"I am pleased and impressed with the Agile course, as it lived up to my expectations. Now three months after the course, I can see how my test teams have implemented changes that have come directly from the course, which has made us more efficient and effective. I can clearly see the ROI from this investment and I intend on sending more people for Agile training.”
