Training Course Feedback

Thoroughly enjoyed and learned a great deal from the course. Can't imagine anyone doing it better!

Implementing SAFe^® Student

I attended the Certified Scrum Product Owner course last week and now have a new certification. After attending two certification classes in addition to ICON's SA class, I can definitely say that Icon provided a much better experience. The content was superior and there was more of it. The food was also better.

Strongly recommend this course. It provides instrumental tools to help the Agile practitioner expand beyond the bounds of dev teams to identify and quantify bottlenecks in the flow/delivery of outcomes from an idea's inception to delivery to customers.

SAFe^® DevOps Student

ICON's SAFe^® DevOps class struck a great balance of establishing foundational concepts and equipping participants with tactical tools to influence outcomes. You’ll take away a tangible game plan to create efficiencies, better empower teams and instill proven practices to transform your delivery pipeline.

Many thanks to ICON and Dan [James] for his fabulous instruction. This class was not a DevOps refresher. The on-going discussion and activity forced me to think about my operational value stream in a way I hadn't before. I feel like I have some strong, data-based arguments for change - and that's what it's all about.

True to the course description, this course will enable Agile leaders to implement 'Order Of Magnitude' advancements, regardless of your company's Agile maturity.
