The Job Hackers

I am currently attending The Job Hackers Agile MBA Class and I would give it a 5-Star (even before completing the course)
When I started the course I had very low expectation for the class and about Scrum in general (bad experience), but understanding... Read More the fundamentals of Scrum framework, I can see all that went wrong in my previous experience, what could be done in such situations.
The examples Larry gives for every aspect are perfect, it gives us a clear practical understanding of Agile and Scrum.
The only negetive (even that is not really a big deal ) is their online optional Lab was not as clear and informative as Larry's classes. This again is not really negative but more of a glitch due to the online setting. They have done this in person in the past and now its online (due to COVID) which has brought in a few glitches in the class.
Irrespective of this the Class has given me so much insight to information that I cannot thank the entire Job Hacker team enough.
Especially as they are all volunteers and do not get paid for this. Really appreciate all the effort that Larry and his team has put into it.

The Job Hackers' Agile MBA isn't just for those who have worked or currently work in tech. The skills, insights, and lenses Larry gives his students can change the way we look at the world. This course instilled so much confidence in me and opened my... Read More eyes to taking more control of professional and personal projects. I was able to see where and why past projects and work had gone wrong how I could have done better to manage them. The people running this course also deeply care about their community of Job Hackers. Unemployment can be a scary time for most people, but the team creates a strong sense of community, provides resources for job seekers, and helps students and alumni find work. Everyone is generous with their time. It's unbelievable that this $1000+ course is provided for free. I am so grateful to them and the Job Hackers community.

The material is excellent, the reading book list is excellent, the collaboration between classmates, instructor and support staff is fantastic. All questions were answered either in the class chat or live audio or using the Slack class channel. I was... Read More able to take the course remotely through Zoom. Each class room session was recorded and the class chat script published making review of class material very easy. The material presented was excellent and I would recommend anyone interested in team dynamics and team motivation to attend Agile MBA, this class goes beyond simply understanding Agile or Scrum. An added benefit is the pay-it-forward program where you are allowed to use volunteer hours to offset the cost of the program. I would recommend Agile MBA to anyone who wants to learn about Agile and Scrum. They also help you prepare for your Professional Scrum Master I certification. Excellent program!

This was a great course, in fact the best one I have taken online. Larry is great, and the topics are not just related to Agile/Scrum but are also relevant to so many topics in business and life in general. Well worth the time. Because of this class I... Read More hope to change my career path.

Larry Apke's approach to 'The Job Hacker's Agile MBA' is amazingly applicable to any industry. His energy, knowledge and passion for 'Agile' is fascinating. I have worked & experienced both Waterfall and Agile mindset but Larry's non-conventional, more... Read More relate-able details, anecdote are true wisdom and am glad that I attended his 8 week's session. I would highly recommended anyone with Agile experienced or not to attend Larry's 'Agile MBA' sessions.

I absolutely loved this class - informative, engaging, and even entertaining! Tons of useful advice, straightforward preparation for the PSM test, with much more context shared via an excellent SCRUM workshop, helpful videos and highly relevant suggested... Read More reading material. And it was free! Happy holidays to Larry and his whole crew!

I have been working with Scrum since 2014, on and off depending on the role, and have a CSM certification since then. I took Larry's Agile MBA course as a refresher and to see what is new in the field as I am going through a job transition. I am glad... Read More I took this course at it gave valuable insights to the philosophy behind the methodologies that you rarely get elsewhere, and it provided a forum to discuss and learn new approaches to real life challenges we experience implementing Agile in today's organizations. Again, something you rarely get to discuss in the open elsewhere. I also think the recommended reading list of books and articles is stellar. This course is very valuable whether you are new to Agile or whether you want to keep learning and sharpening the saw, so to speak.

Great opportunity for anyone re-entering the workforce or looking for a job change into tech.
I've been out of the software development industry for a bit while I raised my babies. As I was preparing to return to the workforce and was talking to former... Read More co-workers there seemed to be a lot I had missed, no surprise with how quickly technology changes. This course was PERFECT as it has gotten me started on my path to finding my place in the workforce. It's not just for software development but can be applied to so many other things - the team, Larry and Edward are amazing and supportive and attentive. I've learned so much and look forwarded to continuing the learning path to increase my chances of finding my place in the workforce. THANK YOU!!!!!
