Social Proof

Testimonials from clients who engaged me to address delivery constraints, transform systems of work, implement tooling, or attend training courses. Also includes colleagues who worked alongside me on projects.

These statements describe what people observed or experienced. They are evidence of approach, knowledge, and working style, not endorsement.

How to Use This

Look for testimonials that describe constraints similar to yours. Notice what the client valued, what changed, and whether the outcome matched their intent.

Filter by category if you want to see feedback specific to a particular engagement type or outcome area.

Martin has a vast knowledge of Scrum and Agile and taught an excellent course to my group. From this course I was able to quickly pass my Proffesional Scrum Developer exam, which would have been much more difficult without Martins teaching.

I just experienced the power of Martin Hinshelwood & Jim Sammons during a PAL-e private training class. As a leader within an organization that is about to begin an agile evolution, I'll be honest - I was skeptical that our group would get much out of this training session; however, I was proven wrong after the first day. So much so that this class and its' content is now referenced in many of our other leadership meetings. Martin & Jim provided just the right amount of facilitation and guidance to help our group to open up and dig into topics that had been 'floating on the surface'. Our team knows we have a long road a head of us, but having the skills from the PAL-e class in our pockets makes the weight that we have to carry as leaders feel like less.

I took the Professional Scrum for Kanban course (PSK) with Martin in June 2022. Martin is a great teacher! His vast knowledge of Scrum and Agile methods is complemented with his excellent technical skills. This combination really shines through when discussions turn from theory to more practical issues!

The stuff we have learned about Scrum was amazing. I liked how the instructor has led the course. But I didn't like how much we talked about the basics of software development like unit testing, measuring code coverage, etc. I would welcome more advanced content like how to manage big projects using trunk based branching strategy for example.

I've taken Professional Scrum Master course with Martin. In spite of digital format of the course, it was very interesting and interactive. I was impressed by tools and techniques that he used during the course. The course content was vey relevant for my daily tasks, as well as the materials that were provided for further reading. I can strongly recommend Martin as a Scrum guide and mentor
