“Lee Henson is an amazing trainer. During the 2 day training session I took for CSM, we were involved in hands on work. We had variety of professionals in the class. Some were beginners. It did not matter much he found a way to teach us all. His common sense approach, explanations and teaching/coaching methods are just superb. He was very helpful, actually one of the guys were having a problem with his hotel, Lee volunteered to help him out any way he can. I would recommend Lee’s classes to anyone.” April 2, 2012

“Lee's classes are interesting, fun and most importantly well presented. He is an inspiring trainer with a wealth of information from past experiences with both private companies and government institutions. He made the application of the scrum framework clear while emphasizing the team work and human aspect which is at the heart of a successful project! I highly recommend Lee for both coaching and training and hope that I can attend further classes with him soon.” February 2, 2011

"We’re slowly implementing several of the concepts we learned in CSM training. The adoption of and the excitement behind the new t-shirt sizing of stories is refreshing! The web team took a shot at it last week and what started out with a few of the team members sizing the stories (we started before “official” working hours), ended up with the whole team engaged! We’re slowly but surely coaching towards the PO/BA/FA/TA relationship and the ultimate goal is to have the full model presented and in place soon. Thank you again, so much, for this experience. We have excitement about the new things we’re going to achieve and that excitement is definitely contagious!" August 23, 2011

He kept the ENTIRE class engaged throughout the training, there were no "glazed over looks" in this class. This certification was definitely worth the time and effort.

“I took Certified Scrum Master training from Lee. I came into the class an Agile skeptic. I had seen some projects fail hard who had used "Agile" of course, they had not used it correctly. Lee made it fun, real and interesting. He has made an Agile believer out of me! He has also prepared me, and others at my company prepared to start the process of transitioning to Agile. Thanks Lee.” June 22, 2012

“Lee Henson is by far the most amazing trainer I've ever had the pleasure to learn from. During the 2 day training session not a single soul in that class nodded off. We were involved in hands on work and laughing almost the entire time yet learning everything we needed to know. Lee managed to teach a classroom of adults from no project experience to well seasoned PM's the same strategies and the differences between the CSM and the CSPO role. I would like to state that if you're a student looking for the best of the best to teach you what you need to know and be successful in a working Agile environment, Lee is your guy. For those that are wanting the best of the best to run a high level project and ignite your team with energy and get the job done right, well Lee is your guy!” January 11, 2012

“Lee recently taught my ScrumMaster Certification class. Firstly, he is by far and away the best instructor in any class in any topic that I have had. My class held my attention the entire two days, the excercises were relevant, the interaction between the class and Lee was great and Lee knowledge is unsurpassed. Secondly and most importantly, Lee remained after class to work with me on some specific questions that I had regarding my own project and company environment, which was so valuable to me. I highly recommend Lee.” April 19, 2011

“I took a ScrumMaster Workshop from Lee in January, 2011. Lee not only has thorough knowledge of Scrum, he also has very impressive experience applying the methodology at well-known companies. This lets him illustrate the material with tons of real-world examples. His enthusiasm for the subject and concern for our learning ensured that we stayed focused and engaged. The many group exercises kept the class from becoming boring. Since Scrum is about teamwork, the exercises stress some key elements of teamwork and decision making, while reinforcing the material. With Lee, you are getting an expert consultant who is also an excellent trainer.” February 3, 2011

Gregory Sharp

"Lee is an excellent coach/trainer. I took his CSM class and was so impressed that I had my company bring him in-house for a class. While we had been doing Agile for 7 years, he taught us quite a few new practices. The training has transformed the team and revitalized our commitment to Agile. He was very personable, knowledgeable and willing to help. I would definitely recommend the class to anyone, beginner or expert, using Agile methodologies." July 20, 2011

“It was a pleasure to be trained by Lee Henson on SCRUM MASTER WORKSHOP. He did not only PROVE that he is an expert in the subject matter, but he also PROVED that he is one of the BEST in the industry.

“I recently had the pleasure of meeting Lee and taking his Certified Scrum Master training in Anaheim. I was blown away by his knowledge and training ability. He kept the entire class engaged throughout the training and provided easy to follow instructions. His years of experience allowed him to pepper his instruction with numerous real-world (and entertaining) examples. While I had a good handle on Agile Scrum prior to the training, I am glad to have had the opportunity to gain my official certification with Lee's help and guidance. It was definitely worth the time, expense and effort. I would gladly recommend Lee to any individual or company wanting to gain an better understanding of Agile and Scrum.” April 5, 2011

Jon Grover

“Before I attended Lee’s training, the development team I work with claimed to use Agile, but were not executing some key practices to make Agile effective. As the product manager, I saw that the development team was not producing maximum results, but felt like I didn’t have the right tools to help fix the process. After the 2 day training, I came back to my company excited to implement the things I had learned to improve the development process. I made a list of 20 things that I felt needed to be changed in my company in order for us to see the results Lee talked about in his training. After 2 months, I have implemented almost half of the items on my list, and have seen amazing results. Our development team feels that they have more input on our development projects. They don’t feel so overloaded with tasks. The business side of the company feels that development is giving better estimates, and being more transparent. Everyone is happier with the development process, and I’m happier with my job. As a young professional I think a lot about where I want my career to take me. Reaching a pay grade or getting to the C-level was never something that motivated me. After Lee’s trainieffng and seeing the affect I have been able to have on my team by implementing Agile, it has motivated me to master it. If I can help teams work more effectively together and produce better products I will consider my career a success. It is exciting to be able to enable people and teams to work more productively. Thanks Lee!” August 4, 2010

“I have attended the SCRUM master training offered by Lee, and would say it's an experience hard to match. The class is very interesting, practical, and is packed with the real wold examples. I believe that he has done an incredible job in making us understand the benefits of agile management and the approach to making a successful transition from traditional management. The experience I had in his class is very difficult to express in words, you just need to experience it. If you go with an open mind to learn agile management into his class, you will be transformed.” June 23, 2012

“I will have to give Lee two thumbs up! He is not only knowledgable of the Agile methodology but can teach others in a fun and entertaining manner. I have learned a lot from Lee and I would recommend him for Training or Consulting to any company out there. Thanks Lee!” October 22, 2008
