I recently concluded my PSM 1 training from Agilemania with Piyush being the instructor. I have had multiple trainings before but this one was very different - Good different. For many reasons :
1. Piyush’s content delivery was by far the best I have seen. This tells he has done this many times or to be short, is an expert at this.
2. Unique way to present. I won’t break the surprise but there were no slides or ppt's during the training. And yet, it was so engaging, I felt as active throughout as at the start. This also gave me inspiration to do something different when it comes to your presentation.
3. Different types of activities in breakout rooms. This gave me the opportunity to interact with fellow trainees like myself who were there to learn. You got to try out those. P.S. - there will be always a catch.
4. Full of real life examples. Piyush gave real life examples from his experience that helped me to understand the concepts better.
5. Lastly, there were optimum breaks in 2 days that helped me to remain focused throughout.
When I was choosing the trainer for PSM 1 from Scrum.org, I read a lot of reviews for many trainers. I chose Agilemania after careful evaluation. I was right. Hope this honest review helps others in line.
