WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

"Very authentic facilitation! It was clear right away that Romaric is very knowledgeable in this topic AND he loves what he is doing. He did an amazing job to teach us this sometimes rather complex topic in a very engaging way. I am extremely glad to have had Romaric as our instructor & I cannot recommend him enough. "

"Romaric is passionate about the subject and explains the concepts dynamically. There was a great diversity of formats (theoretical course, exercise, group discussion, game). He's also paid attention to our expectations so that we can take the maximum from this training and understand how the method can fit into the contexts of our organisation. Thanks a lot to Romaric! "

"Romaric Chardonneau was a great instructor and really well versed on the Scrum framework. As someone who already did 3 other agile trainings I was still able to learn new things and am grateful to have had him train us on the framework"
