I am sincerely thankful for the mentorship and sponsorship that enabled me to achieve my certification. The course fostered engaging discussions, facilitating the application of concepts to my context and peers. I am eager to implement and integrate what I've learned into my team.

Shane and Kevin skillfully facilitated the training. It was not only enjoyable but also incredibly informative, allowing me to absorb a wealth of knowledge in a short period. Kevin and Shane managed to keep the course fun and engaging (I especially liked the quizzes at the end of each day!). Their availability for questions and guidance greatly contributed to my success in passing the test on my first attempt. Now, I'm eagerly looking forward to applying what I've learned in my company.

I truly appreciate your time, the insightful reading recommendations, and the engaging, thought-provoking session. This training course has been an invaluable experience that exceeded all my expectations. Thank you!

Your enthusiasm and humor were incredibly motivating, sparking many new ideas for me. Thank you for this afternoon's leadership session. It was a pleasure to listen to your inspirational talk, perfectly tailored to the audience.

The team did an outstanding job with training and facilitation. The sessions flowed seamlessly, capturing everyone’s attention from start to finish

XLR8’s Leading SAFe course is outstanding. The practical, real-world approach gave me the tools to drive agile transformation with confidence. The instructors' clarity and enthusiasm made every session insightful.

I was thoroughly impressed by the extensive knowledge shared—not only in theory but also in practice. The session was enriched with numerous real-world examples that effectively bridged the gap between abstract concepts and practical application, making the insights immediately relevant and actionable.

I really appreciated how Shane brought the session to life by connecting theoretical concepts with real-life examples and client experiences. His engaging approach not only made the content relatable but also inspired me to see how these ideas can be applied in practical situations. It was a refreshing and impactful way to learn

Shane's deep understanding of the subject and his ability to contextualize concepts with real-life examples made the content very relatable. The blend of theory and practice has been instrumental in helping me see how these ideas can be directly implemented in my organization.

Throughout the course Shane impressed me with his knowledge of SAFe and his ability to transalte complex participant questions into worked through answers , referencing the course work, that all participants could learn from is excellent.

Completing the XLR8 SAFe Agile Certification has been a transformative experience for our organization. The program delivered a practical framework that seamlessly addressed our previous challenges while aligning perfectly with our goal of delivering greater value to our customers at an accelerated pace. I couldn't recommend XLR8 more highly for anyone looking to drive a successful agile transformation.

Given the challenging nature of the subject matter, Shane and Kevin’s mastery was both impressive and reassuring. They effortlessly navigated through the dense content, using clear explanations and real-life examples to illuminate even the most complex topics. Their ability to make the material engaging and understandable turned a daunting subject into an enriching and memorable experience.

The tempo and engagement with the group was very positive and welcoming. The manner in which the trainers went into more detail when necessary while also striking a balance to informal discussion was refreshing. Both Kevin and Shane actively elaborated on the content provided and this helped me as a learner who likes to apply context to in turn bring the learning to life and visualise it internally.

I feel Shane and Kevin bounced off of each other very well, having more than the one voice on the training rollout kept things fresh and engaging. Both facilitator styles worked well and really drove home the people centric intent. I completely felt my learner experience was being inspected and adjusted for.

I would highly recommend this facilitator for a SAFe training course. Throughout the course, they demonstrated an exceptional grasp of the subject matter and made even the most complex concepts accessible to everyone. Even those with no prior knowledge of the SAFe framework and principles. Their in-depth knowledge was evident through the ready availability of supporting materials whenever needed. In summary, this facilitator is well-informed and effective for anyone looking to learn more about SAFe, whether at the beginner or advanced level.

Shane and Kevin are highly experienced trainers with a natural talent for presenting and teaching. They structured the complex, content-heavy material, making the most of the limited course duration. Their combined expertise ensured that even the most intricate topics were effectively communicated and well understood, despite the extensive array of slides and content that needed to be covered.

My experience with XLR8’s SAFe 6.0 training was fantastic! The course was well-structured, engaging, and delivered in a way that made complex concepts easy to grasp. The trainers were knowledgeable, supportive, and created a great learning environment. I left feeling confident and well-prepared to apply what I learned. Highly recommend XLR8 for their professional and practical approach to training!

I recently attended an XLR8 course that expertly balanced theory with practical, real-world examples. The session was well-structured and engaging, featuring interactive activities, breakout sessions, and live tests that reinforced our learning. The facilitators seamlessly blended course requirements with actionable insights and valuable anecdotes, providing a comprehensive view of the challenges organizations face. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of SAFe, and I look forward to attending future sessions with the XLR8 team.

Our training class content was structured very well and made  complex concepts accessible to everyone. Highly recommended!

XLR8 fosters a dynamic and engaging learning environment, which is further nourished by the great dynamic between the trainers. Love the positive energy!

XLR8 made  collaborative exercises easy and fun, which created an engaging environment and team spirit between course attendees.

A huge thanks to XLR8 for their outstanding training! The trainers were highly knowledgeable, making complex concepts easy to grasp with real-world insights. The course content was well-structured, covering everything from Lean-Agile principles to PI planning in a clear and practical way. What stood out most were the engaging exercises—interactive, hands-on, and designed to reinforce learning effectively. Highly recommend XLR8 for anyone looking to earn their SAFe certification!

Looking forward to our next engagement with XLR8!

Great to see XLR8 deliver yet again! Always goes beyond to add value to clients and customers.

Jira (and co) adoption can be a really tough journey where the tool imposes its way on the people. I’d trust the folks at XLR8 to focus on the people and interactions while getting the best out of the tool.

Having worked closely with the team, I can attest that their service is not just about expertise; it's the remarkable energy and teamwork involved in the delivery that sets them apart.

XLR8 know exactly what they are talking about and don’t waste your time. They understand solutions and how to deliver them but also how to convey messages to C-level people. They have experience in a number of different areas and I believe they can add value to most organisations.

I had a very similar experience with the XLR8 team. In a previous opportunity at JPMC they came in to assistance in our product operating model and Jira Align transformation. They were a top notch coaching and training partner. They cared more about making sure we had the proper knowledge and were using the processes and tools the right way than their bottom line. Invaluable partners and would recommend to anyone going through a similar transformation.

Kevin and team have the expertise, mindset, and focus to drive positive outcomes. Recommended.

The unique combination of Kevin Austin’s leadership and the XLR8 team’s innovative strategies drive meaningful and lasting changes for their clients. Their holistic approach with a human-first lens is the difference that makes a difference. I have deep respect for them and the transformative outcomes they create for customers. Big fan!
