I just wanted to thank you for an excellent session. I felt I got a lot out of the class and was able to relate to the material. I hope you enjoyed teaching the Agile PM course as much as I did, participating.
Excellent instructor and interesting methodology.
Kevin has spoken at various IBM events (conference, teleconference, workshop, etc.) and I believe that he would be a great speaker and educator at professional conferences or classes. He is well prepared and well spoken. His writing ability is outstanding. Kevin has always maintained a can do attitude with a responsiveness that is sometimes hard to find in today's busy world.
From my perspective, when I engage Kevin, I know I'm going to get a professional contribution, clear and frequent communications, and a quality product. [...] I have found Kevin in numerous interactions to be a reliable, productive person who meets his commitments, leads by example and adds value every time we work together.
Did a nice job. Keep it up. The method used was splendid.
Kevin is extremely skilled professional with incredible industry knowledge. He has spoken at several of my events and always scores very high on attendee evaluations.
I applaud your efforts to educate the 'traditional project manager' in Agile techniques. I hope that you are very effective in doing so.
Many thanks again for an amazing class and amazing finish to the semester. It was wonderful to have such a great speaker and communicator in the class. I enjoyed the interaction in this talk.
Kevin has volunteered and delivered excellent presentations to our IT Project Management community. I look forward to future opportunities to work together at PMI-Southern Ontario Chapter : Greater Toronto Information Systems Local Interest Group in Toronto.
I applaud your work and your commitment to bringing sanity to the often insane world of project management. History has shown that PMs who act as 'servant leaders' often succeed where others fail. The Agile principles and practices provide a good framework for encouraging that mindset for the PM and the team members. Keep up the good work!
He's a best selling author and project management guru of gurus.
Kevin's breadth of knowledge and experience make him a valued speaker for any event focused on his area of expertise. If you need an experienced, proven and expert guide to project management, turn to Kevin. He will deliver exactly what you want and more - he went the extra mile with my group and we experienced tremendous results.
Agile is all the buzz, and your discussion was packed with good information. Well done!
I met Kevin as a speaker and author at a Golden Key symposium in Toronto. Later on, he presented a masterful overview of software development methodologies to my undergrad computer science class. Kevin is an excellent speaker and somebody who knows to the last details what he is talking about. Excellent communicator in all circumstances, in face to face, with a large audience or in writing within his books. I am warmly recommending Kevin.
I have asked Kevin to speak at various events and conferences over the years. His ability to be relevant, engaging and knowledgeable result in reviews that are glowing and request repeat sessions. Kevin is smart, funny and on the mark.
Kevin is a seasoned and professional consulting / services engagement manager and executive project manager. He is effective at managing client relationships and operates at a senior level within the IT services industry.
Perfect session, working in a agile project myself I can confirm the warning observations. Thanks for some new mitigation strategies.
We did a brief survey for all attendees at the 3-day agile course you did in August. [...] Against ALL of the questions, 93%-100% of the responses to every question were 'STRONGLY AGREE'. [...] In summary, the 3-day training was greatly-appreciated, well-received and full-of-value.
Kevin (the instructor) is very knowledgeable and experienced in agile theory and practice. he is very instructive and facilitory in the knowledge transfer by levering his expertise, insights and personal experiences. Fantastic teacher - practical and inspirational !
Thank you! Excellent material, overview, exercises and length of session. It provided the needed details for management to support agile methods in the organizations.
