The training was very interactive which makes the learning experience better. I liked being able to practice the agile scenarios on the whiteboard in groups. I also liked how Craig mixed the groups up so you weren't always doing exercises with the same people.

See above. I also found the activities really, really helpful to illustrate the theories and cement the concepts in my mind. Another thing that I really valued was the space he gave us to share our experiences with one another, to give real life examples to discuss and reinforce the learning he shared with us.
