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.

Dan Tillin, Technical Team Lead UBM Aviation Worldwide Limited

We recently undertook a week of Agile/Scrum Training with Faisal conducting the classes. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable of the subject matter, and able to highlight the commercial and personal benefits of adopting Agile methodologies. The course was well balanced with theory and practical exercises which were fun and interesting and well designed to effectively explain the way Agile can improve your development processes and how the various Scum elements should be practiced. We were very pleased that we chose Faisal and hope to work with him again in the future.

Tracy Labrador, Scrum Master/ Agile Coach, O2 UK

Faisal is an exceptional Scrum Coach and Trainer. He has an ability to always stay level headed and to put every situation into perspective. I have worked with Faisal for over a year and have always regarded him as a mentor and an expert in his field.

Reza Azizi, Chief executive officer, Mabna Ertebat

We attended Professional Scrum Master) course that Faisal conducted in Nov 2011. Faisal is a great trainer, he gave us best answers about our endless questions and guided everyone perfectly to learn scrum. I learned many things on that course about scrum and I will use most of them in my new project as soon as possible.

Barbara Gibson, Telefonica UK

Faisal presented a Professional Scrum Master (PSM) training course that I attended. Faisal communicated the course material very clearly, was able to provide good practical examples to clearly articulate the subject matter. Even those students who already had considerable experience in using Scrum techniques were able to learn something new.
