Was a great course by Evelyn, which I can highly recommend if you want to take your P.O. skills to the next level.

Thank you Evelyn for a great class! I was worried about taking an on-line class instead of attending in person, but this worked out so much better for me.  I got to work this week without much interruption, so it was a win-win for me and my management. The sessions were informative and fast moving, so there was never a chance to get bored.

I truly enjoyed the great learning experience!

Thank you Evelyn Tian for the great experience and all the shared knowledge. It has been a pleasure working with you, Evelyn on the program! I am proud to become Advanced Certified Product Owner by Scrum Alliance!
