Hi,
I’m Dave Keenan. My agile journey kicked off about 12 years ago, a bit after it first hit the scene. Right from the start, I was hooked by how it promised to change our work ways for the better.
What really got to me was its clear logic, its no-nonsense simplicity, and its bold idea of putting people first — a refreshing change from the old view of workers as just parts of a machine.
Over time, I’ve played several roles: project manager, Scrum Master, product owner, and now, an agile coach leading the charge. I’ve introduced agile practices to giants like Amazon and Accenture, all while sharpening my grasp on what agile really means.
My drive is all about promoting approaches that center on humans, creating work environments that are not just more collaborative but fundamentally better. With the lessons I’ve learned and the insights I’ve gained, I’m here to guide teams to discover their highest capabilities in the agile domain.

Even if I already have the PSM 1 certification since 10 years now, the reality of my consultant job is that I'm not always have the chance to work in an Agile context. So I have attend this course as a refresh opportunity. And in this context, the content of this course was perfect for me.
By Rodney Quissak on 11/13/2023
Excellent training! Truly... I´ve taken several courses on this subject and this one is the most direct to the point, with a comprehensive number of files to support my studies, as I am preparing for the PSM I certification. Thanks a lot!!
By Digant Vora on 6/6/2023
This is an excellent course, exceptionally made easy to understand. A genius is a person who can take any topic and make it simple to understand and this course is an example of just that. Thank you to all the creators, who worked on it.
By Moipone Lekgothwane on 2/4/2023
This was a great refresher course for me as a Scrum Master. I like the fact that the course is aligned to the latest scrum guide. What stood out the most for me was the emphasis on the value for each scrum ceremony, scrum roles and artifacts. The history of Agile and Scrum was also great. I would highly recommend to anyone who has a keen interest on Agile or Scrum. Great course and will always refer to the material as a guide on my day to day execution of activities as a Scrum Master. Great course.
By Sheila Alejandra Pesce La Rosa on 7/29/2022
I really enjoyed this course. Even if I had taken already the CSM certification, it is a great reminder on key concepts and what is worth to invest the time on, to ensure we deliver with quality, rather than quantity. Thank you!

This course covers a lot of ground and presents clear picture on the fundamentals of the Scrum framework. I would also like to see how negative/adverse conditions are handled by the scrum team with one or two examples. for e.g. in a sprint if majority of the backlog items are not completed how is it handled, if the CEO asks to add a new item, how will it impact the sprint etc. These are real world scenarios.
By Margarita Urrely on 8/16/2021
Beyond my expectations. This course explained Scrum methodology and a perfect companion to reading the Scrum Guide. I'm studying to take the PSU I Scrum with UX cert (wish me luck)and this course was the perfect introduction. Bravo!
By Melanie LeRette on 5/4/2021
Love that I could complete it at my own pace, pause to take notes, and replay portions I needed to hear again. I also like the quizzes to ensure understanding. Appreciate the email following course completion from the instructor offering to address questions.
