I would like to express my gratitude to my mentor for giving me the confidence to excel in my new job and role as a scrum master. In the past three months through our fruitful conversations and your valuable advice, I've successfully completed onboarding, implemented Scrum in two teams, and passed the PSM I certification! And what is also important I now have a clear understanding of how to develop as a Scrum Master and I'm delighted we can regularly review my personal path. Thank you very much for your guidance and support, Denis!
