The training gave a comprehensive and expansive review of what being a ScrumMaster was all about. Lizzy, the trainer provided many real-world examples for all the topics in the curriculum.

Lizzy Morris is an outstanding teacher. She brings extensive experience to bear and is comfortable dealing at all levels of an organization, from the individual contributor to the executive level. Although she taught the basics in the class I took, I was able to get useful advice for overcoming organizational obstacles in my own company for adopting scrum practices.

The Golden Gate Bridge, the boutiques along Fillmore Street, the cool summers, the fog, and the fabulousness, all describe this city in California. Completely destroyed by a massive earthquake in the early 20th century, the city was rebuilt and its renovation in terms of architecture and a financial centre continued up until the 1980s, as a result of which today it is the undisputed leader in economics and modern high rises. It is home to several leading national and international banks including Wells Fargo, Federal Reserve Bank, Bank of America, and several others. Biotechnology, research, and technology companies have also seen a huge rise due to their payroll tax exemption policies.
