Mishkin and his team kept the training relevant and gave me tools and skills that I can apply in my day-to-day activities. The hands-on learning, team sharing, and discussions helped to clarify the material so that it was clear and will ensure that the knowledge is retained based on his teaching methods. Highly recommend this course and any training offered by Mishkin @ Berteig Consulting and his team.

Every Berteig training session I've attended have all been phenomenal so I had high expectations. David Vicentin delivered! The KMP I course provided an in-depth introduction of Kanban and ensured every attendee had applicable practices to implement with our teams, and practical strategies to address common concerns or pushback from those involved. I highly recommend this course and David Vicentin as an instructor.

I recently took a Certified Scrum Product Owner course, which was an incredibly valuable experience. The instructor (Mishkin Berteig) was knowledgeable and engaging, and the course material was well-organized and easy to follow. The hands-on exercises and real-world examples helped me to better understand the principles of Scrum and how to apply them in my work. I recommend this course to anyone looking to improve product ownership and Agile development skills.
