Clients Feedback:

"I had the privilege of taking the SAFe Leadership course from Samer. I not only appreciated his knowledge but also his experience and sharing how the principles and concepts are played out in real life scenarios. His time and patience to answer our questions and help us learn the principles was greatly appreciated."

"I had the pleasure of receiving Scrum and Leading SAFe training from Samer. He provided great insight into these diverse agile practices with real life examples. It was instrumental in my understanding of SAFe.

"I recently had the chance to take the "Leading SAFe 5.0" virtual training session with Samer. He really went out of his way to take on my endless questions on SAFe and be able to present you the necessary and valuable information upfront. It was a great experience, and great knowledge to have as you be part of the many Agile transformations that are happening across all industries. Thank you Samer!"

"I recently had the chance to take the "Leading SAFe 5.0" virtual training session with Samer. He was not only a great teacher but he also always provided very good explanations for all the questions we had. He definitely has a relevant experience with Agile. I recommend him without a doubt !"

"I would like to enthusiastically endorse Samer for SAFe training and Certification. I had the pleasure of attending the SAFe Scum Master Certification Ver 5 training and certification course conducted by Samer in January 2020 in Toronto. He has an intense passion for Scrum supported by a lot of valuable, hands on Scrum experience which was evident to all who attended the session. Samer made the session interactive with multiple workshops and shared the best practice in the Agile world which helped me a lot in my professional work." I highly recommend Samer for SAFe Scrum Master training in any organisation."

"Individual teams in our BU have transitioned to agile, and the proposal of scaling it was something we wanted to try. Samer was an excellent teacher, and obviously has a deep understanding of the SAFe process and very clearly communicated the material to us in a way applicable to our individual situations."

"When we first adopted SAFe, we had a less than stellar "SAFe for Teams" training provided by a different company. The difference in quality between that company and what Samer provided was night and day: if you need some SAFe certifications, pick Samer Hawwa to teach you."

"Samer is one of the best trainer that I never had. I learned a lot of things and his experience help me a lot !"

"Great coach, Samer help me to pass the leading SAFe. A pragmatic approach, focus on people with a lot of real life example, this is the key for Samer. Samer can definitively help on your Agile transformation."

"I had the pleasure to work with Samer on my Agile projects. He is an inspiring coach who takes the time to understand the needs of stakeholders and finds the best examples to explain complex concepts. Samer was also my trainer for the Leading SAFe course. Following that session, many of us got certified; thanks to him. I would strongly recommend Samer to any company transitioning to Agility or SAFe and looking for an experienced Agile coach."

"Samer was excellent at facilitating thoughtful conversation and encouraging attendees to dig deeper into their current understanding and goals. It was very apparent why he is a successful Agile coach and I appreciated his experience and perspective when working through each unit."
