CONSCIRES AGILE PRACTICES

Why ‘Pay it Forward’ training?

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.

Where: Best Western Plus Posada Royale, 1775 Madera Blvd. Simi Valley, CA 93065

Participants Speak

“…You’ll love the all inclusive ‘Pay it forward’ training model.”—Steven P.

“I attended a class on Agile that Lisa taught recently. She provided an incredible learning environment, using Agile tools throughout so that the concepts were not only presented in a didactic form but experienced as well. Never boring, Lisa is light-hearted and passionate about her work. She understands how to teach a class full of people with varying levels of knowledge in such a way that all participants were able to learn something new. I highly recommend Lisa as an instructor/presenter and would not hesitate to take another class from her.”—Pamela H.
