Testimonials

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.

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.

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.

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.

Tony Dudson, Scrum Master

Faisal is a very competent and personable tutor. He delivers course work with great confidence and hands on industry experience that he draws from when needed in class. He has great knowledge and is always willing to answer any questions and revisit subjects in any areas that attendees may need clarification on. I would certainly recommend other teams and individuals to take courses run by Faisal
