Robin Burgering –
Despite initial skepticism, I am enthusiastic about this OBEYA training. I think that (in theory) it can certainly be of added value for myself and the organization in which I work and in which I am allowed to steer. I am, however, still apprehensive about the toughness of existing structures, or rather the lack thereof. However, the podcast by Ahold’s tech man gave a nice insight into this.
All in all a useful training that I hope will stick with me and therefore also in the organization.
Thanks!
Jeffrey van Hirtum –
It was very nice to follow an e-learning where theory and practice merged so well. Tim’s clear explanation was interspersed with practical questions from your environment and assignments where you had to get started with the theory immediately, very nice!
Désirée Tieben-Busse –
I found this e-learning for fundamentals to be a great way to learn the basics. Very nice clear explanation in the videos. Nice combination of screen and book. I’m really looking forward to getting started with this, although I’m still looking for the best way to connect with all our kanban boards and scrum boards. But that’s okay!
Miranda Sentjes –
Good package, it is immediately usable. I liked the videos best. Is also the laziest way of receiving information. Especially with everyone’s busy schedules. The mix of videos, reading a book, answering questions, reading e-learning things is good. The e-learning is well priced.
