VJ’s knowledge of the Scaled Agile Framework helped to reinforce my existing knowledge about agile methodologies and the benefits that agile can bring to an organisation. The SAFe Certified Scrum Master course highlighted the importance of Scrum and how impactful it can be when introduced to a company or team. This knowledge – coupled with VJ’s detailed examples and explanations – made the course really enjoyable and engaging. Having a smaller class meant that we could engage more freely with one another and have rigorous discussions whilst exploring the course material, and the real-world experience that VJ was able to provide to his students during these discussions was invaluable. Having an incredible teacher such as VJ made the course extremely beneficial and enlightening to me, and it is refreshing to know that there are coaches like him out there who encourage our continuous learning and growth in the ever-evolving world of agile.

I attended the SAFe Agilist class hosted by Lead Agile Solutions head trainer Vijayan, and I was really hugely impressed by his experience in Agile methodologies. Vijayan has a deep understanding of SAFe implementations and importantly is able to articulate this in an appealing and understandable way. Everyone talks Agile, but he was able to correlate each concept in Agile to real-world scenarios. He was able to explain how to scale the concept to larger programs both clearly and concisely. His book ‘Unlocking the Science Behind Agile’ is additionally a great read for those wishing to get even further perspective of some of the principles with really drive Agile. Thanks for helping with the course and also always spreading positivity around.

The training provided by Lead Agile Solutions is excellent. Head trainer Vijay’s depth of Agile knowledge is truly commendable as he relates clear examples of current-day situations. Vijay also presents relevant text from various books (additionally providing authors names) for further student study well after the course has finished. Overall, an excellent and beneficial training program that I recommend for people who want to drastically increase and improve their Agile knowledge and skills.

It has been a pleasure to attend Vijayan’s SAFe training course. I have very little agile knowledge before attending his class. The first hour, before going into the course material, he made all of us to understand everything about agile and its evolution. That has helped me to personalise the core concepts, and after that, it was a smooth ride for the next two days. I’ve attended many training courses, but he has a specific style that has not only made me understand the concepts, but it also helped me to remember and write the exam straight after the class and pass with a high score. I have no hesitation in recommending Vijayan as your trainer, especially if you are a beginner in the Agile world.

Vijayan made the training session very interactive and easy to understand. Honestly, I didn’t feel like spending two whole days in the class listening to him. His articulation of the subject material was clear, concise, and to the point. He used real-world examples to help exemplify his points which added real value to the lessons. Everything that I needed or wanted was made available to me without worry. I highly recommend Vijayan as your instructor, if you are thinking to learn about Scaled Agile Framework. Only a few know how to deliver complicated information directly to the audience, I believe Vijayan have that skill.

Vijayan displayed a deep and complete understanding of the Agile philosophy and was able to articulate this in a very easy to understand manner. To put it more bluntly, what he taught, what he said, what he conveyed, it all made sense, and because of this, was extremely engaging. I have attended many courses. However, Vijayan is the first instructor I have ever encountered who did not need to reference the source material book as it was clear all of this information was well versed in his mind. It is amazingly refreshing to be taught by someone who genuinely knows what they are talking about and that someone is Vijayan.
