I simply listen to the course instead of worrying about the visual aspects, and so far I think it has a lot of value and I'm glad that I purchased it.

Material is sufficient, but since I know most of the things it is not surprising to me so I am not giving more stars.

I work as an Agile Coach and own PSM1 and PAL1 certifications. I am always looking for possibilities to widen my knowldege and to better understand and explain the "why" of the agile concepts/mindset,.... Thank you very much Masha for this "deep dive" into agility. I recommend this course for all advanced agility users/POs/PMs/Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches.

Starts with the comparison with Waterfall and the why part, which catches the attention!! Well described through the processes, disciplines, values.

Masha's pedagogy is lucid, and the concepts are explained with examples. In the Retrospective session the tools suggested such as Miro, Funretro will be beneficial for teams working remotely. The Do's and Don'ts for each sprint ceremonies helps to get a clear picture of how to conduct a scrum. Overall Good job done!!!

The course is excellent. That said, I believe the majority focuses on an overview of Agile not becoming an Agile coach. To me, sections 10, 13, and 14 are the ones that have some insights into Agile Coaching. I think this is a great course for people who want a refresher on Agile or who are new Scrum Masters or Product Owners who want to level up. I still give it 5 stars because it has great content and I would definitely take another one of Masha's courses.

Esta bien explicado los principios, pero se va muy profundo al desarrollo de software cuando el mundo del Agile Coaching es mucho más amplio que eso, es decir, XP (Xtreme Programming) si va por SW, pero lo demás se va mucho a la agilidad de las empresas, no solo a proyectosd e desarrollo de SW

Great course. I could understand the concepts of several frameworks and the Agile mindset. It could be slightly interactive and should include more visuals of flows to make it easier to follow content as we go along. I loved the summary slide at the end of each lesson.
