I purchased the "Introduction to Scrum Workshop" facilitation guide template. It consists of a solid framework and flow to conduct a Scrum intro workshop for new/existing Scrum teams. I have been using it regularly in my workplace and highly recommend it to everyone.
The seven day course took me back to the fundamentals of Scrum and reminded me of the precepts to actually plug-in and apply. It also helped me keep a daily journal of sorts about what approaches to take and what does and what does not scale according to company culture. So often you get a certification and you run several sprints and you want to kick your feet up. With this training I'm reminded that Shu Ha Ri (Learn, Do, Be) and Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) are a journey and not a destination. So it is with Scrum the biggest room in the world is room for improvement. The notes I took and thoughts that we sparked by taking this course will serve me and help me serve others on the Scrum path.
I was looking to expand my retros beyond the typical “Keep/Add/Remove”. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the [Retrospective Poker] cards as well as the content. I’m excited for the different types of retros that I can use – sometimes to mix it up and other times to uncover root causes. I highly recommend these cards if you are ready to take your retros to the next level of efficiency and exploration.
Excellent resource to make your retrospectives more engaging and impactfull. Lots of great ideas!
What a helpful deck for retrospective meetings, for sure a must to have for the scrum masters toolbox. Easy to understand and help team members to not get bored with all formats, thanks for making it!!!
These retro poker card are amazing! So many nice games to play with an easy to read explanation. Great idea!
An excellent approach for engaging teams during retrospective sessions and eliminate thoughtless bickering from happening.
Enjoyable and informative. I was concerned that I would be lost due to being a novice at retrospective facilitation, but Daria kept the workshop accessible.
Extremely enriching experience! Daria does an excellent job empowering individuals to run effective retrospectives. I learnt a lot from the workshop - starting from the values of SCRUM and how they apply to retrospectives, to the different formats, tools and techniques we could use in various situations. My favourite activity was at the very end. We took all the knowledge acquired through the day and applied it on the very real challenges each of us was trying to address.
Whether you are a new Scrum Master or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend Daria's Mastering Retrospectives Workshop to give you the tools and knowledge you need to take your retrospectives to the next level! Most importantly, learn how to tie your retrospectives back to the Scrum values of Focus, Openness, Respect, Commitment and Courage to truly engage your team and drive a continuous improvement mindset. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to participate in this amazing workshop and now have a deeper understanding of the purpose of retrospectives and tools to make my next one awesome! Thanks Daria!
Daria's way of organizing Retrospective workshop is unique and interesting. Based on scrum values, attendees are reminded about the dos and donts of retrospective activities and navigating team's dynamics. The workshop provides retro ideas but more importantly you get to discuss and learn from your group. I really enjoyed this workshop and I strongly suggest it for those who have been a scrum master for a few years (like me); and are looking for a refresher of team building principles and new ideas for retrospectives.
I have to admit, before this workshop I was thinking that retrospectives are very important, but after attending the workshop I realized that retrospectives built on scrum values makes it more important than ever. Now even if you think that you know scrum values and your retrospectives give your team the desired outcome, then you’ll be pleasantly surprised how much is there to learn and do to make it way better than you thought it could be. More importantly, you leave the workshop with tons of practical takeaways. Thank you Daria for this unique workshop.
A very interactive workshop, clearly demonstrating the intricacies in the role of a scrum master and ways of meeting the team's challenges through Sprint Retrospection
Great trainer, well prepared. Her way of facilitating a full day workshop remote was very interactive and goal oriented. I can really take a lot of value out of it! Love the kind of "hands on"- help! Thank you Daria!
Great Customer experience from A-Z: Everything runs smoothly. From Information over checkin to actual meetup and finally closing (materials, etc.). I really enjoy that.
I had a good understanding on how to work with my team.

Professional Scrum Master Class
This class was simply amazing! My instructor, Daria Bagina, really mastered the material and most importantly, her experience in the industry allowed her to provide excellent answers to any "real-life" questions. Due to COVID, I took the class online. The material was clearly presented, the interactions, even though done through Zoom, were very good (the instructor used Miro, an online whiteboard, very effectively and it was easy for everyone to use it as well) On the overall, I strongly recommend both the class and the instructor.
Enjoyed the class. Instructor was very clear and provided good real life examples as well as a lot of extra reading materials. Breakout sessions were also well organized and Miro was a great collaboration tool. Structure was well organized with sufficient breaks. Thank you for an amazing 2 days !
How can one be better when with a small audience related to COVID-19 it provided a very comfortable time at speaking and better understanding with the kind and precise help of Daria.
Less effect interactive than a in classroom training, However Daria, the trainer provided very clear guides on foundation concepts of Scrum, and how to be a success PSM. Very helpful.
This is hands down one of the best training sessions I’ve been part of. Extremely well organised, engaging and Daria was extremely helpful and knowledgable.The tools were very intuitive to use and the exercises and case studies were things that I expect could happen in the day to day of my work. Would be interested to take other classes for other certifications in the future
Daria has an amazing way of breaking things down so that they are understandable, and always keeping it light and interesting.
I took a very informative SCRUM master course, thank you
The PSM course was well structured and Daria was a fantastic Trainer. She kept the course interesting through the many breakout sessions and had a lot of real world examples. I enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Very happy with the training I have received. Training was time-boxed properly and the trainer had a very good knowledge of Scrum, had an ease teaching it and was well prepared. The visual support and interactive exercises were compelling (something that is hard to do remotely so, well done).
Super Insightful and Interactive Class. The instructor has very clear explanations and despite having tricky questions, the course is thorough on what to expect for the test.
The PSM Course was very well presented and the knowledge it provided definitely provides a high level of confidence to the student studying to become a Scrum Master.
I was expecting to be more ready to take the assesment. And I got what I was expecting.
Great instructor! Daria knows her stuff 🙂 Would have liked to see even more real world example of how to act as a scrum master and since I already learned by myself the basics of scrum prior to the formation, I would have appreciated to go a bit more in depth during those 2 days. The interactions using Miro and the breakout rooms were a nice way to interact while in global pandemic situation. Overall interesting course that gives a great Scrum overview and insight into the role of a scrum master
Daria presented the class amazingly well , guiding us through the fascinating world of scrum
I gained a much deeper understanding of Scrum from this class and some critical insights on how to apply it in real life. I especially appreciated the way Daria asks "why" - why is that the right / wrong answer. Even though participants were scattered across multiple time zones with the usual frustrations of dropped connections and unreliable audio, Daria remained totally calm and professional throughout and taught a remote class that I'd certainly choose again over some in-person classes I've attended.
The PSM II course delivered by Daria was fabulous! The class consisted of students across multiple time zones and around the globe including Canada, UK, and China. Other than a few technical hiccups over the course of 3-days, learning virtually was a great experience as it allowed collaboration from individuals experiences that you would not have gotten in a physical classroom. I love learning virtually; so many more doors open with this delivery. Kudos to Daria who was professional, knowledgeable and thought provoking. Highly recommend virtual training and of course Daria!
Excellents formateurs, Excellente formation ! Difficultés pour certains participants à comprendre les exercices avec le matériel en anglais.
Très pertinent, Pawel et Daria sont hyper dynamiques et s'ajustent en fonctions de nos questionnements et enjeux. J'ai adoré!!
Great class, i loved the way they made me think about my practice and my experience as a scrum master and compare it with the scrum guide.
Excellent facilitation and relevant content. Learned a lot about how to better serve not just the development team but our Product Owner and the organization. I also gained more insight into what I need to stop doing in order to better serve the team.
What makes or breaks training is the instruction, and I was very fortunate to have Daria as my teacher! Highly recommended to take this as there were so many eye openers. Thank you Daria for keeping it interactive and meaningful!
The PSM II course was excellent. It was a 3-day course filled with group exercises that teach us how to effectively apply Scrum within a team and within an organization. It goes beyond the basics of what is in the Scrum guide by focusing on the Scrum values, the Scrum Master as a servant leader to the team, to the product owner and to the organization, the Scrum Master stances, etc. What I liked the most about the group exercises was sharing our experiences with Scrum, the challenges we face and how we overcome those challenges.
Great class! Great instructor! Great sharing with all the participants!
PSM II with Daria was excellent. It gave me confidence in what I already knew about Scrum and helped me learn skills and techniques to become a better Scrum Master.
A comprehensive, interactive class that will help you become a better Scrum Master, and also help you with PSMII exam prep. Highly recommended class, highly recommended instructor!
I don't quite know how Pyxis Canada does it, they always have great trainers, who have a ton of experience in their respective field, and have a passion for transmitting their precious know-how. And that's exactly how I would describe Daria : experienced, passionate and an excellent trainer. Thank you for the course, I just nailed the certification on top of it 🙂 Cheers, -- Serjik
Très bon cours et merveilleux échanges.
Daria was a great teacher, with solid material and a focus on practical, real-world applications. Despite doing this in a virtual space, it was very beneficial and I guess it's as good as it gets for a 3-day professional training!
Bien aimé les différentes techniques démontrées durant le cours et les exercices étaient très concrets. Merci
Great training with lots of exercices and real life examples. Enlightened me on my weakness as a Scrum Master, help me to improve my skills and prepare me for the PSM II exam. The course is a must in preparation for the exam.
Clear explanations, good workshops.
