    Info was useful but not much beyond what is attainable online. The activities with partners didn’t seem to add value in my opinion. To be fair, it was only a 2 hour class.

    Instructor was Eve. Great summary of all these terms - and organized in a historical narrative that makes sense. Great examples from the real world. And good practice session of a live scrum session. Overall good pacing of the class.
