    PSM was a really helpful course which helped to understand the Scrum framework in detail. Preeth was a really dedicated trainer. He engaged with the participants closely during the class and provide a lot of real business scenarios as examples while explaining the Scrum concept. I would highly recommend this course and the trainer for anyone who likes to learn more about Scrum
