend it to my peers.
The training was good. The content covered by the trainer was extremely informative and incredibly useful. He also provided some real examples to provide more clarity. Overall, the training met my expectation and I will surely recommend this training to others.
From my point of view, the course was a very good introduction to Agile and the role of a Business Analyst.
I hadn't received any formal training for a long time so was surprised at how fast the day went and how much knowledge I managed to absorb. The presenter was knowledgeable and nice individual and the workshop left me wanting to explore more on the subject. Overall, a good experience!
Good course. Thanks, KH!
