Super training with a lot of practical exercises. Due to the small size with three participants, Alex was able to take a lot of time for us and also discuss things with us beyond the exercises. It was a lot of fun and I have already adapted the first things in my daily work.

I had a great Training with Alex
I had a great Training with Alex. He's a patient and capable teacher and took plenty of time to answer questions and get into our experiences working with scrum/agile methodology. The course material he provided was very good and will accompany my development for quite a time to come I suppose.
I wholeheartedly recommend his training.
And yes, I succesfully completetd the PSK I certification assessment.
Thx a lot Alex!

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!

Exzellentes Training mit starken Ansätzen für die Praxis
Exzellentes Training mit starken Ansätzen für die Praxis, das ganze garniert mit vielen Übungen und Case Studies.

Alex is the most structured, engaging, and competent trainer I met so far. He clarifies all your questions. After 3 classes with him I can say that he is the best trainer I came across. What I especially appreciate is his support and guidance beyond the training sessions. I value him highly and look forward to doing more agile business with him. If you consider learning more about Professional Scrum, I absolutely recommend working 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.

Excellent (virtual classroom) training, in fact the best I had so far over a duration of 2 days. Alex is a great trainer, great facilitator and is a role model for all about Scrum. His usage of Mural also gave me lots of insights how to effectively use such technologies for your online collaboration success. 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. Dadurch entsteht ein interaktives Lernen und man erarbeitet/erweitert sein Wissen über agile Methoden anstatt einem ,,Vortrag'' zu lauschen. 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. Alexander led us through the course and stimulated the group discussion so we could collaboratively took the ownership of our very first product developed in Scrum environment. 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
Alex understood it very well to keep the timebox under control but also give the participants the possibility to exchange their hands-on knowledge in the role of a Product Owner in their respective environments. This is helping very much to get a better "grip" on the advance PO role.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

I want to point out the trainer's motivation. I was unfortunately only able to attend 70% of the time. Alexander Hardt used some of his private time to show and thought me the missed parts.

Great training
Great training. Alexander did a fantastic job of guiding us through the metric jungle and giving us the basics of how to use Kanban for Scrum teams. Would attend training again anytime.

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
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.

The training was great. Alex was very cool, made the team work well together (we had an awesome group of 6 people), was open for any question and was able to explain the material even though I'm not from the software development scene (I'm an HR professional).

Excellent (virtual classroom) training
Excellent (virtual classroom) training, in fact the best I had so far over a duration of 2 days. Alex is a great trainer, great facilitator and is a role model for all about Scrum. His usage of Mural also gave me lots of insights how to effectively use such technologies for your online collaboration success. I can recommend Alex as trainer and as professional in anything related to Scrum and Scrum.org.

Awesome!!!
Sehr gut vorbereitetes Online Training. Alex geht anhand der Erfahrungen und Level der Teilnehmer durch das Programm. Dadurch entsteht ein interaktives Lernen und man erarbeitet/erweitert sein Wissen über agile Methoden anstatt einem ,,Vortrag'' zu lauschen. 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. Alexander led us through the course and stimulated the group discussion so we could collaboratively took the ownership of our very first product developed in Scrum environment. 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
Alex understood it very well to keep the timebox under control but also give the participants the possibility to exchange their hands-on knowledge in the role of a Product Owner in their respective environments. This is helping very much to get a better "grip" on the advance PO role.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
