CSM (Certified Scrum Master) Experience

Hi Everybody,

Recently I have completed CSM (Certified Scrum Master) certification. Overall, it is a fabulous experience

Organization:      Simplilearn

Trainer:                 Satisha Venkataramaiah

Venue:                   Hyatt Bangalore, M.G. Road, Bangalore - 560008, India

Dates:                    Nov 9-10, 2013

Timings:                8:30 AM to 5:30 PM

 As soon as I remember the boot camp, first thing It reminds me is our trainer Satisha’s words

“People are inherently GOOD, Talk to them”

He is kind of a trainer who sticks to things he committed, excellent command on agile methodologies, well disciplined, Listens to all questions and answers to them patiently, respects other’s time, good organizer (the way he organized whole scrum workshop was like a mini Scrum project which delivered many delighters to the CSM aspirants) and an Excellent presenter (Trust me, in a batch of 30 CSM aspirants in this workshop, he made everybody to be part of one or other discussion while explaining about SCRUM). It’s been more than a month I completed this workshop and certification but still I feel his effect on my daily discussions. I think my English knowledge is not sufficient to convert my experience in to words here, thus will end about Satisha with one quote

"The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires." 
- William Arthur Ward

He inspired me and some of my friends in the workshop to the extent that we have taken process very seriously as a career option. You might see me as a Trainer/Coach in future…

Satisha, would like to use this platform to thank you for everything you did in CSM workshop. Thanks a lot…
