I attended the Professional Scrum Master I training conducted by Preeth, and it was an excellent experience. He is extremely knowledgeable and explains concepts with great clarity. What stood out most was his ability to visually map out the topics from memory, using well-organized, color-coded illustrations that made complex ideas easy to understand and retain.
