consultant testimonials
Kevin knows his stuff.
Great anecdotes and examples.
I have had the pleasure of inviting Kevin to speak at a conference I hosted, and of having him be part of a panel that I moderated. I will certainly invite him again. He is an excellent speaker - articulate, considerate, well-prepared, with excellent content. And generally a great guy to work with.
One of the world's leading experts on Project Management. He's a best selling author and project management guru of gurus.
Your enthusiasm is contagious, and your style very lively and no-nonsense. You speak with great credibility, especially as you back what you say with colourful descriptions of your own rich project experience. Outstanding!
Thank you for the great presentation. I've got a lot out of it. I'm looking forward to your next session!
We had some very positive response on your presentation. In our Virtual PMP study group last night someone mentioned how valuable the info was. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the insightful talk on 'Aligning Agile Management Methods with Corporate Governance Models --- CRM & IPD in IBM' to the IBM Bay Area Release Management Community earlier this afternoon. It was a very well-organized and compact talk. Many aspects stood out: how you built-up the Standard Corporate Governance Model, and explained how Agile management aligns with it; the visual overlay of the IBM IPD (and CRM) processes on this alignment; how you vividly brought out the common framework inherent in governance models, while helping the audience relate it to IBM models such as IPD and CRM; and your correlating EVM and Agile metrics, which gives a flavor for what metrics practising project managers would need to track. I hope you enjoyed presenting and discussing, as much as we enjoyed listening and participating.
I convey thanks on behalf of the entire team on the account for your amazing session on Agile Project Management. I have received tremendous feedback from the customers regarding your session and the way you clarified doubts and explained the underlying facets of Agile PM.
Kevin has made significant contribution to the field of project management, especially in Canada, through his consulting, training, writing, speaking, and advocacy activities. He consults to Canada's largest organizations, has provided project management training to thousands of students, written and published books and articles on project management, spoken to thousands of people at meetings and conferences. He is tireless in his efforts to spread the knowledge and skills for managing projects as broadly as possible -- to businesses, universities, professional organizations, and the general public. As one of the co-founders and now president of PMAC he continues to build awareness of project management and to encourage its development and evolution. I have known Kevin for a number of years, working with him on the board of PMAC, and also providing Agile project management training. I find him to be ethical, intelligent, straightforward, hardworking, efficient, strategic-thinking, a good communicator and educator. In short, I enjoy working with him.
Kevin is very professional and detailed oriented. He is well respected as an advisor by his colleagues and his customers.
Kevin brings a fresh positive energy to a subject which he is passionate about. His teaching style uses many anecdotal examples to deliver his point. I am about to embark upon an Agile project and this course has equipped me to take it on with confidence. I highly recommend Kevin and the Agile course he teaches.
The instructor had a great knowledge of agile. He made the course fun despite the tight schedule.
I have had the pleasure of working with Kevin on a number of occasions and have found him to be exceptional in many ways - in speaking to executives and alternatively to technical people, in leading projects, and in being a subject matter support for projects. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Kevin.
Thanks again for the inside look at Agile project management. You're enthusiasm for the subject is evident and makes a significant difference when teaching others. I found your course to be more practical (for 'real world' projects) than the typical project management course, and your case studies and anecdotes help to reinforce Agile's application. I see several techniques that would benefit current and future Farrow projects.
Kevin was really knowledgeable in explaining the points with his stories. I would recommend this course to my peers.
Thanks for the presentation today. It was a pleasure listening to a 'real world' experienced agile practitioner. It was very gratifying to hear you touch on many of the challenges that one faces while dealing with 'planning'. I work in the Clinical informatics area and have been a practitioner of Agile methodology for about 5+ years although without any formal training (and that includes project management training). There is a lot of common sense and gut instincts involved. I find this a nice fit for many of our research projects where we are dealing with a lot of 'unknowns'. I would be very much interested in your future presentations / workshops geared towards in-depth exploration of specific areas (as you did today).
I was in attendance at your seminar yesterday. It was very informative and picked up on different approaches I can use when implementing agile project management into MS Project.
A very knowledgeable instructor. Kevin used many real-world examples during the course which made it both practical and interesting. He is a great presenter and has a lot of experience in the field.
Kevin Aguanno demonstrated leadership in the area of Agile software development. He was authoritative and did captivate the attention of the room. He also stated that Agile methodology's could be applied to hardware as well. That generated great interest and showed thought leadership in this arena.
