Training Course Feedback

I was so impressed with every aspect of this workshop—from well-designed content to great contextual explanations...[the facilitators] provided real-world examples to add context, and made sure that everyone in the room both understood the material and had opportunity to share questions and experiences. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to gain a foundational knowledge of EBA and how to begin the journey of transformation for their team or organization.

EBAS 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

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.
