Training Course Feedback

Thanks to Kathy Marshak I got the highest score I've ever gotten on a SAFe exam.

Alvin Jackson, SAFe^® RTE Student

"I felt that our Instructors, Kathy and Doug, did an excellent job of presenting the SAFe program. They were diligent about keeping us on track and focused on the end result of making sure that we all understood the processes and practices of SAFe in preparation for the exam. I believe their presentations combined with the interactive activities kept everyone highly engaged."

Barb T., Implementing SAFe^® Student

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.

Leading SAFe^® Student

I really enjoyed the course, given the current situation with remote work/learning, ICON has really nailed the ability to deliver this content online. Thank you all so much for a great course.

Nina Chavez, Implementing SAFe^® Student

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.

I recently attended one of the highest value, 1-day training sessions of my career. Led by Larry LaSalle and offering a comprehensive look at the pathways and pitfalls to implementing OKRs at enterprise, I heartily recommend this opportunity.
