Agile Brain Group Reviews 

Had previously completed the training and successfully gained scrum master certification, but was seeking a refresher. This course and particularly the trainer (Kim Brainard) far surpassed my previous course. The pace and approach were engaging, gained great tips and techniques - including ways to aid 'unlearning' skewed views of the key values and principles of scrum (which unfortunately some organisations apply). Would highly recommend this course !!

Absolutely effective approach to learning Scrum in a short period of time. Well organized, concise content presented in a streamlined fashion that was a pleasure to attend. Kim is extraordinary at what she does. She combined poise with scrappy to drive home the true meaning of Scrum.

Instructor Kim Brainard was phenomenal! I give 5 stars and highly recommend her.

Kim has such a great methodology to teaching unfamiliar concepts and truly driving the idea home. You'll learn, be challenged and have fun all at the same time.

I wish her engaging style was emulated across all of the other areas I have to learn in, but where Kim is an available instructor - I will choose her every time!

Kim Brainard is an excellent instructor. Absolutely focused, very intentional, and makes it easy to learn the principles necessary for achieving the CSM. Hardly any study effort required, she ensures that the principles become naturally understood and accepted by the class.

I took the CSM course with Kim Brainard and she was a fabulous instructor. She kept the course very engaging, interactive and taught us through relatable examples. She was attentive to the groups questions and through many activities & breakout room allowed multiple avenues for the material to sink in. Through Kim's training, I was able to pass my CSM exam on the first try. Thanks Kim!!

Exceptional instructor! Kim Brainard's technical guidance in the Certified Scrum Master course was top-notch. Her teaching style not only made the learning process enjoyable but also played a key role in my success on the exam—passed on the first try. Coming from a background in formal instruction, I can confidently say she stands out as one of the best. She adapts to every student’s learning style. She is gifted. The goat!! Highly recommend her for anyone seeking a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience.

I recently had the privilege of attending a 3-day training session led by Kim Brainard, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. From the outset, Kim's expertise and passion for the subject were evident. The way they engaged with the attendees, addressing our questions with patience and depth, made the learning process both enjoyable and highly informative.

One of the most impressive aspects of the training was how Kim seamlessly integrated practical examples and interactive elements, which helped in cementing our understanding of the concepts. The balance between theory and hands-on activities was perfect, ensuring that we were not only passive listeners but active participants in our learning journey.

I highly recommend Kim Brainard for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of Scrum Master and related certifications. This training was not just an educational experience but a truly inspiring journey. Thank you, Kim, for such a rewarding and enriching three days!

Kim was great. Very engaging and entertaining. Very knowledgeable and shared that knowledge not by lecturing, but by sharing stories and analogies that would help us relate the content to our own personal experiences. I really enjoyed the interactive nature of the class. I passed my test on the first try with flying colors :) Would highly recommend to anyone interested in the basics of Scrum.

Kim Brainard uses a variety of techniques to ensure students have a thorough understanding of the subject matter. Her techniques combined with excellent pacing, warm and interactive learning environment, relatable examples, and humor make for a great overall experience. Highly recommend!!!

Kim's classes are great!! She keeps the class energized and provides a wealth of information.

Kim is a Force Multiplier and a flat-out pure superstar in the Scrum AGILE space! I was a Product Owner for Standard Chartered Bank in Kuala Lumpur...and I damn near wanted to cry at the end of class on day 1 because what we did and learned in 4.5 hours, I didn't get in the training/coaching at my job in 2.5 years while in Malaysia & Singapore! She's the Bomb Dot Com! Thanks Kim and ABG!

I highly recommend taking your CSPO certification course with Kim Brainard!

Kim is a great teacher who took time to make sure we all understood the material. She created engaging, interactive exercises to help us learn; we did not have to sit there listening to a lecture

When I read the class description, I felt instinctively that this was going to be a good workshop and I'm happy to say that my instincts were spot on!

Kim is a very energetic teacher, and had several different teaching methods, and overall, made a fun and engaging workshop.

If there's ever a topic you're interested in, and she covers it, you'll be confident in your knowledge, and an expert by the end of the class.

Just spent 3 days with one of the best scrum trainers I have ever spent time with. Kim excels at imparting knowledge in a fun and effective way. Can hardly wait to do it again.

Love Kim's facilitation. Her courses are very practical.

Kim was a fantastic coach and made the class super enjoyable. I learned so much and really looking forward to taking another course in the future!

Took the CSM class with Kim and she is fantastic. She delivers the material in a way that is easy to understand and retain while also exposing us to some awesome tools! Looking forward to taking more of her classes.

I took the 3 half-day class with Kim and she is AMAZING. A real trooper! I passed my exam right after the 3rd day class was over first time! I will be taking additional classes and I will make sure to have Kim as my instructor! Thanks Kim!!

Energy of the instructor, even when she was very sick. The group work was effective and enjoyable.
