What our customers are saying
Tom was really informative, had plenty of real life examples. Some where a little harder to follow at times, or apply back to the logic but after further questioning/explanation it would link back eventually, especially some of the gardening analogies.
Katie Bradley
Tom was a great trainer and was helpful in explaining areas where my knowledge was not so good. My only piece of feedback would be that in some of the examples given, it was hard to relate them back to what we where discussing at that time. Maybe if during these examples, if this could be linked back to the model being discussed and how this fits with the agile BA role.
Lisa Mushrow
Tom is superior...he deliver the information very clear using both explanation and practices techniques which ensure best understanding of such course
