Responsive Advisors is committed to a holistic approach to agility and Scrum. Robert Pieper, a Professional Scrum Trainer with Scrum.org, is the founder and Principal Consultant of Responsive Advisors. Learn more about what makes Responsive Advisors Agile Training great.

• Our advisors help make Scrum stick by fully explaining the “why” behind Scrum (we don't just throw charts and graphs at you). 

• We have deep and broad industry experience and can uniquely apply it to real-world problems.

• We know how to communicate difficult-to-grasp agile concepts to technical and non-technical audiences alike.


WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT OUR INSTRUCTORS 

"Jordan was able to give me the holistic view of Scrum that I was missing even after working with it for years and having attended other training. I left the class excited and confident in my abilities, which is something that I can’t say that I’ve often experienced after a training class. I suppose the truest endorsement of the progress I made was finally having the confidence to take the PSM-II, which I passed with a 92%. If I wind up conquering the PSM-III, I know I’ll have Jordan to thank.” - David de Corlieu

“Thank you again for a great class last week!  I came back excited to share what I'd learned with the rest of the company - I'd argue that's not something that can't be said for most classes. Loved the small class size and open communication. Would definitely recommend to others at my organization.” 

“A good balance between theory and examples vague enough to elicit great discussion and interactions, but relevant enough to get concrete knowledge to take home.” 

“Busting some of the myths of what is and isn’t scrum was helpful. Lots of good guidance on how to maximize our use of Scrum. Good clarification on the purpose of many of the Scrum concepts.”

THE RATIONAL BIBLE: EXODUS


Irrelevant, outdated, irrational, antiquated and immoral—these words used today to describe the Bible are dead wrong. Nationally syndicated radio host, best-selling author, and Prager University founder, Dennis Prager, explains that the Bible is not only rational but extremely relevant to people of faith and no faith in his newest book The Rational Bible: Exodus (Regnery Faith; $34.99; April 2, 2018.)


Dennis Prager provides an entirely reason-based, verse-by-verse explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, demonstrating why the Bible remains profoundly relevant in the time of chaos we face. Containing the most important moral code in world history, the Ten Commandments, The Rational Bible: Exodus brings the core wisdom of the Bible to modern readers by explaining the stories and laws of the Old Testament in contemporary terms using reason.


“Given the supreme importance of goodness and the indispensability of wisdom to goodness, the Torah, the greatest repository of goodness and wisdom in human history, is the most important book ever written,” says Prager. “It gave birth to the rest of the Bible, to Christianity, and to Western civilization.”
The Rational Bible: Exodus is the fruit of Dennis Prager’s fifty years of studying and teaching the Torah to people of every faith and no faith. On virtually every page, readers will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to each of us individually. His goal: to change your mind — and, as a result, to change your life.
