Daniel Hirschlein , says... “I attended Bachan\'s Agile/Scrum Project Management Workshop. Bachan is very knowledgeable about Agile Project Management and did a great job at explaining the details of Scrum. Bachan combines theory and practical application using a variety of techniques during the workshop to such as individual and group activities, brainstorming, and instructor-led training. I highly recommend Bachan\'s Workshop for anyone in the IT Project
Susan Kuehn , says... ““Before attending the seminar I thought I understood Scrum but I was wrong. Bachan took us thru the methodology and more important took a deep dive into the roles and responsibilities involved with Scrum. This truly was valuable for me as I had a very vague understanding of the Scrum Masters and Product Owners true roles. Excellent experience I highly recommend attending to anyone who is considering Agile and Scrum for their busin
