Great class
I had a great time. It helped me with the scrum framework and understanding better terms like Definition of Done, and how to approach conflict.

Awesome PAL-EBM Training!
It was already my third class with Alex, and I can absolutely recommend you to join his training. His trainings are interactive and fun to learn together.
The class gave me great insights into the key benefits of PAL-EBM. Also passing the assessment was easy. I really can recommend his trainings and
I am happy that I am still in contact with him. Thank you!

Satisfaction Guaranteed!
The PSPO course was my third class with Alex. I truly enjoy his way of teaching us about Scrum and I keep coming back for more. Alex is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and lets the class explore topics with sometimes lengthy ad hoc discussions, still managing to keep the pace to complete the curriculum (not sure how he always manages that). This last time we had a kind of private class with 6 participants from various fields and locations. It was very interesting and enjoyable. In fact, the group dynamics were so great that we are actually trying to set up the PSPO-A class later this fall with the same attendants. How about that level of customer satisfaction! I highly recommend learning about Scrum and agile methodologies from Alex.

This was my second class with Alex.
This was my second training with Alex and it fully lived up my expectation. Alex always finds a way to keep us all thinking and doesn’t give away much before we all dive in into the topics. Think scrum! :)

The class was one off the best I have ever attended.
The class was one off the best I have ever attended, Alexander, our trainer, was proffessional but friendly, always prepared with all needed material, showed a broad expertise and made sure the discusssions went the right direction without side tracking. All questions that did not directly relate to the topics were parked and answered later on. I would definitely recommend Alexander to my friends/colleagues.

Effective and interactive PSK I training
I recommend attending the PSK I training with Alex. It was very well structured, quite effective (small group) and the exercises were very interactive. In addition, Alex shared helpful tips on preparing for the exam, which helped me to pass it on the first try.

Das PSK Training bei Alexander war genial. Er ist absoluter Experte im Thema Agilität und bietet eine sehr breites Trainings Angebot von der Scrum.org an. Das Training war sehr abwechslungsreich und interaktiv!
Wir arbeiten mit digitalen Boards gearbeitet, es gab viele Kleingruppen Aufgaben und ein paar lustige Spiele. Ich kann seine Trainings sehr empfehlen und hab die Prüfung ohne Probleme bestanden. ;) Danke Alexander!

Great training experience - again! :-)
This was already my second training together with Alex.
I actually took this PAL-E training with Alex on purpose as I had already had a great PSPO training with him.
And also this time I can again recommend this training (and Alex as trainer :-)). I particularly like his calm way, giving the participants many open space to fill the training with lots of individual content. Alex is really experienced and knows when to stay quiet and when to drop some small hints to keep the conversation flowing.
I really liked the the case study that the we had been working through along the training. These discussions really gave me feeling on how to react appropriately as Agile Leader in many different situations and gave me the opportunity to exchange experiences with the other participants.
This training and the learning material were a very good preparation for the PAL 1 assessment.
Thank you Alex and of course all the other participants for this successful training!!! :-)

Scrum /w Kanban Training with Much Input from the Field
I particularly liked the fact that Alex incorporated his practical experience from his projects in which he introduced Kanban.
Especially the part about metrics became more comprehensible.
This training makes it very obvious what added value Kanban can bring to Scrum.

Speed up team decision making
The course PAL-E from Alex provided valuable insights into agile leadership. In our case it helped us improve and speed up decision making processes in our team tremendously. We saved quite some time by following the concepts and rules provided and discussed in this course. With that, we got a clearer & better perspective of what topics are laying ahead of us and how we can tackle them in an iterative nature. That leads us to providing more value to our customers, faster.
Thanks Alex!

Alex did a fantastic job!
Alex did a fantastic job teaching Scrum. The group exercises were particularly helpful in understanding Scrum in a practical way. Alex gave us many opportunities to ask questions and answered them all. The course material was excellent, it was well paced, and the flow / sequence of topics was very logical.
Something worth mentioning is that all the course material was on Mural, and their site went down on our first day of training. But, Alex was able to replicate the course on Miro very quickly, and get us started ASAP. Loved his commitment!

Take the PAL-EBM training with Alexander is awesome!
The PAL-EBM training is an awesome training for everyone who wants to get started empirical improve business results.
Due to his deep knowledge and brought experiences in empiricism, Scrum, and Agility, Alexander did a fantastic job in introducing Evidence-Based Management to me. Based on a case study and lots of interactive exercises the training helped me to get a deeper understanding of how to manage with evidence. Alexander did not just provide the training he made a learning experience out of it by providing additional emails, reflections, materials, and follow-up calls.
In short, if you want to learn more about Evidence-Based Management I highly recommend taking a class with Alexander.

PAL-EBM was a class full of valuable insights which I could implement directly. The extraordinary way Alexander facilitated the discussion on how goals, measurement, and experimentation can help us to improve our business results in complex circumstances was unique. It was amazing how we grew together as a team during the day, and I am happy to stay connected with Alex and every other participant after the class.

Thanks for the good introduction to EBM
As a Scrum Master and OKR Coach, Alexander Hardt's EBM course was a good addition as a framework. As a facilitator in Lean Coffee Duesseldorf I always have the questions, how can I measure the success of agility, here EBM offers a good answer. Many thanks to Alexander Hardt who prepared and delivered the course well.

And yes, I succesfully completetd the PSK I certification assessment.

Methoden und theoretische Grundlagen praxisnah vermittelt
nach 1,5 Jahren als PO tat es richtig gut im Training aus dem "Praxistrott" wieder frische Theoretische Grundlagen und Best-Practices vermittelt zu bekommen. Das hilft die eigene Arbeit zu reflektieren.
Das Training ist dabei aber sehr praxisorientiert ausgelegt und die Methoden werden direkt in Kleingruppen angewendet.
Ich konnte direkt nach dem Training einige neu erlernte Methoden bei meinem Produkt anwenden

Recommended training to improve your Scrum knowledge!
Alexander did a great job and put a lot of thought into organizing the two days without making you regret attending the training! The training was very interactive and it was not a dry run-through of theory.
It was full of examples for the different theory chapters of Scrum for the group to take upon. This is for sure useful because it encourages thinking along. The trainer talked about our "mistakes" and explained the theory behind why something is recommended and why not, so that you get a good feeling about the situation and already pay attention better in the next task. He listens to the participants and explains ambiguities without imposing his opinion.
No matter how well someone knows Scrum, there were always examples that make even the most experienced think about a situation and take away something new. In addition, the trainer gave helpful tips for daily work, which will certainly help. I would recommend training by Alexander and I am looking forward to my next training with him!

Fun, interesting and well paced!
I've taken some courses in agile methologies in this past year and PSM1 was my favorite. Alexander is very patient and knowledgeable. He makes you think and allows for the participants to explore questions and express their views rather than pushing to keep within the set time box of the course plan, which other classes often tend to do (and thereby also missing out on some deeper understandings in key areas). While being this flexible and agile we somehow completed the entire course plan on time without ever getting the feeling it was rushed. Fun, interesting and well paced! Highly recommended!

Ein Kanban Training mit vielen interessanten Insights
Dieser zweitägige online Kurs ging unter der Führung von Alexander wie im Flug vorbei. Das Training was super strukturiert und die Herangehensweise von kurzen Einführungsblöcken zu den Themen und den zahlreichen Gruppenarbeiten hat Spass gemacht, war sehr lehrreich und interaktiv gestaltet.
Insgesamt waren es zwei sehr informative Tage mit super vielen Inputs und einem guten Praxisbezug aus unterschiedlichen Branchen.
Ich empfehle den Kurs jedem, der mehr über Kanban Metriken und Charts lernen möchte. Darüber hinaus kriegt man mit Alexander einen sehr erfahrenen und entspannten Trainer der jederzeit auf die Wünsche der Teilnehmer eingeht.

Das war ein tolles Training. Guter Mix aus Input und selbst erarbeiten. Dadurch vergingen die zwei Tage wie im Flug. Auch der Einsatz der Tools Zoom und Mural hat mir sehr gefallen. Das Training war super vorbereitet. Wir haben immer wieder in kleineren Gruppen Übungen gemacht. Je nach Aufgabe wurde die Zusammensetzung der kleineren Gruppen beibehalten oder geändert. Das hat dazu geführt, dass die Teilnehmer sich immer besser kennengelernt haben. Wir hatten eine tolle Stimmung und Gruppendynamik. Inhaltlich gab es eine Menge Input, immer wieder mit Praxisbezug. Gerne wieder.

I can recommend Alex as trainer and as professional in anything related to Scrum and Scrum.org.

Sehr gut vorbereitetes Online Training. Alex geht anhand der Erfahrungen und Level der Teilnehmer durch das Programm.

Trotzdem, oder vielleicht auch gerade deshalb, ist man sehr gut auf die Zertifizierung vorbereitet. Danke Alex!

Time boxing as a shining example
Best time boxing ever in my live, which gives a good feeling during the training days and is also a shining example of how to ensure time boxing as a scrum master yourself. A lot of practical discussions. Trainer is open to talk about practical experiences and give hints about that. Good preparation for the certification and also for the work as a scrum master. Haven't had my personal coaching hour yet, but I am looking forward to this appointment with Alexander. Alexander also has a wider look, not only knowing scrum, but other agile methodologies as well and a lot of practical experience around software development processes.

Ownership of my first product
The class was very well organized, using virtual tools only.

The course helped me to understand the relations within the typical Scrum team and how to manage external expectations in the product owner role.

Very well managed Advanced PO training

I can only recommend!
I can only recommend Alexander Hardt. He uses just the right amount of theory with spot on examples so everyone can quickly understand what the task/topic is with or without prior Scrum experience. We didn't even realise it, but we took on all the SM1 material in two days, so the exam was no problem with minimal preparation. I highly recommend Alexander as a trainer and look forward to future training courses with him!

Fascinating topic "PAL" & an excellent trainer!
Alexander Hardt made this course so interesting again virtually (because of Corona) that there was no boredom during the training days. Everyone in our course understood the content right away in such a way that we passed the exam without much learning curve (assuming SM1 & PO1). I can only recommend the subject of PAL and Alexander as a trainer and I look forward to future training courses with him!

Excellent PSPO-A class with valuable content and exciting interaction
The PSPO-A training was packed with valuable insights to benefit from supporting my Product Owner colleagues to improve our competitiveness. During the class, Alex gave us enough space to swap ideas, thoughts, and real work experiences in the whole group. I am excited to bring the practices that we covered to my team and support the product managers in adapting their stances to be more successful.

Absolute recommendation!
Most important message first:
I can totally recommend this course!
The course consisted of 7 people (6 students + Alexander Hardt as trainer) and we had a great chemistry from the very beginning.
I really liked Alexander's teaching approach:
- Introducing the PO from an abstract Agile Product Management point of view and then presenting its implementation via Scrum.
- Mixing different ways of elaboration of the course's contents: Direct presentation, time-boxed discussions and working out individual examples (by means of a fictional product) for abstract concepts.
Alexander encouraged to openly discuss our findings and to gather our individual "lessons learned". It goes without saying that Alexander was always open and eager to answer our questions, and provided an encouraging joyful atmosphere.
These two days were full of interesting information, and it never got boring.
Thank you Alex! :-)

Good online session!
We had a really good online session with Alex! He was clear and explained well, he also took his time and had patience.
The way of working with Zoom, breakout rooms and Mural was a really good way to keeping it entertaining while not being able to be physically in the same room. I know that Covid has forced all of us to go online, but I still prefer the real classroom trainings above the online ones. Specially because there are less distractions, think of: work emails & telephones, things happening at home in and outside.
Seeing also the subjects spoken and to be covered, I think personally I would have liked this training to be 3 days. Felt like there was more to discuss and review. Further it was an interesting training and gave me better insight to my new position as a PO.

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.

PAL essential for becoming a product leader
100% enjoyable and essential for my further career. The PAL class was full of greate knowledge and practices, which are absolutely essential for becoming a leader in agile product development. 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.

Great gift to be guided
It was a great gift to be guided through the PSM I training with Alex. Competence, experience, structure, transfer of theory into practice and participant orientation, everything was given. We all learned a lot and could pass the certification. - Thanks to Alex!

Alexander's Certifications
Alexander's Bio
Do you want to gain more knowledge about Scrum?
Is it your goal to improve your career opportunities by getting a certification? Or do you want to increase your capabilities by solidifying your understanding of applying the Scrum framework and complementary practices effectively?
Whether you are new to Scrum or already using it, my training deepens your knowledge. All courses are highly interactive, engaging, and enjoyable. They balance knowledge transfer, case studies, and real-life examples to close the gap between theory and practice. All classes inspire and motivate you to challenge your status quo to improve your daily outcomes.
After each class, I offer additional personal coaching for each student. You can get valuable assistance to apply what you learned in the course in your specific context, or you also could clarify topics from the class that remained unclear to you. This offer also includes assessment support. Everyone eager to learn can pass the assessment associated with the training.
I have been a Professional Scrum Trainer since 2016 with more than twenty years of teaching expertise. My students describe me as a competent, structured, and inspiring teacher. They also give me high rates for my facilitation techniques. Below you can find a list and see what my students say in detail. I am committed to providing the best learning experience to all my students on their learning path – with no one-size-fits-all approach.
Because I have been able to exert Scrum not only in a theoretical context but within diverse experiences in Software and several other Business contexts, you can benefit from my broad and integrated view on that subject in every class.
Besides working as a trainer, I support executive directors to grip their business and make it robust by aligning their organization's values and goals, improving the end-to-end value creation process, facilitating employees' commitment and ownership, and focusing on frequently delivering valuable solutions for real customer problems.
Now, book your seat for a public class. If you are interested in private (in-house) training, book your meeting appointment to create an optimized training experience for your concrete needs. Do not hesitate to reach out to me so that we can collaboratively improve our profession! #ScrumOn 🚀

Awesome PAL-EBM Training!
It was already my third class with Alex, and I can absolutely recommend you to join his training. His trainings are interactive and fun to learn together.
The class gave me great insights into the key benefits of PAL-EBM. Also passing the assessment was easy. I really can recommend his trainings and

Satisfaction Guaranteed!
The PSPO course was my third class with Alex. I truly enjoy his way of teaching us about Scrum and I keep coming back for more. Alex is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and lets the class explore topics with sometimes lengthy ad hoc discussions, still managing to keep the pace to complete the curriculum (not sure how he always manages that). This last time we had a kind of private class with 6 participants from various fields and locations. It was very interesting and enjoyable. In fact, the group dynamics were so great that we are actually trying to set up the PSPO-A class later this fall with the same attendants. How about that level of customer satisfaction! I highly recommend learning about Scrum and agile methodologies from Alex.

The class was one off the best I have ever attended, Alexander, our trainer, was proffessional but friendly, always prepared with all needed material, showed a broad expertise and made sure the discusssions went the right direction without side tracking. All questions that did not directly relate to the topics were parked and answered later on. I would definitely recommend Alexander to my friends/colleagues.

Great training experience - again! :-)
This was already my second training together with Alex.
I actually took this PAL-E training with Alex on purpose as I had already had a great PSPO training with him.
And also this time I can again recommend this training (and Alex as trainer :-)). I particularly like his calm way, giving the participants many open space to fill the training with lots of individual content. Alex is really experienced and knows when to stay quiet and when to drop some small hints to keep the conversation flowing.
I really liked the the case study that the we had been working through along the training. These discussions really gave me feeling on how to react appropriately as Agile Leader in many different situations and gave me the opportunity to exchange experiences with the other participants.
This training and the learning material were a very good preparation for the PAL 1 assessment.
Thank you Alex and of course all the other participants for this successful training!!! :-)

Speed up team decision making
The course PAL-E from Alex provided valuable insights into agile leadership. In our case it helped us improve and speed up decision making processes in our team tremendously. We saved quite some time by following the concepts and rules provided and discussed in this course. With that, we got a clearer & better perspective of what topics are laying ahead of us and how we can tackle them in an iterative nature. That leads us to providing more value to our customers, faster.
Thanks Alex!

Alex did a fantastic job!
Alex did a fantastic job teaching Scrum. The group exercises were particularly helpful in understanding Scrum in a practical way. Alex gave us many opportunities to ask questions and answered them all. The course material was excellent, it was well paced, and the flow / sequence of topics was very logical.
Something worth mentioning is that all the course material was on Mural, and their site went down on our first day of training. But, Alex was able to replicate the course on Miro very quickly, and get us started ASAP. Loved his commitment!

Take the PAL-EBM training with Alexander is awesome!
The PAL-EBM training is an awesome training for everyone who wants to get started empirical improve business results.
Due to his deep knowledge and brought experiences in empiricism, Scrum, and Agility, Alexander did a fantastic job in introducing Evidence-Based Management to me. Based on a case study and lots of interactive exercises the training helped me to get a deeper understanding of how to manage with evidence. Alexander did not just provide the training he made a learning experience out of it by providing additional emails, reflections, materials, and follow-up calls.
In short, if you want to learn more about Evidence-Based Management I highly recommend taking a class with Alexander.

Methoden und theoretische Grundlagen praxisnah vermittelt
nach 1,5 Jahren als PO tat es richtig gut im Training aus dem "Praxistrott" wieder frische Theoretische Grundlagen und Best-Practices vermittelt zu bekommen. Das hilft die eigene Arbeit zu reflektieren.
Das Training ist dabei aber sehr praxisorientiert ausgelegt und die Methoden werden direkt in Kleingruppen angewendet.
Ich konnte direkt nach dem Training einige neu erlernte Methoden bei meinem Produkt anwenden

Recommended training to improve your Scrum knowledge!
Alexander did a great job and put a lot of thought into organizing the two days without making you regret attending the training! The training was very interactive and it was not a dry run-through of theory.
It was full of examples for the different theory chapters of Scrum for the group to take upon. This is for sure useful because it encourages thinking along. The trainer talked about our "mistakes" and explained the theory behind why something is recommended and why not, so that you get a good feeling about the situation and already pay attention better in the next task. He listens to the participants and explains ambiguities without imposing his opinion.
No matter how well someone knows Scrum, there were always examples that make even the most experienced think about a situation and take away something new. In addition, the trainer gave helpful tips for daily work, which will certainly help. I would recommend training by Alexander and I am looking forward to my next training with him!

Fun, interesting and well paced!
I've taken some courses in agile methologies in this past year and PSM1 was my favorite. Alexander is very patient and knowledgeable. He makes you think and allows for the participants to explore questions and express their views rather than pushing to keep within the set time box of the course plan, which other classes often tend to do (and thereby also missing out on some deeper understandings in key areas). While being this flexible and agile we somehow completed the entire course plan on time without ever getting the feeling it was rushed. Fun, interesting and well paced! Highly recommended!

Ein Kanban Training mit vielen interessanten Insights
Dieser zweitägige online Kurs ging unter der Führung von Alexander wie im Flug vorbei. Das Training was super strukturiert und die Herangehensweise von kurzen Einführungsblöcken zu den Themen und den zahlreichen Gruppenarbeiten hat Spass gemacht, war sehr lehrreich und interaktiv gestaltet.
Insgesamt waren es zwei sehr informative Tage mit super vielen Inputs und einem guten Praxisbezug aus unterschiedlichen Branchen.
Ich empfehle den Kurs jedem, der mehr über Kanban Metriken und Charts lernen möchte. Darüber hinaus kriegt man mit Alexander einen sehr erfahrenen und entspannten Trainer der jederzeit auf die Wünsche der Teilnehmer eingeht.

Das war ein tolles Training. Guter Mix aus Input und selbst erarbeiten. Dadurch vergingen die zwei Tage wie im Flug. Auch der Einsatz der Tools Zoom und Mural hat mir sehr gefallen. Das Training war super vorbereitet. Wir haben immer wieder in kleineren Gruppen Übungen gemacht. Je nach Aufgabe wurde die Zusammensetzung der kleineren Gruppen beibehalten oder geändert. Das hat dazu geführt, dass die Teilnehmer sich immer besser kennengelernt haben. Wir hatten eine tolle Stimmung und Gruppendynamik. Inhaltlich gab es eine Menge Input, immer wieder mit Praxisbezug. Gerne wieder.

Time boxing as a shining example
Best time boxing ever in my live, which gives a good feeling during the training days and is also a shining example of how to ensure time boxing as a scrum master yourself. A lot of practical discussions. Trainer is open to talk about practical experiences and give hints about that. Good preparation for the certification and also for the work as a scrum master. Haven't had my personal coaching hour yet, but I am looking forward to this appointment with Alexander. Alexander also has a wider look, not only knowing scrum, but other agile methodologies as well and a lot of practical experience around software development processes.

Ownership of my first product
The class was very well organized, using virtual tools only.

Very well managed Advanced PO training

I can only recommend!
I can only recommend Alexander Hardt. He uses just the right amount of theory with spot on examples so everyone can quickly understand what the task/topic is with or without prior Scrum experience. We didn't even realise it, but we took on all the SM1 material in two days, so the exam was no problem with minimal preparation. I highly recommend Alexander as a trainer and look forward to future training courses with him!

Fascinating topic "PAL" & an excellent trainer!
Alexander Hardt made this course so interesting again virtually (because of Corona) that there was no boredom during the training days. Everyone in our course understood the content right away in such a way that we passed the exam without much learning curve (assuming SM1 & PO1). I can only recommend the subject of PAL and Alexander as a trainer and I look forward to future training courses with him!

Excellent PSPO-A class with valuable content and exciting interaction
The PSPO-A training was packed with valuable insights to benefit from supporting my Product Owner colleagues to improve our competitiveness.

I am excited to bring the practices that we covered to my team and support the product managers in adapting their stances to be more successful.

Absolute recommendation!
Most important message first:
I can totally recommend this course!
The course consisted of 7 people (6 students + Alexander Hardt as trainer) and we had a great chemistry from the very beginning.
I really liked Alexander's teaching approach:
- Introducing the PO from an abstract Agile Product Management point of view and then presenting its implementation via Scrum.
- Mixing different ways of elaboration of the course's contents: Direct presentation, time-boxed discussions and working out individual examples (by means of a fictional product) for abstract concepts.
Alexander encouraged to openly discuss our findings and to gather our individual "lessons learned". It goes without saying that Alexander was always open and eager to answer our questions, and provided an encouraging joyful atmosphere.
These two days were full of interesting information, and it never got boring.
Thank you Alex! :-)

Good online session!
We had a really good online session with Alex! He was clear and explained well, he also took his time and had patience.
The way of working with Zoom, breakout rooms and Mural was a really good way to keeping it entertaining while not being able to be physically in the same room. I know that Covid has forced all of us to go online, but I still prefer the real classroom trainings above the online ones. Specially because there are less distractions, think of: work emails & telephones, things happening at home in and outside.
Seeing also the subjects spoken and to be covered, I think personally I would have liked this training to be 3 days. Felt like there was more to discuss and review. Further it was an interesting training and gave me better insight to my new position as a PO.

Inspiring for finding new ways to improve
The first part was a good refresh about Scrum and Kanban. There were many good ideas and inspiration for combining both. If you think there is nothing you can improve in your team anymore, here is the way to develop your team even further

Excellent course with a highly recommendable trainer
Excellent course with very knowledgable and friendly trainer.
I appreciated the small online classroom and the profound tools and techniques used; also the case studies and the sharing of each other experiences.
Some excercises could be in more depth and detail to better train and learn in practice.
Trainer is highly recommended

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.

PAL essential for becoming a product leader
100% enjoyable and essential for my further career. The PAL class was full of greate knowledge and practices, which are absolutely essential for becoming a leader in agile product development. 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.

Great gift to be guided
It was a great gift to be guided through the PSM I training with Alex. Competence, experience, structure, transfer of theory into practice and participant orientation, everything was given. We all learned a lot and could pass the certification. - Thanks to Alex!

Professional Agile Leadership – Evidence-Based Management (PAL-EBM) is the newest course in the Scrum.org portfolio. To prepare the launch and our trainer community for this one-day workshop, we ran several train-the-trainer events. I enjoyed participating in one of those, and I am glad to share my experience with you.
