I strongly recommend Gil to any group looking to transition from trying to "act" Agile to actually embracing and becoming Agile in mindset. We are so glad we flew in people from all over the world to attend the training — definitely worth it 10x over.

Gil did a fantastic job teaching "Pragmatic Scrum". Many participants commented on how much better it was than training which they had received previously, both in substance and in the way Gil delivered it. They came away energized and enthusiastic about applying their learning.

Gil’s workshops were engaging and thought-provoking, and the follow-on coaching sessions provided teams with thoughtful, pragmatic advice that they could begin acting on immediately. This feels like a turning point for us on our journey to being Agile.

We were undergoing explosive growth... Gil's ability to discuss the theoretical aspects of agile, combined with practical recommendations on making it all work in practice, and a very deep technical knowledge of software development, is what we needed.

Gil helped us understand why we needed a change and what values, principles, and models aligned to our strategy. He's instilled an Agile mindset in our team, which functions a lot better now, is more engaged, and executes much more effectively.

I've learned from Gil in a group setting with my company, offsite with groups from other companies and one on one. My working understanding of Agile was transformed into an eye opening new approach to my work and my everyday life.
