Great introduction to Scrum and the challenges of working as a Product Owner
We have gained a lot of insight into the topic. The course was suitable for the beginners among the participants as well as for those who have been practicing Scrum (or something like that ;)) for several years.
The material was very well prepared and the course was very interactive, so we worked through most of the content ourselves. In addition, there were some practical examples that helped us to move forward.
Also very positive was the pragmatic approach to the methodology, which focused more on how Scrum and agility advances a company and how the individual components of the framework contribute to it (how can we increase value).
The course has helped me to rekindle my motivation to stand up for agile working in our company and to reduce the vacuum between project methodology and an agile approach, in which you always move as a product owner.

Alexander Hardt is an amazing trainer
Alexander Hardt is an amazing trainer. His classroom is interactive and workshop based, which helped me remember concepts really well. Alex has been supportive enough in explaining me certain topics after the sessions got over.
His teachings helped me clear PSPO I.

Alexander has a wide range of experience and he will give you 100% practical advice how to apply the practices from the class in your daily business. After the two days I was full of enthusiasm to apply what I newly learned.

Excellent instructor!
The instructor was excellent. In three days it didn't even get boring. Despite the virtual wall (due to Corona), the change between theoretical and practical part was optimal. Although I thought I knew Scrum (despite having already completed certification), I learned a lot more about it. I would recommend him anytime.

Alex didn't just follow through with the training according to plan A, but we moved easily and loosely through the individual chapters and, depending on the focus of the group, worked on topics more or less intensively.

Great PAL-E workshop!
I have already been dealing with Scrum for a few years, but PAL-E with Alexander Hardt has helped me a lot again. Above all a deeper understanding of the role and tasks of management in agile organizations. The training was a great combination of content and exercises, especially the case studies helped to differentiate and understand the roles of leadership, product owner, Scrum Master and team.
Alexander has a very relaxed and calm way of moderating. This was especially helpful for the online training, which can be very exhausting over two days.

Excellent Training
I never visited a training like this!
I am honestly stunned by the insight you could get of other roles and positions from our daily work.
Your working day may be confronted by decisions coming from other persons being in other positions.
Understanding from where they come and why he or she is choosing a specific decision is something priceless.
Thank you for this Great Training Alex!

Great remote training with valuable learnings!
In a virtual classroom (we could blame COVID-19 for that), I joined a training by Alex about PSPO. It was a comfortable environment with an excellent balance between theory, practices and personal experiences. We learned a lot in the sessions and I can't wait to apply it!

Virtual PSPO 1 Training - perfectly set up and done!
The PSPO1 training, conducted virtually, due to the Corona situation was really good.It was arranged via MS Teams because of data privacy and security issues with Zoom and Mural for collaboration. Apart from some technical hick-ups at the beginning the training was very beneficial and professionally managed by the host, Alexander Hardt. I would definately do it again!

Alexander's Bio
With the experience of almost 25 years in complex environments, I gained a profound understanding of situational "sense and respond".
I started my career as a web developer with the rising of the commercial internet, to mature myself into an interdisciplinary software developer.
As an early adaptor of Agile, within the early majority of Scrum, I found my life balance and real passion. The profession of a servant leader with the stances of a trainer, facilitator, mentor, coach, impediment remover, and change agent on all levels.
Since 2016 I am a Professional Scrum Trainer. It is still a great learning experience for myself. I am committed to giving the best learning experience to all my students on their learning path.
Let us focus on maximizing the value of our products with the help of Scrum, with mutual respect be open for new insights, and be courageous to challenge the status quo.
