Learner success stories

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.

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.

Success Story: Scrum Master at Capgemini

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share that I got selected as a Scrum Master at Capgemini! This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible guidance and support of Dhirender Sir. From SAFe certification training to the mentorship course in December, his insights and mentorship have been invaluable—especially as I navigated my career after a one-year gap.

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.

What truly accelerated my success was the deep focus on interview-ready explanations, real examples, and structured handling of situational questions.

Dhirender guided me in shaping a powerful professional introduction—covering my journey, achievements, challenges, and strengths. I built my own detailed library of interview prep, summaries, project challenges, complexities, and more.

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.

Best,

Suraj Hulle

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

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve received an offer as Scrum Master role with an Amazing Salary hike of 120% 😍💃

I joined the Scrum master mentorship program by AgileForum mentor - Dhirender Verma in OCT 2024.

I was extremely hesitant before joining and after checking and comparing syllabus and reading the Success case studies I felt like I can also become a scrum master.

Transitioning from support role/ night shifts, it was not easy but the 2 months live project training, interview preparation and continuous support made it possible.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to our Coach and trainer Dhirender verma for his incredible support and guidance.

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

Sandeep Mittal, Project Manager

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.

Sajan Banka, Scrum Master | Agile Delivery Lead | Certified AI-Empowered SAFe® Agilist

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.

Almas V, Scrum Master

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.

Yamini Thakur, Scrum Master

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.

Shashank, Scrum Master · Project Manager, Cognizant

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.

Madhuri, Scrum Master

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.

Najish Sayyed, Scrum Master, Capgemini

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.

Neha Yawale, Scrum Master, Synechron

Guri, Scrum Master, Capgemini · Delhi-NCR

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

Meenakshi Raina, Agile Coach

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.

Kratika, Scrum Master

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.

Jyoti, Scrum Master

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.

Guru Pras, Scrum Master

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.

Vema, Scrum Master, Singapore

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.

Pooja, Scrum Master, USA

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.

Arti Bhardwaj, Scrum Master

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.
