FemOdel Photography - 5-star TrustPilot review

“Thank you Glenn. Thank you Tim. And thank you Darren. The Implementing SAFe (5.1) course was well delivered. The content was packed over the four-day period, and it was intensive. That said, it was well paced and there was sufficient reflection time to assimilate the content. Class collaboration was very good and we all got to network very well.”
