Participants Speak
“…Conscires’ “pay it forward” philosophy is as inspirational as Bachan Anand. Thanks so much!”—Mary T. M.
“Bachan and his team delivered an excellent day-long seminar in the true Agile/Scrum fashion. For someone like myself who had only brief academic exposure to Agile, I left the seminar at the end of the day with a solid understanding, ready to discuss it, debate it, and apply it. Bachan and his team’s approach forced interaction between all participants. None of the activities were frivilious or contrived – they drove home very simple points and concepts of Agile/Scrum. I would highly recommend this seminar to anyone who was new to Agile or needed a refresher.”—Daniel G.
The vision behind the Pay it Forward Program is that money should not be a barrier for learning about Agile and Scrum. Each class has an early bird price ($295), a list price ($350), and a suggested donation ($50). If any of these prices are still too high, then there is the “Pay it Forward/ Donation Only” option: pay what you can afford! This option would enable many who could otherwise have not attended this class, to enroll and benefit from it.
