Sheldon Balaski, Project Manager, Franklin Templeton

I have had the pleasure of inviting Kevin to speak at a conference I hosted, and of having him be part of a panel that I moderated. I will certainly invite him again. He is an excellent speaker - articulate, considerate, well-prepared, with excellent content. And generally a great guy to work with.

Kevin brings a fresh positive energy to a subject which he is passionate about. His teaching style uses many anecdotal examples to deliver his point. I am about to embark upon an Agile project and this course has equipped me to take it on with confidence. I highly recommend Kevin and the Agile course he teaches.

Kevin has made significant contribution to the field of project management, especially in Canada, through his consulting, training, writing, speaking, and advocacy activities. He consults to Canada's largest organizations, has provided project management training to thousands of students, written and published books and articles on project management, spoken to thousands of people at meetings and conferences. He is tireless in his efforts to spread the knowledge and skills for managing projects as broadly as possible -- to businesses, universities, professional organizations, and the general public. As one of the co-founders and now president of PMAC he continues to build awareness of project management and to encourage its development and evolution. I have known Kevin for a number of years, working with him on the board of PMAC, and also providing Agile project management training. I find him to be ethical, intelligent, straightforward, hardworking, efficient, strategic-thinking, a good communicator and educator. In short, I enjoy working with him.

Thanks again for the inside look at Agile project management. You're enthusiasm for the subject is evident and makes a significant difference when teaching others. I found your course to be more practical (for 'real world' projects) than the typical project management course, and your case studies and anecdotes help to reinforce Agile's application. I see several techniques that would benefit current and future Farrow projects.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kevin on a number of occasions and have found him to be exceptional in many ways - in speaking to executives and alternatively to technical people, in leading projects, and in being a subject matter support for projects. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Kevin.

I was in attendance at your seminar yesterday. It was very informative and picked up on different approaches I can use when implementing agile project management into MS Project.

Thanks for the presentation today. It was a pleasure listening to a 'real world' experienced agile practitioner. It was very gratifying to hear you touch on many of the challenges that one faces while dealing with 'planning'. I work in the Clinical informatics area and have been a practitioner of Agile methodology for about 5+ years although without any formal training (and that includes project management training). There is a lot of common sense and gut instincts involved. I find this a nice fit for many of our research projects where we are dealing with a lot of 'unknowns'. I would be very much interested in your future presentations / workshops geared towards in-depth exploration of specific areas (as you did today).

Kevin Aguanno demonstrated leadership in the area of Agile software development. He was authoritative and did captivate the attention of the room. He also stated that Agile methodology's could be applied to hardware as well. That generated great interest and showed thought leadership in this arena.

Gimhana Muthukumarana, Lead,Toronto IT Architecture User Group

Your class was incredibly informative. I really enjoyed the fact that you permitted the class to lead the discussions and then added the important knowledge to colour in the information. I've taken a lot of courses over my career and I would definitely rank this one as the top. I really enjoyed the fact that you introduced the topic in baby steps and then expanded the complexity but not once did it feel as though it was getting overly complicated. Before I knew it I had picked up really complicated ideas with minimal effort.

Gary Vamvakitis

This is an excellent course that quickly introduces Agile concepts and provides real-world examples to drive home important concepts. Kevin masterfully guides you through approaches and exercises. I had quite a few 'Ah-ha!' moments.
