Testimonials

Martin Smith, Agile Scrum Coach, O2 UK

Faisal is very smart, articulate and knowledgeable. He "gets" agile and can convert his technical and management experience into effective guidance for those embarking on the Agile journey. I have no hesitation in recommending him as a Agile Coach and Trainer but also as a great colleague.

Chinh Pham, Business Development Manager, Trustive

Faisal is an engaging Scrum Master trainer. He knows his topic and I like the way he uses his own personal experiences to clarify some of the points in the Scrum Guide. Thank you for making the course enjoyable and informative.

Graham Lovelady Telefonica UK

I recently attended a Professional Scrum Master (PSM) training course presented by Faisal and found him to be (a) extremely knowledgable on the subject, and (b) a very professional, capable presenter. He clearly knows the subject well, utilising personal experience to demonstrate points made in the syllabus, and has a very relaxed and practical style of presenting the learning matter. I found the course enjoyable, informative and (as I passed the final assessment) highly productive. I have no hesitation in recommending Faisal's work in this role.

Joy Kelsey, Senior Agile Lecturer, QA Ltd (colleague)

Faisal is an excellent Scrum Trainer who knows his subject extremely well and can pass this experience on to people so that they are able to use the Agile methodologies in their workplaces. Faisal has also show diligence and is extremely professional in anything he does.

Neil Padgen, Supervisory Specialist, BBC Monitoring

I took part in a very enjoyable PSM1 course with Faisal. He delivered the material clearly and enthusiastically, and was able to answer questions both about Scrum theory and about practical applications with no hesitation. I'd have no problem recommending anyone to take a course with him. Thanks!
