Courses by Michael James
Mentor
Jurgen De Smet



Michael James is a gifted facilitator of the learning process who knows how to
create engaging experiences that go above and beyond the expectations of his
students. One of the keys to his approach is to offload teaching the
introductory theory of Scrum into series of interactive e-learning modules as
well as a handy, Scrum reference card. These prerequisite training materials are
both really well-produced and freely available to anyone. They also freed up the
class from being a boring, broadcast-only overview of Scrum theory and instead
it helped to create one of the most experiential and interactive training
sessions that I've ever been a part of. He used a time-boxed structure of only
lecturing for 10-minutes at any given time, which led to many opportunities to
learn through doing exercises and small group discussions. There was a strong
emphasis of letting the students teach and learn from each other based upon
their own experiences, and then he would follow up on the more confusing or
controversial points. Michael is completely committed to preparing his student
for success before, during and after his class. I'd highly recommend Michael's
CSM course to any serious student looking to learn more about Scrum and agile
methodologies.

I had the pleasure of having Michael as the instructor in my Scrum Master
course, and I can say without a doubt that this was the best training I have
taken, and an excellent use of my time. Michael's high-energy, dynamic
personality kept us engaged for two solid, long days, where he combined
interactive team activities, hand outs and relevant feedback to ALL
participants. Not only did we laugh, we learned, and after taking a nice
month-long holiday, I passed my Scrum Master certification on the first attempt.
His use of stories, combined with his extensive knowledge of Agile theory AND
real life examples served to drive home and make relevant his material; I would
gladly take another course from Michael and highly recommend him to anyone
considering Agile coursework.
