Interactive training by Hong and Jenny
Got a 2-day PSM I training by Hong and Jenny. Really enjoyed their interactive way of teaching as opposed to standardized presentations. For me this way of teaching encourages a 'scrum' mindset, rather than simply memorize all the rules / guidelines. This made learning for the exam a bit more difficult, but I think in the long run is more beneficial.

Een hele interactieve Scrum training met veel post-its!
Hong & Jenny hebben een super leuke en interactieve Scrum training in elkaar gezet. De tijd voelt snel te gaan, pas aan het eind merk je hoeveel stof ze hebben besproken, omdat je toch op een leuke manier heel veel leert. In de training is er altijd de mogelijkheid om vragen te stellen. Zelfs achteraf, wanneer je gaat oefenen voor de examen, zijn ze super open en behulpzaam. Tip: neem wel de scrum guide even goed door, als je nooit eerder met Scrum hebt gewerkt.

Original and creative workshop!
During a two-day workshop, Hong and Jenny used original and creative exercises to guide me through the essentials of Scrum. This workshop, combined with the clear explanations and practical stories, gave me the knowledge and tools to achieve my PSM1 certificate.

The training organized by Hong Chee Hsia and Jenny Yung was a very fun, interactive and instructive training. The facilitators made sure the training stayed interesting the whole time. They shared a lot of experiences with their encounters of practicing scrum in de real business world. There were a lot of examples of Scrum best practices but also examples were Scrum was used poorly, this made the difference between best practices and poor use of the framework quite clear. Also prepared us well for the exam and let us fully think within a Scrum mindset to fully understand the ins and outs of the scrum Framework.
In short: A job well done by the facilitators of the training and they deserve a big recommendation to every one who wants to get familiar with Scrum.

A great way of learning Scrum.
A great way of learning Scrum.
Personally the way of teaching is really important.
You can always have a powerpoint slide and teach people the things that they have to know. But by playing random games and challenging each other with questions. you wont be learning only but also having fun and get know things even better.
Thank you very much for the lessons.

Great training!
Scrum isn't that hard to understand, but at the beginning you need to have a new mindset for it. The guys from scrum-facilitators uses, besides slides, posters, exercise-cards a simple but very effective way of showing you, that new mindset. They also use LEGO! It looks funny at the beginning, "Are we going to build something with LEGO?" But it gives you the correct mindset during that complete learning process of scrum. Thanks for the Scrum class!

PSM II course - great experience delivered by Scrum Facilitators
I have attended 2-day PSM II training (May 20-21, 2021) delivered by the amazing team of Scrum Facilitators (Chee-Hong Hsia, Ziryan Salayi and Swen-Peter Ekkebus). The experience, the energy exchange and simply knowledge that they shared with us was truly great! The training was highly interactive, well-structured and engaging. Also, our Scrum Facilitators made our learning journey fun! Should you wish to advance and grow further in your Scrum Master role, this is a right course to take! I was also delighted that I managed to successfully pass the exam after the first attempt :)) Thank you so much Scrum.org & Scrum Facilitators!

It was a nice training that Jasper and Hong provided for us. Very interactive and making good use of Zoom and Mural. If you did your preparations up front and read a lot about Kanban and Scrum you will not hear a lot of new stuff but discussing how things will work in practise is definitely useful.

I really liked the class PSMII with Scrum Facilitators. Jasper and Chee-Hong did a great job facilitating the training online. A lot was discussed in breakout rooms, where we were able to discuss all kinds of agile topics. Because of the training, I really understood the essence of a professional scrumaster, so the exam was'nt too hard for me in the end!

A fantastic PSPO 2 day course!
I really enjoyed the 2-day course and found it a really beneficial couple of days.
Steve and Ziryan were fantastic trainers, providing a wealth of experience and knowledge.
I was concerned before the course, it would be just an extended session looking at how to pass the certification and was pleasantly surprised with how to course was interactive and gave actual tools and techniques to use in the future.
I loved the multi-culture feel of the group and spending time with people situated in different countries, making some new connections and friends for the future.

Leerzaam en nuttig!
Na 3 maanden gewerkt te hebben in een development team, zonder scrumkennis nu de scrummaster training gevolgd. Veel viel op zijn plek, het kwartje viel. Nog steeds veel te leren maar dankzij jullie ben ik heel wat stappen verder. Zin om meer te leren en te beginnen als scrummaster. Veel liever was ik fysiek in een trainingsruimte geweest, dat praat toch wat makkelijker maar in deze tijden kan het niet anders dan online. Knap hoe jullie een online training hebben gegeven!

2 days of great, interactive learning. Especially the alternation of exercises, video's presentation and Q&A made it a valuable experience. The facilitators are able to bring theory and relevant experience to the table and don't have a fixed mindset: good argumentation can change the answer within the tolerance of the scrum framework.

Insightful 2 days with top of the bill trainers!
PSM2 training focuses on practical experience and the translation of it to theory. So on one hand you want to have an energetic, serious, knowledgeable and diverse group of participants to learn with/from. On the other hand you need trainers who possess all the above as well, to guide you through the program.
Lucky me I had both. The training was very well structured and with their enthusiasm Hong and Jasper flew us through the whole program. I say flew because time flew by.
The training made me realise even more that the role of Scrum Master is full of ambiguity and therefore to a large extent viable for own interpretation. Talking experiences with 12 other participants made me more confident about how to handle all this.

Fun but long
It was a nice break in the usual work week. There was a lot of repeating everything we learned so that was really helpful. We also had parts where we experienced working in scrum teams and that was very cool to do. I did think that the course could have been a bit shorter, I had the feeling that some things took too much time in my opinion. The message had come across but then we kept discussing about it. But maybe I'm the only one with that opinion because the other course members seemed to value those discussions.

Best teacher ever
When it comes to scrum, Hong knows everything! The way he teaches the class with lots of interaction was very helpful. I prefer his methods above one-sided teaching methods like a powerpoint presentation for example.

Hong was very enthousiastic and well organized. His unique and interactive way of teaching conveyed the knowledge in a clear and effective way, seamlessly clarifying all concepts. More importantly he leads by example all the Scrum values. Great job!

The workshop was presented with great enthousiasm and it explains well what scrum is and what it is not. Illustrative examples are often given, which are very supportive, as well as the many interactive exercises. After this course one should have a clear understanding of Scrum.

Insightful 2 days with top of the bill trainers!
PSM2 training focuses on practical experience and the translation of it to theory. So on one hand you want to have an energetic, serious, knowledgeable and diverse group of participants to learn with/from. On the other hand you need trainers who possess all the above as well, to guide you through the program.
Lucky me I had both. The training was very well structured and with their enthusiasm Hong and Jasper flew us through the whole program. I say flew because time flew by.
The training made me realise even more that the role of Scrum Master is full of ambiguity and therefore to a large extent viable for own interpretation. Talking experiences with 12 other participants made me more confident about how to handle all this.

The Professional Scrum Master 1 training was really great, and also educational. Our Professional Scrum Master 1 Trainer (Chee Hong Hsia), taught the lessons in a very fun and educational way.
Due to his way of teaching, i passed my professional scrum master 1 examination.
Good luck Chee Hong with your future classes and trainings.

Informative and interactive
Informative and interactive training to help you understand the basics of scrum. The training consists mostly of small workshops that keep you engaged and facilitate interaction and discussion. In the end this is the ideal preparation for the exam.

Fun but long
It was a nice break in the usual work week. There was a lot of repeating everything we learned so that was really helpful. We also had parts where we experienced working in scrum teams and that was very cool to do. I did think that the course could have been a bit shorter, I had the feeling that some things took too much time in my opinion. The message had come across but then we kept discussing about it. But maybe I'm the only one with that opinion because the other course members seemed to value those discussions.

This training by Hong was professionally organized and many exercises were done to improve your coaching skills. We also learned what misunderstandings are when applying the scrum method.

Correct Mindset
The class did not help me to be more prepared for the PSM2 exam but it does help me to get in the right mind-set to get prepared.

PSMII training with Chee Hong Hsia
I realli liked Chee Hong Hsia but his co-facilitator(she was an inhouse colleague) was not that great. Every time so was talking there was a lot of confusion.

Solid introduction to Scrum with enthusiastic hosts who obviously had good experience with the framework. Kept to time and gave good examples. Could have been more explanation of some of the concepts and areas were glossed over in places. But otherwise useful . Thank you.

How effective are your Scrum Events if you can't even book a room? This is an issue that many teams in real life are struggling with. In this blog, I'll share an approach that one of my teams is currently experimenting with, and it seems to be working for them. This blog aims to utilize all the learnings that we had to do due to Covid-19 and use them in today's reality. Maybe it's useful, maybe it isn't.

Forget all these Agile Maturity Scans which are often treated as management reports and too focussed on the mechanical side of "do these things and the maturity goes up". Change itself should be considered an empirical journey with no end state. It’s always on the move, so start with making your transformation brutally transparent.

So there is Scrum and there is 'an implementation of Scrum'. Why is it important to understand the difference?
I hope that after reading this blog, you will realise that many Scrum conversations are actually not about Scrum, but "an implementation of Scrum" and you didn't even realise it.

If Scrum were to be reduced to one purpose and one only, it would be the creation of a "Done" increment. Although the DoD serves as a crucial part of Scrum, it is also often neglected by many Scrum teams. Try out the DoD EvoCycle, a simple technique to effectively manage your Definition of Done.

Scrum is simple to understand. The Scrum Guide is just 19 pages. Over the years, I've met many Scrum practitioners who have never read the Scrum Guide or they have read it once and once only. I believe there's something special about the Scrum Guide and because of this, it's important that we consider reading the Scrum Guide as an empirical process itself.
