    User Stories For Agile Scrum: Product Owner And Business Analysis

    Excellent Course

    Fast, effcient, or effective tool

    4.0

    This course was relatable, fast, very efficient and to the point. It had valid points which makes it an effective tool in my opinion. It’s only downfall that I can see is that it moves slowly, so performance needs improving and the speaker voice changing from a man with a very, very southern drawl of an accent, to a man with a very, very not southern accent (British I believe). Definitely threw a wrench in things because it took me a minute to figure out that it just was how the course was set up. Other than that piece, it was pretty amazing. It took me less than 3 hours (work mandated ones are longer) and I got the same information. So, great job! Thanks!
