Information provided by various external sources

Bourk Software Development has been created after a Scrum Master enlightens its founder, Simon. At this point, there was no going back. The only option available was to extend the work of that Scrum Master at a different scale by providing serious Training and Coaching related to Scrum and the best practices from Extreme Programming.

Excellent Agile coaching services from Simon

I wanted to express my gratitude for the outstanding training session you conducted for my team. Your approach and talent truly made the course both interesting and engaging for them.
Your training has not only equipped the team with valuable skills but has also had a significant impact on me personally. In my previous role as a developer, the insights and techniques I learned from you greatly enhanced my efficiency and problem-solving abilities. Now, in my current role as a Team Lead and Acting Manager, the knowledge from your course continues to guide me in leading and supporting my team more effectively.
Thank you once again for your exceptional training and dedication.

Incredibly supportive and knowledgeable

I've attended two classes hosted by Simon. I also now hold two separate certifications, largely in part because of Simon. I took these classes with no formal background in CompSci while trying to transition into a career in IT. Simon was able to effectively communicate all of the key concepts with total clarity and enthusiastically engaged with all of the participants. The structure of his classes makes the content very accessible and memorable.

Simons brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to his classes that he shares freely. He is also incredibly personable and supportive and it felt like learning from a close friend, rather than an instructor.

If you're looking for an experienced professional to help you learn to navigate the unknown, I wholeheartedly recommend Simon Bourk.

Excellent coach

Coach Simon helped me tremendously not only with agile training but also, he made me realize a lot regarding my interactions with people. He showed me how to be more entuned with my own emotions and to help me discover how to put myself in other people's shoes. This is invaluable in my day to day work as a Scrum master.

Simon is a wealth of knowledge in agile. He has answers to every question we ask him... most of the time... he has multiple insights. His workshops are really structured, adaptable to the crowd and he has a way to teach that makes you come up with the "aha!" moment.

I highly recommend him and his methods.

Excellent Agile coaching services from Coach Simon

Simon Bourk's Agile coaching brought us from a purely waterfall development team to a group with several high-performing Agile Scrum teams in a short period of time. With a background of IT project manager it was a significant change moving to Agile but Simon helped me guide my teams through it. We used to perform a few releases a year. Now, at times, we are delivering multiple releases per week, getting more return for investment for our clients.

Thanks Andrew for the review! I'm glad to read on your improvements! Releasing often was a key objective to reduce your feedback loops and reveal the next steps in your product development. Super happy for you and your group!

High quality coaching

Simon possesses excellent coaching abilities. Along with his vast array of innovative techniques, he is also able to adjust to specific situations and offer valuable context specific coaching.

He worked with me to bring my scrum master skills to the next level. He helped me grow from working with a small dev team, to working as a change agent for the whole organization.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Great experience. Highly valuable. Very Happy.

Simon was critical in helping us understand how Scrum would improve our software development process. We wanted to figure out a more efficient way of developing software and tracking progress but also a better way to scale as our development group grew. Simon was great at explaining how Scrum would achieve all of these things. He does a great job of explaining concepts a high level in terms that are easily understood. He was also great in training our developers and product managers in all things Scrum once we had decided to proceed. His workshops were great and his coaching and mentoring is fantastic. He's easy to talk to and always makes himself available. Well done Simon, thanks.
