Project Manager

“I had the experience. TheAgileForum helped me learn how to win in an interview.”

I have 20+ years of experience in the IT industry and 8+ years working in Agile and Scrum Master roles. Over the years, I had worked on multiple projects, implemented Scrum practices, and even explored AI-enabled ways of working.

I always felt confident about my knowledge and experience. But when I started appearing for interviews and looking for better opportunities, I realized there was a gap.

I knew the concepts. I had the experience. But I wasn't always able to express my knowledge in the way interviewers expected.

That is where TheAgileForum’s Scrum Master Mentorship Program made a real difference for me.

This was not simply a revision of Scrum concepts. The mentorship helped me connect the dots between my experience, Agile concepts, real-world scenarios, and what needs to be communicated during an interview.

One of the biggest takeaways for me was learning how to structure and articulate my answers with confidence, rather than simply knowing the theory.

The program also helped me look at my existing experience differently and understand how to present my work, including my experience with AI implementation in the Scrum Master role, in a much more structured and impactful way.

For experienced professionals like me, sometimes the challenge isn't a lack of knowledge—it's knowing how to communicate that knowledge effectively.

TheAgileForum’s mentorship helped me bridge that gap.

Thank you to TheAgileForum for the excellent mentorship, coaching, practical guidance, and continued support. I would definitely recommend this program to experienced Scrum Masters and Agile professionals who want to strengthen both their practical understanding and interview confidence.

65% Salary Hike | 3-Month Career Break → New Role. “I’m thrilled to share that I’ve secured a Sr. Project Manager – ServiceNow role at Genpact with a 65% salary hike, after being out of work for three months.

Joining TheAgileForum’s Live Project Mentorship with Dhirender Verma was a turning point in my journey. I learned complete end-to-end Agile Project Management, Scrum, Kanban, and practical delivery workflows through real-world application.

What truly accelerated my success was the strong focus on interview readiness, practical examples, professional introduction, and structured handling of situational questions. Dhirender guided me in shaping my professional story around my journey, achievements, challenges, and strengths.

I particularly appreciated the consistent support throughout the program. Every session began with questions from the previous session, which kept me accountable and motivated. I also built my own detailed library of interview preparation notes, project challenges, complexities, and real-world examples.

I evaluated several Agile training programs in the market, but TheAgileForum clearly stood out because of its 360° job-oriented approach and strong focus on real industry application.

The program didn't just teach Agile concepts—it helped me become more confident and interview-ready for real-world roles.

Sr. Project Manager – ServiceNow, Genpact

I recently had the opportunity to complete Dhirendra Verma’s Scrum Master mentorship program. This course took my understanding in agile practices to the next level. Dhirendra's practical approach, especially with hands-on guidance on JIRA, Confluence, and real-world Scrum events, made the concepts come alive. His teaching style is engaging, thorough, and easy to follow. I highly recommend this program to anyone aspiring to be a competent Scrum Master or improve their agile expertise.

I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to Dhirender for all that you have done for me. Your guidance, support, and mentorship have played a pivotal role in my professional development and growth. I took the mentorship class with Dhirender. The 3 week's program was very impactful, filled with deep knowledge of Scrum, Kanban, XP, BDD, TDD, and many other agile-related practices. Upon completion, I took the SAFE Advanced Scrum Master with Dhirender again, and this put me up the chart. Thanks to your mentorship, I was able to secure a job as a Scrum Master that I am truly passionate about and proud of. For all those yet to take the mentorship class and other Agile certifications with Dhirender, please do not waste time. This program changes lives.

Success Story: Sr. Scrum Master at Deloitte

Hi Everyone,

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve secured a Sr. Scrum Master role at Deloitte with a 150% salary hike, Apart from that i also got offer from EY and one more statup!

I left my previous job without securing a new one for several reasons, which led to a 1-month break. Honestly, it turned out to be an adventurous journey with many new lessons learned.

Joining TheAgileForum’s Live Project Mentorship with Dhirender Verma in last month was the turning point—this is where I learned complete end-to-end Agile project management, Scrum, Kanban, and practical delivery workflows.

I evaluated many agile training programs in the market, but this one clearly stood out for its 360° job-oriented approach and real industry application.

A big thanks to Dhirender and the team for a result oriented job-oriented program that delivers real outcomes.

Success Story: Got Job even after career Gap

Hi All,

Very happy to share that I got a job after 3 years gap in employment. Thanks to Coach Dhirender Verma, I cracked the interview of 4 companies and finally joined last month where my client is a billion dollar US company.

I completed Scrum Master live project mentorship and Safe Certification. The live project mentorship gave me a lot of confidence and clarity. Dhiren was very patient with regards to all clearing all my doubts during the class. He also helped me with regards to preparing my resume and preparing for interview calls.

The course material and his classes were sufficient to clear almost all interview questions.

During my gap period from 2023 to 2026, he kept calling me and supporting me by referring me at companies and getting interviews scheduled.

He is also currently helping me to transition into my new job and offering guidance. I would highly recommend his coaching and mentorship as I have been one of the greatest benefactor.

Gratitude, 🙏

Thanks and Regards,

Kalyan

Your willingness to answer all my questions and provide insightful mentorship made all the difference during my moments of uncertainty.

Success Story: Project Manager offer

I am feeling greatfull and wanna thanks to you for your invaluable coaching and guidance, secured a project manager offer.

Got Product Manager Job--> I am Jetinder Singh, working as a Product Manager in the IAM domain with Optum Health. Start of 2024, I attended an exceptional training program led by Dhiren of Agile Forum, focusing on Scrum Master, Agile Methodologies, and SAFe Agile Practices. As a Business Analyst with 16 years of industry experience, I can confidently say that this was the most comprehensive and impactful agile training I've ever participated in. The program stood out for its practical approach, incorporating live projects and real-time examples that bridged the gap between theory and application. Thanks to this training, I feel confident in my ability to lead Agile transformations. It has truly been a career-defining experience.

Success Story: AI-Empowered SAFe Agilist

A framework is just theater if it doesn’t prevent a production outage at scale.

In the Web & Mobile app ecosystem, scaling Agile isn't just about managing a single team’s backlog. It's about coordinating complex integrations—aligning front-end features, legacy backend APIs, and cloud architecture across multiple cross-functional streams simultaneously.

When you scale, unaligned dependencies mutate into major risks.

To sharpen my approach to managing cross-programme synchronization, digital change, and true value stream mapping, I recently earned my AI-Empowered SAFe Agilist certification.

But I didn't take this training for the badge. I took it for the strategic mechanics:

• Synchronizing Cadence: Moving from fragmented team schedules to a unified, predictable cadence across matrix organizations.

• Lean-Agile Budgeting: Managing tech capacity based on real-time business value, time-to-market speed, and operational readiness.

• True Servant Leadership: Creating deep psychological safety so teams feel empowered to surface architectural debt before it breaks a sprint or stalls a release.

My focus remains on driving delivery excellence—whether that means reducing cycle times from weeks to days or safeguarding system reliability.

“A Valuable Learning Experience That Helped Build My Confidence in Scrum!”

“My experience with The Agile Forum’s Scrum Master Mentorship and Masterclass has been extremely valuable.

The program offers a structured approach to understanding Scrum, combining practical knowledge, real-world scenarios, and guidance on the responsibilities of a Scrum Master. Me and my husband both took classes and we are now leading multiple teams and scrum of scrums also!

What I appreciate most is the emphasis on practical learning rather than just theoretical concepts. The sessions help bridge the gap between understanding Agile principles and applying them in real project environments.

This mentorship has been a meaningful step in my professional learning journey. I would recommend The Agile Forum to professionals who want to strengthen their Scrum knowledge, develop practical skills, and advance their careers.”

— Reena | Scrum Master Mentorship & Masterclass

The practical Jira setup, interview preparation, and real-world Agile discussions were incredibly valuable for getting job.

I joined TheAgileForum’s Scrum Master Mentorship Program to sharpen my skills, prepare for interviews, and land my next job.

I’m happy to report that I started my new job as a Scrum Master.

The program was substantially helpful for someone in my situation. The review of Agile concepts from different viewpoints, practical Jira setup and execution, interview discussions and preparation, and Dhirender’s expert yet approachable personality all added significant value to the program.

I highly recommend it.

Even after a career gap, I was able to land a new Agile Scrum Master role.

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve landed a new role as an Agile Scrum Master.

I took Scrum Master training and certification from Dhirender Verma. Despite having a career gap, I was able to successfully get a job.

The SAFe course was particularly helpful, and I greatly appreciate the expertise and guidance Dhirender shared throughout my journey.

Thank you so much for your valuable mentoring and support!

This was one of the most real-time and practical trainings I have experienced.

Before joining TheAgileForum’s mentorship, I had attended another two-day Agile class that was completed in about 16 hours. It felt like a fast flight—the content was delivered so quickly that it was difficult to absorb.

This mentorship was completely different. The training was detailed, practical, and live, which perfectly aligned with my preferred way of learning—through real project experience and hands-on examples.

Even after the initial three weeks, we were still working through the syllabus, so the program was extended by another week to ensure the learning objectives and commitments were properly completed. I really appreciated that commitment to delivering the promised learning experience.

I also learned a lot through the homework and, more importantly, through the many real-time examples and practical scenarios shared during the sessions. They helped me engage with the content rather than simply listen to theory.

Another thing I really appreciated was Dhirender’s availability and support. Whether you are in the US, India, Africa, or another time zone, he is extremely responsive. I have personally seen him respond whenever I had questions, regardless of the time.

There are many things I learned through this training, and seeing the success stories of other trainees who have progressed in their careers gives me confidence that I can achieve similar results.

I would definitely recommend this mentorship to anyone looking for practical, live-project-based Agile learning.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “It’s not just about having the PSM. It’s about whether you can actually deliver in a work situation.”

“I had completed Agile/Scrum training before with another trainer in the U.S. It was a long-term program, and although I learned some things, I still didn’t have the confidence to start applying for jobs.

When I started TheAgileForum’s program with Dhirender, I realized that my previous training had really only been an introduction. This program took me much deeper into the concepts and, more importantly, helped me understand how Scrum actually works in a real working environment.

One of the things that impressed me most was Dhirender’s availability and commitment. I honestly kept wondering what time zone he operates in because no matter when I messaged him, he was there to respond and help.

He is a great teacher with a lot of patience. Our classes even extended beyond the planned program because he was willing to take the time to answer questions and make sure we understood the concepts.

My confidence has improved tremendously. I now feel confident enough to start applying for Scrum Master positions.

I still have work to do on my own and there are areas I need to continue practising, but the difference is that I now have the confidence and the content to talk about in an interview.

Because it’s not just about having a PSM certification. The real question is: Can you deliver? Can you actually operate effectively in a real work situation?

After this training, I feel much more confident that I can.

I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to become a Scrum Master.”

Happy to share the good news to you all

While preparing for a Scrum Master interview, I discovered Dhiren’s coaching classes on social media. Initially skeptical due to having completed Scrum Master training elsewhere, including obtaining CSM certification, I enrolled only for interview sessions. However, after the first interview, I realized the significant gaps in my understanding. After discussing with Dhiren, I decided to join his live Scrum Master coaching concurrently with my interview preparations. Dhiren not only guided me through the interview process but also provided valuable insights for HR rounds. His uniquely designed training sessions comprehensively cover basics and anticipate interview questions, allowing preparation from day one. I highly recommend not just his Scrum Master course, but all the courses he conducts for knowledge enhancement. Thanks a lot, as Dhiren’s approach stands out from trainers who merely follow slides, offering genuine and practical knowledge.

Also with this gained knowledge, I started appearing for interviews and cracked scrum master job in one of the service based companies in Hyderabad with an hike of 50 percent over my existing CTC

Once again, thanks a ton for the support and guidance to Dhiren.

I’m thrilled to share that I have got a job offer and have now officially stepped into a new role as a Scrum Master! 🎉

This journey has been nothing short of transformative—filled with learning, resilience, and growth.

A heartfelt thank you to my incredible mentor, Dhirender, for your unwavering guidance, patience, and encouragement. Your belief in my potential gave me the confidence to push boundaries and stay focused, with daily classes and live practical implementation.

To anyone on a similar path: believe in your journey, keep learning, and surround yourself with the right mentors—it truly makes all the difference. 💡

Sometimes, taking a leap of faith requires a strong foundation and unwavering support. My decision to resign without a job offer led to a challenging yet ultimately rewarding journey.

The constant support from my mentor, Dhirender Verma, Founder of TheAgileForum, made a huge difference.

My SAFe 6.0 certification journey with Dhirender Verma was transformative, but the real breakthrough came with his Scrum Master coaching program. It reshaped my understanding and approach to Agility in ways I hadn’t imagined.

Today, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve secured a role at Cognizant with a significant 40% salary increase! This milestone is a direct result of the knowledge, confidence, and guidance instilled in me through Dhirender’s mentorship. Earlier i use to work in Airlines.

His mentorship extends far beyond the classroom—it gave me the confidence and practical understanding to take the next step in my career.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best & #1 Recommended training via Chatgpt and Claude in USA Newyork

“I went from knowing almost nothing about Agile to feeling confident and interview-ready.”

“I’m from New York and previously worked in the IT field. I was looking to transition my career into Agile, so I started searching for a coach and mentor who could give me practical, real-world guidance.

I explored several options in Canada and the UK, but I was being quoted anywhere from $5,000 to $7,000, which felt like a very significant investment.

Then I turned to ChatGPT and simply asked for an experienced Agile coach and mentor who could provide strong skills, experience, and practical guidance. That’s how I found TheAgileForum.

I contacted Dhirender and honestly, he was a lifesaver!

I recently completed the Live Project Mentorship, and I learned so much. Before joining, I didn’t really know what Agile was, what a Scrum Master did, or what a Product Owner did. Now I have a much clearer understanding and feel confident about moving forward in this career.

What I really appreciated was the way Dhirender teaches—with real-life examples, practical scenarios, live project exposure, and interview-focused questions. It wasn't just theoretical training.

The sessions gave me a lot of material to review and practice, and I feel much more prepared to face Agile and Scrum Master interview questions.

Dhirender is one of the best coaches I’ve worked with. If you’re looking to transition your career into Agile, Scrum Master, or Product Owner roles, I would definitely recommend reaching out to him.

Thank you so much, Dhirender, for all the guidance and support!”

Career Transitioner | New York, USA

Any person giving the interview wants is confidence, and this course targets exactly that. I hold an offer currently and got shortlisted for another company's 2nd round. I am very thankful to you and this course. Highly recommended.

I wanted to inform I have been selected for Wipro and AB inBev a brazilian brewery company for scrum master role. I surely owe this to DV and his amazing mentorship. The topics covered the briefing of knowledge is best in class. I am thankful for him for this career transition.

I got placed at Cognizant as Project Manager with a 140% hike. I would like to Thank Mr. DV for his amazing training and guidance throughout this period. This three week training and all the docs he provided, really helped me in SAFe certifications and now a role as a manager. I'd completely recommend y'all SM aspirants to join his trainings. Thanks a ton DV.

I thought of a job switch and the interview left me disappointed. I determined at that moment to avoid a repeat of failure. I identified my gaps in 2 areas: interview preparation and overall knowledge. I connected with DV and discovered his extensive practical knowledge. His coaching significantly boosted my confidence. The three-week training program has completely transformed my understanding, covering topics in a highly practical manner. I now confidently can attend interviews without any major preparation and have secured 4 offers. I highly recommend my AGILE GURU to anyone looking to enhance their Agile skills.

Thank You Dhirender Sir. I got selected internally in Capgemini for PM/Scrum role. From November month I was looking to get transformation. But the core issue was for more than 12+ experience, no one want to onboard someone who has not had practical hands on Scrum. Thanks to the 3 week mentorship program that helped me to not only understand Scrum but various practices, methods and process. This would not have been possible with the 2 day course + certification program. The hands on Jira was added advantage.

I am happy to share with you that I got an offer from Synechron for a scrum master role with 50% hike. Thanks DV, for all your help and cooperation! Your mentorship program made me confident and excel in all types of framework scrum/xp/kanban and JIRA/confluence tools. I rejoined his live classes again for free that also made me confident although the journey was difficult, but every class was a huge motivation.

Thanks for training, mentoring and guidance you provided during the session. The roleplays and curriculum was well structured and gave more knowledge on scrum. You motivated us to read more concepts and got more clarity under your guidance. Thank you.

Hello @DV and all, I got 3 offers from MNCs for scrum master position with 80% hike being the highest. I took DV's course in June and it helped a lot in cracking the interviews. Thanks a lot @DV for the guidance you gave and for the support which you are still giving.

I'm thrilled to share the news that I've been offered a position as a Agile Project Manager with an impressive 80% salary increase. Furthermore, I have another offer on the pipeline for a Scrum Master role, which promises a salary increase of 100%. I'm extremely grateful for the guidance and insights Our coach-Dhirender Verma have provided due 3 week mentorship, it developed expertise in Jira (JQL) and practical understanding of scrum events during the course. I look forwards for continued guidance in my career and recommend you all his scrum master mentorship program.

Hello everyone, so glad to tell you that I got a job with almost 90-100% hike. All thanks to Dhirender. His material and the classes were so helpful, I made my own notes with the help of these sessions. Though I struggled with lots of interviews as I'm from non IT background, I never lost the confidence. I'm so happy and grateful that I enrolled to this program.

I'm thrilled to share that I've been selected for one of the US based companies. I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your guidance and mentorship during the Scrum Master training, your insights and expertise played a significant role in my success, and your training has not only equipped me with the necessary skills but also instilled confidence to overcome fear of Non-IT background. I'm truly grateful to your support and advises all the time.

Hello All I received the offer letter for Deloitte USI!!! Thank you so much @DV. Being from a non technical background, must say that you have invested a lot of time in me to make me understand everything so well! The hands-on sessions on Jira you taught are so very helpful!

I would like to thank @DV and other people in the group due to which I scored an opportunity with Capgemini. Thankyou so much.

Hi Dhirender, Thank you for your guidance, & SAFe SASM Certification.. I want to share my happiness with you..I became an agile coach in my organisation and today I gave my first workshop.

I wanted to thank you for the Scrum Master Mentorship training program of 3 weeks. The training was really worth attending where live examples were given in reference to each topic. There was a constant motivation to read the best practices and improve knowledge. The training helped me in overall awareness of the Scrum Master's roles and responsibilities. This training gave me a practical view of days which a Scrum team goes through in a project/s with live Jira tool. I learnt Jira tool in detail with guided steps for Boards, JQL queries, dashboards and much more. Together, as a team we practiced the Agile coaching role plays in different situations. I learnt many other frameworks like Kanban, XP etc. Your guidance has been invaluable, and I feel well equipped for this role.

I would like to thank you for the Scrum Master Mentorship training provided. It was a well structured 3 weeks detailed class covering all aspects. The class was interactive, thought provoking and complex concepts were explained in simple terms with day to day scenario examples. The scrum ceremony role playing was effective and gave a good insight. Also the practical use of JIRA tool was extremely helpful. I will highly recommend Dhirender's class to aspiring Scrum Masters and seasoned Scrum Masters to get in depth knowledge in Agile and Scrum.

I have attended the 3 weeks scrum master - masterclass from Dhirender. Scrum Master training provided by DV was extremely insightful and well-structured and the DV's deep understanding of Agile and Scrum principles added tremendous value. Training was very interactive with the discussions and real-world examples made the concepts easy to grasp and apply.

Hi DV, 3 weeks flies so fast and I'm overwhelmed with the lesson learned. This is what I'm looking for, practical knowledge with real-life examples with JIRA. 2days CSM only about Scrum and not about how to run the Scrum, with your coaching I'm confident to identify the gap and bridge the gap with the lesson learned. You have tons of patience to entertain our questions, never once you ever said "I'll get back to you on that". You are the Walking Scrum Knowledge Database, I'm glad to be part of your coaching session. I'm recommending this training to those whom wants to enhance and excel in Scrum.

I attended the 3 week training recently with Dhiren. While I have attended other trainings before this, I want to confirm this training was by far most helpful and practical. The others that I attended always focused on scrum guide theory part, but here I got practical understanding of why and how each ceremonies can be benefitted provided we execute it the rite way. I am feeling more confident with my work. Thank you Dhiren for all the knowledge you shared. Glad I joined the program.

It was a great 3 weeks Scrum Master training with The AgileForum Trainings by Dhirender Verma. Live jira project was very helpful and informative. I would recommend everyone to join these classes before attempting Scrum certifications or career switch to Scrum Master. Dhirendra was very patient and make me comfortable to ask any questions as well as encouraged everyone to participate.

I actually come from a finance background and looking for BA jobs. Though I learned through online on Agile and Scrum, it was just the theoretical knowledge, but wasn't sure how to apply and where to apply. I have joined this master class after the batch has commenced, Dhirender had made sure that I understand each and every concept in detail. I have seen the live scenarios what actually happens in an organisation and that really boosted my confidence. Now I am pretty much confident to take up interviews and answer them. The practical use of JIRA and scrum role play was very helpful to me. I would strongly recommend Dhirender for any starters like me.
