What our students are saying

5 Star Rating (5/5)

There's a lot of positives about the course, for example, the instructor asked us to put our questions in the parking lot, which many of us did. The instructor, however, also stopped during the course of his lesson to address our questions on the fly and taking as much time as was needed to aid in our comprehension of the material.

I enjoyed the hands-on Team activities. I was able to brainstorm with fellow employees that I don't work with on a daily basis to complete each exercise.

I felt the course was interactive, and that the exercises or breakouts matched the content well. I appreciate that you offer a 15 min session with the instructor pre-exam, and the study session. Lastly, I appreciated that the course was not one-way and encouraged discussion where I got to interact with other colleagues across the globe to brainstorm and learn from different folks.

I enjoyed the focus on real world practice aspects of DA that were discussed.

Very informative, Structured. A lot of learning in course facilitation and co-creation. Promotion of understanding of how to apply DA on improvement. The usefulness of discussions by experienced coaches, and Continuous learning through the community.

I enjoyed that the 2 days were all group activities. It allowed me to apply the knowledge I learned from the reading material and also learn in a collaborative manner from the other students. explained how DA complements and enhances, which was refreshing."

It was nice to have two instructors to add context. Both were excellent.

Both instructors Rod and Paul were extremely experienced and well versed in applying and teaching the concepts of DA. They shared lot of stories and real world examples to demonstrate how the theoretical concepts were successfully validated to reinforce the gained knowledge of an avid learner like myself. So I would like to take this opportunity to thank them for their facilitation during the entire course which made the learning journey really smooth.

I love the activities, they really help me to understand the concepts.

I thought the class was well done. I enjoyed the discussions and feel I have what I need to study and pass the exam.

Thank you! Blaine is very knowledgeable. The course was very organized, the Learning Management System is easy to use, and I liked the videos and teaching tools!

I feel that this course makes Agile extremely approachable, even for those with no prior Agile knowledge.

Great course! It is facilitated by a resourceful instructor. She encouraged team collaboration and broke complex topics into relatable scenarios and examples.

Interactive with exercises that focus on application of the course material. Breaks are available often.

The miro board was fun and intuitive to use. It was really helpful as well as the group exercises. The WoW book is a bit dry to read, so this class has really helped my understanding.

Great activities and instruction!

I liked that the teaching focused on making the learning applicable to the real world!

I found the course structure to be very well organized. The content was presented in a way that was relatively straightforward, even if there was a lot to consume at once. The exercises were imperative to understand and applying the skills, which I thought was a great addition to this course. While this entire course was virtual, I don't feel that I missed anything from an in-person equivalent. I look forward to future training courses with Tactec.

CIO

Born 1965, San Antonio, Texas and lives in Dallas, Tx.
Mr. James, Ronald, Maverick holds a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at The University of Texas, San Antonio.

Mr. Maverick or JR as many call him is a “slick” but warm and friendly character in our upcoming book on the DevOps Mindset. Mr. Maverick cares about his IT team very much and could charm the socks off a Texas Longhorn. JR is liked by many in his organization; however, he is not as well trusted by the Overlords as he used to be. Mr. Maverick has a group of loyal staff, including Mr. Barker a bit of an opposite to JR. Of course, Mr. Barker would never call him JR; he would only call him Mr. Maverick because well, Mr. Maverick is his boss. Mr. Maverick has held many IT positions in the past, including starting as a Sales Professional for HP and IBM mini and mainframe computers. Over the years he has risen through the ranks to hold this senior position by delivering using high-paid consultants and Big name firms. He also received his promotion from outsourcing to a foreign country where he was able to reduce his IT spend significantly. Recently he has discovered (actually this was made painfully aware to him by the Overlords) that both the Offshore roadmap and use of external consultants was not giving him the value and velocity for his IT department, and he was probably paying more than he bargained for

So, after hearing a talk at a DevOps event by the Agents of Chaos, JR decided to enlist them to help with their digital transformation roadmap and help improve the value, focus and velocity of his department. However, MR. Maverick has a few ideas about agile and DevOps, something he has heard about for a while and read in various CIO magazines; he thinks of these as Marketing terms and something that can be bought. While Mr. Maverick has held on for many years to traditional IT ways of working he has come to the end of his tenure if he doesn’t do something fast and get DevOps working quickly as he has promised to the Overlords providing him with a little more rope to get the transformation completed more quickly as they view his IT department ageing, procrastinators who are not able to keep up with business demands. JR says in his mind, “I will get it done, they don’t call me Maverick for nothing!“
