Congratulations on this new direction. I attended one of your courses in San Jose many, many years ago. Little did I know, your course would quite literally change the direction and trajectory of my career. Still to this day, I look to your work to find advice on challenges that my teams face. Thank you for your dedication to helping make the art of crafting software development a fun and sustainable endeavor. All the software my teams have released into production over the years have the legacy of Mike Cohn's lessons working behinds the scenes.

Ahh, thank you. That’s very kind of you.

Congratulations, Mike & Team! We brought Julie in-house to delivery CSM training several years ago. She was fantastic! So, we had her back to train another group. Mike, I couldn't agree more with your comments about her. Kudos for modeling vulnerability. No doubt this is a win-win for all involved!

Thanks, Martina. I’m glad Julie did such a great job for you. She always does. Thanks for your comment.

Mike, Thank you for your vulnerability. Having someone with your experience share not only that you were wrong, but explain how it happened is very powerful. Being willing to challenge the stories we tell ourselves is crucial to true growth and transformation. I value your candor and humility. Thanks!

Thanks, Will. I really appreciate that.

Way to branch out and take a new step Mike! I have attended one training session with Lance Dacy. Very knowledgeable and instantly likable. I'm sure all the trainers you have chosen will continue to make peoples work lives better with their teaching of your agile materials and ideas.

Congratulations on the new Trainer lineup! I have done both CSPO, CSM and A-CSM with Scott Dunn and he is AWESOME! You'll have great success I'm sure!

Mike Cohn • 4 years ago

Thanks, Linda. He definitely is.

People will be disappointed if it’s not me - FALSE (unfortunately)

This is explicitly why I took the courses I did! :)

Mike Cohn • 4 years ago

I understand, Steven, but I have complete confidence in these four and we always announce who is teaching a course when we announce it.

This is great! I just took the virutal Certified Product Owner class with Lance and loved it. I hope you can expand to having other virutal certifications such as Certified Scrum Professional! (I am already a certified Scrum Master through you from 2 years ago).

Mike Cohn • 4 years ago

Great, Laura. I’m glad you loved Lance’s Virtual CSPO course. I’m not surprised. We are definitely planning on rolling out some of the additional courses. Thanks!

Fantastic news. I am sure you will be very successful!
