Dominik Maximini

Trainer has excellent background and experience. Was fun to attend the meeting, and lots of information will be remembered. Passed PSPO I exam in frist try with high score.

Very good Scrum Master Training, with a lot of good practical and realisitic examples. Dominik always took into account our needs and questions. I learned a lot about Scrum and my role as a Scrum Master. Thank you!

It was fun to collaborate with peers during that training as well as challenge thoughts and ideas. Dominik made the entire two days a very good experience. Thanks for that.

Dominik is a great trainer for Scrum and agile methods. He manages the balancing act between dogma and practice and confidently conveys practical, usable methods.

Interesting and close to the daily business.

Well-structured content with a mix of theory and practice! Really cool exercises that provide different views on the same theory.

Great hands-on training with practical examples

Really well structured training with a lot of real work insights. Can really recommend this coach

The content was exceptionally informative and the delivery style was engaging, making for a highly enriching learning experience.

gute Verbindung von Dogma und Praxis

Good group size, great tutor and very helpful practical examples during the course! Dominik has brought the content across very well and I have learned a lot

The trainer has a deep knowledge about Scrum. Together with many examples from his consulting practise, he does classes that you can enjoy and learn from.

I took the “Professional Scrum Facilitation Skills” course with Dominik from ValueRise Consulting. It gives a great overview of moderation methods with a lot of group work to put what you have learned into practice. In my opinion, ideal for beginners in the area of agile methods and facilitation skills, advanced participants will already know many methods. Some basic Scrum knowledge helps with one or another task but is not absolutely necessary. Dominik is a very experienced moderator who guides you through the course in an entertaining way.

Das Facilitation Skills Training von Valuerise / Dominik war absolut herausragend! Die Schulung war gut strukturiert und hat uns durch die verschiedensten Facilitation Techniken und Methoden geführt. Besonders haben mir die interaktive Gestaltung des Trainings sowie die gelungene Verbindung zu SCRUM und seinen Werten und Prinzipien gefallen. Die Gruppenarbeiten und der Austausch mit andern Teilnehmern waren sehr wertvoll für mich. Nach dem Training bin ich voll motiviert, mich in dieser Richtig weiterzuentwickeln und die Kompetenzen, die im Training vermittelt wurden, versuche ich täglich anzuwenden. Ich kann die Schulung jedem empfehlen, der seine Fähigkeiten bzgl. Moderation, Problemlösung und Servant Leadership erweitern möchte.

A very good training with Dominik Maximini as an perfect coach.

Thanks Dominik for this very interesting two-day training with a lot of exciting discussions about what does it mean to be a "good" Product Owner in a not always easy organizational environment. It was amazing and helped a lot. Additionally, I was well prepared to pass the PSPO certification on the first try. I can highly recommend Dominik as a trainer and the course itself.

Dominik is a tough and excellent teacher. Was a pleasure to have this class with him. Full recommendation.

The training with Dominik Maximini was great! I had the opportunity to learn a lot of useful facilitation techniques and on the other hand I was well prepared to pass the PSFS certification on the first try. I can highly recommend Dominik as a trainer and the PSFS course itself.

Es war ein super Training mit vielen Praxisbeispielen! Wer sich schon immer gefragt hat wie Facilitation und Moderation geht und welche Ziele dabei erreicht werden können ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben! Danke Dominik!

I participated in PSM I preparation class by Dominik Maximini. It was a 2 day training with very friendly atmosphere, structured and memorable information, discussions, highlighted key points. What led to successfully passing the assessment in the next few days after the training. Thank you Dominik :)

Dominik's PSM I training is pure gold for beginners. This is one of the best online training I ever participated in. I was lucky to join his 2-day session. It's brilliantly structured with a perfect mix of theory and practice. We tackled real-world cases and group exercises, diving deep into the subject. For someone new to the IT world like me, learning from Dominik's vast experience is priceless. I highly recommend his training to fellow novice Scrum Masters. He's approachable and creates a friendly atmosphere throughout. His coaching, mentoring, and wealth of experience are unbeatable, plus the extra materials are a bonus. Participating in Dominik's Scrum Master training was a transformative experience. Thank you, Dominik, for your outstanding guidance and support. I couldn't be more satisfied with the knowledge and skills I gained.

A great trainer who teaches Scrum in a very clear and understandable way. The content was clearly oriented towards Scrum and was expanded with useful examples from practice.

I participated in 2-days training with Dominik and it was definitely a great experience! First of all, I really enjoyed Dominik's presentation skills, everything was easy to understand, clear, logical, pleasant and positive. 2 full-time days passed quickly and I didn't feel tired or exhausted, instead I feel inspired. I liked the balance of practice and theory, examples, cases, group tasks. Another great thing is that we were discussing how theory correlates with the reality and what we can do to improve. You learn not just SCRUM as a framework, but also you are 'upgrading' your Agile mindset and start looking at things from a different angle. I can recommend this course and I will definitely come again to another one.

It was an excellent training. Dominik also shows very well the differences that exist between the dogma of SCRUM and reality. The training is individually adapted to the group within the possible framework. All participants can express wishes and suggestions for change at any time, which Dominik also implements if possible. The training has significantly improved my understanding of the roles of the product owner in a project. The content is developed live and experienced through case studies.

Excelent experience with Dominik as trainer, who linked practice and theory very well and greately integrated the SCRUM principles and useful tools for Product Owners into the training itself

Clear visual explanations. Exercices helpful, well timed. Discussion sometimes badly timed, but this depends a lot on the participants. Previous experience with scrum helps make the most of the training.

Sehr interessantes Training, Dominik Maximini vermittelt in lockerer Atmosphäre die Grundlagen und Werte von SCRUM. Dabei kommen auch praktische Anwendung, Beispiele aus dem eigenen realen Umfeld und vor allem der Spaß nicht zu kurz. Ich habe noch nie während einer Schulung so oft und so herzhaft gelacht. Gerne und immer wieder.

Das Training war äusserst wertvoll. Wir haben die Grundlagen von Scrum gelernt, praktische Anwendungen kennengelernt und auch verstanden, warum und wann Scrum eingesetzt werden sollte. Ich freue mich darauf, das Gelernte nun im Alltag umzusetzen.

new topics, deeper insides on a PM/PO Role with good examples and exercises

It is a perfect mix between the pure Scrum teaching and the everyday problems of your own company. The seminar is very well structured and entertaining. I can highly recommend Dominik as a trainer because he communicates clearly and honestly.

I finally learned what to do (and not to do) in my job as a Scrum Master! This was a very funny and energetic training and the expertise from Dominik just filled several other gaps in my knowledge.

Great class as always with Dominik!

Lot's of insights and detailed knowledge for a professional PO. Sometimes a little bit more time for practise (how to transfer to my daily business) could be helpful.

Well structured training and good preparation for certification as well as a good alignment to test and sharpen the knowledge as Scrum Master.

Das Training mit Dominik war sehr abwechslungsreich und gehaltvoll gestaltet. Ich hatte jederzeit die Möglichkeit, meine Fragen zu stellen und auch verschiedene Perspektiven mit der Gruppe und dem Trainer zu diskutieren. Besonders gut gefallen haben mir die kleinen Reflexionsanregungen nach jedem neuen Input, die mir sehr dabei helfen, kleinschrittig neue Impulse in meinen Arbeitsalltag mitzunehmen und auszuprobieren. Insgesamt konnte ich nicht nur inhaltlich viel mitnehmen, sondern mir gleichzeitig im Workshop-Design und den verwendeten Moderationstechniken einiges abschauen. Ich würde das Training bei Dominik jederzeit wieder buchen.

I attended the PSM II class lectured by Dominik and I liked every Minute of it. He was on point and always had an answer to questions from the audience. It wasn't a Power Point monologue but a very hands-on group activity and learning adventure. I passed the PSM II assessment just one day after the class.

The class was not only entertaining, but also very educational. Dominik is a great trainer. Thank you very much!

Very experienced trainer that can pass on his knowledge to the students in good and well rounded way.

Dominik hat sehr verständlich durch die Inhalte geführt. Dabei wurde es nicht trocken oder zu theoretisch sondern immer wieder durch Übungen aufgelockert und vertieft

Even though I am not a fan of online classes this one was fantastic! The amount of interaction and theory just seems about right. Dominik is a really good couch who knows how to reach out to people and how to transfer a lot of information in an entertaining way! The class was diverting and will be very useful for the challenges facing in my job.

It was a very well organized and interactive online course. The break out sessions very only four people which led to very good collaborative work on the tasks.

I had a professional online course with Dominik and learned a lot. He is very experienced and has a great and fun way to teach.

Das PSM Seminar bei Dominik war super lehrreich. Die Kombination aus Theorie und praxisnahen Hilfestellungen und Tipps war perfekt. Von Dominik's umfangreicher Erfahrung und Kompetenz kann man wirklich viel lernen und für sich mitnehmen. Auch ist es ihm gelungen, dass wir viel Spaß am Lernen hatten. Definitiv empfehlenswert.

It was an eye-opener for many advanced topics and also it would have been truly amazing if we would have had more than just 2 days, in order to dive deeper into the chapters from day 2.

I really liked the course and the interactive way the topics were taught by Dominik! Good group as well!

Ich durfte bei Dominik das PSPO 1 Training absolvieren. Die Inhalte wurden sehr spannend vermittelt und mir hat die interaktive Gestaltung sehr gefallen. Dominik ist ein sehr kompetenter Trainer, der immer offen ist für Fragen. Kann ich nur empfehlen! :-)

Das Review bezieht sich auf die Scrum Professional Product Owner 1 Schulung. Die Schulung mit Dominik hat mir sehr gefallen. Er hat die Inhalte spannend vermittelt und ein gutes, interaktives Lehrkonzept gehabt. Besonders hat mir gefallen, dass er nicht nur dogmatisches Scrum (relevant für die Zertifizierung) sondern auch viele praktische Aspekte (relevant für den Arbeitsalltag) gelehrt hat. Ergänzend zur Schulung gab es angemessene Unterlagen zur Wiederholung und zum vertiefenden Selbststudium. Durch die Schulung wurde ich gut und erfolgreich (gemessen am Prüfungsergebnis) auf die Zertifizierung vorbereitet.

Sehr kurzweiliges Training mit viel Praxisbezug und guten Impulsen für den eigenen Projektalltag. Danke Dominik!

Working on a case study makes the attendants apply their newly acquired knowledge directly. Dominik is always open for discussions and brings great value with his deep knowledge. Always great being in a training with Dominik! Thanks!

Thank you Dominik. I really enjoyed the training. It was a good combination of theory and practice and I really liked the way you responded to individual questions from the participants and turned them into added value for the entire group.

A ton of information. Not only the theory but also praxis examples, that help assimilate it all. I was also able to relate to my own cases/experiences, which will definitely help implementing what I learned. But most impressive, I was able to manage to stay from 9am to 5pm absolutely concentrated, because the coach/trainer (Dominik Maximini) has a very good and didactic way to conduct the class. I can only recommend this class/trainer!

Excellent PSM Training! Great trainer with a lot of experience and perfect balance between theory and practice.

Great Trainer, very Competent and open for Questions. Explains why he is using Methods on us and how they work -> real time experience of usability and. He is drwaing a good line between Scrum-Dogma and practical Use. Explains his own Problems and how he solved them (Now I get a new Tree planted, but my Review is honest, oh, and i like Squirrels, please dont cook them, cats are also no Option)

Great training with the right balance of SCRUM Dogma and practical tips and interaction

Great Class, would do it again!

A perfect mix of information, activity and group work. Lively discussion in the group and a smart, fleixible and challanging trainer. Thanks Dominik, it was as always a pleasure.

Great workshop, very interesting informations over two days.

Great experience, very inspiring, perfect balance between theory and practice

I enjoyed my time in this course quite a lot. It was not boring at all. Dominik led the course with humor and had no problem animating all the antendees. He made an effort to include our wishes and expanded on topics we had a lot of questions about. Despite this it was no problem to get through the whole material.

very practical and deep dive training, provided by D. Maximini

Ein tolles Training. Der Trainer war nicht nur freundlich und kompetent, sondern konnte diese Kompetenz auch vermitteln. Vielen Dank

Two excellent days with plenty insights & take aways for the role of an PO in our organisation! I have enjoyed the class especially due to its mix between theoretical input and a case study which was worked on in smaller groups. There was enough room for discussion and exchange with other participants as well as for individual questions.

Dominik ist ein herausragender Trainer der sichtbar die Werte von Scrum lebt. Ich habe wenige Trainings erlebt, die mich so abgeholt haben. Sein enormes Wissen verpackt er nicht nur zielgruppengerecht sondern rundet es mit Erfahrungen und echten Fallbeispielen aus vielen Jahren Praxis ab.

Sehr hilfreiches Training, viele Praxisbeispiele und Übungen. Auch auf individuelle Fragen wurde ausführlich eingegangen. Mehr kann man sich nicht wünschen :)

I enjoyed this class, because of two reasons: it went very dynamically and at the exactly right tempo for me AND there were a lot of case studies and practical excercises, that I‘ve enjoyed. After some additional short preparation I‘ve passes the certificatuon very well. Thanx to Dominik for the interesting and entertaining class! I recomend it to everyone.

Great and very comprehensive training! Would have loved a little more time for the practical parts at the end of the second day, but feel very much prepared for the coming steps and further learning on my own and with my team.

great course, Dominik has a clear understanding of scrum and a substantial experience in cases and impediments.I've learned a lot!

The instructor has extensive and very good practical experience. The content was very well presented.

Outstanding! I can only recommend this diverting training with Dominik learning Scrum and preparing for PSM I. A perfect balance between dogma and reality. Scrum knowledge is well orchestrated with case studies . The “Squirrel-Values-Case" continues to have effects until today! 😉 Probably one of the best trainings I have ever attended.

Good structured. Great mix between reality and dogma.

Der Kurs hat mich begeistert. Sowohl die Theorie als auch Praxis wurden sehr gut vermittelt. Obwohl das Event rein virtuelle stattgefunden hat, wurde es nie langweilig.

Two quite intensive days of training with a lot of new information. Very valuable for my daily business with useful practical exercises. Very profound trainer with a lot of experience.

Perfect mix of agile methods and startup mentality. Perfect fit and help for our current situation, looking forward to do more with Dominik.

The training with Dominik was a very exciting and practical experience. He used many examples and exercises to enhance the learning effect and make the workshop more interesting. In addition, he always made sure that each of us understood the core concepts of SCRUM. I can only recommend this trainer!

Lots of additional methods and tools to support the basics. We moved along a good practical example and Dominik also reacted flexibly on the requests of the course. I fully recommend the training for every Product Owner!

very professional trainer. Having some basic knowledge about scrum, it was a very good pace to follow along the content. Everything was well explained. Questions were answered immediately.

Dominik hat die nötige Praxiserfahrung und ist ein super Trainer. Wir haben in dem Kurs viel gelernt, hatten die Zeit für spannende Diskussionen und es hat sehr viel Spass gemacht. Gerne wieder in einem weiteren Kurs!

More than Scrum Dominik is a perfect coach who has a huge experience in scrum projects and development. Moreover he gives a lot of practical examples within the course and is challenging your mindset. This course will help me adopt scrum methods to business environment and I also took few more learning about people management from Dominik.

Very constructive and informative training in casual atmosphere. Focus on stances and approaches instead of generic solutions. Much group interaction and less presentation. Many Liberating Structures and great "self-made structures" too. Free follow-up meeting two weeks after the training.

Overall, the class was really great. A good balance between information and exercises. The class was remote-only and it was very well organized with MS teams.

Very good class, clear and/but always friendly management from Dominik. I think it´s about having clear the main principles of Scrum and this goal has been definitively reached in my case. The group exercises are not easy beacause of lack of empathy and human touch due to the "remote-working"-mode but of course this is due to the overall situation and not a specific pain point for the course.

Highly motivated trainer who fosters an interactive environment with lots of fruitful discussions!

Thanks a lot Dominik! You are an excellent and experienced trainer and you managed to perfectly balance theorie and praxis in this course. I could learn a lot and gain a lot of insights on how to improve in my role as a Product Owner. 2 days training is very intense (especially in a remote format) and I believe in person would have been even more efficient. But I think we made great use of the setup and managed to learn a lot nevertheless.

excellent trainer interesting methods varied exercises good exchange

This advanced course provided deep practical insights and learnings as well as great opportunity for discussion with other experienced agile practitioners. Dominik and Boris are extremely competent trainers who also managed to create a fun and relaxed atmosphere throughout the course.

Good trainer! Good online Course!

Before the class I was a little skeptical about the online implementation, but a smart selection of online tools made great interactive training possible. Dominik was a great trainer. It was a pleasure.

I learnt a lot during the 2-day PO course with Dominik. He shared a lot of real life examples which was very helpful. Dominik clearly has a passion for Scrum. Thanks again for this great training experience.

Even though this training was held remotely, it was still very interactive and entertaining. Our Coach Dominik made the best of the situation and the available tools (Zoom & Mural) to keep it interesting and engaging at all times. I'll gladly be back for the PSPO II class in the future!

Tolle Schulung, toller Teacher, gerne wieder für PSPO 2!

A great training with a great coach. In Corona times it also works without presence, the division into seven half days was very helpful to process the contents. Thanks a lot, Dominik!

We were pretty lucky getting Dominik Maximini and Boris Steiner, two excellent trainers and coaches! We had many great discussions during the PSM II training. They relly helped us understand the deeper meaning of the values and principles behind scrum. They created an open and trusted environment, within each participant could speek freely and ask questions. Thank you very much for these 2 days filled with many advices, new inspirations, new tools and the right mindset to become a better Scrum Master.

Very good trainer and course. Good mix of knowledge transfer and practical exercises. Definitely to be recommended

I really enjoyed the combined PSPOSM class. Although I already knew Scrum I discovered many aspects where I didn't know Jack. I think the combined class and the real world experience of D. Maximini helped joining product owners and scrum masters at our company.

Pleasant atmosphere and good mixture of theory and practice. Thanks Dominik!

This training was absolutely great! Dominik taught us everything to pass the exam. We´ve learned a lot and also had a lot of fun.

This training perfectly prepared myself for the PSPO1 certification. The trainer is very well qualified and supports the group in self managing their tasks and left enough room for personal questions.

Dominik is a great scrum trainer with tons of practical knowledge from many real life projects. You can feel that he is really living the scrum values in everything he does and passes this on to the training attendees. The training material he provided and the break out sessions really helped in passing the certification exam.

I found the seminar overall to be really good. It contained a great many details not only about Scrum and agile in generell, but about product management and the PO role in specific as well. Some times I thought we were talking too much about off the track details, but of course that has to do with the individual questions and experiences that everyone brings to the class. So I concider it a plus there was the opportunity to talk about these individual topics, too, most of which were probably interesting and relevant for all participants. The one real downer was the end of the seminar. Granted, it will be remembered, and the lesson behind it will be as well. After working with fake, unrealistic, made up example projects for the sake of going through all the phases of product creation - knowing that this was nothing anyone would ever get behind if it wasn't in the context of the seminar - being hit with the "you're not being honest about your product expectation"-hammer does not leave a very nice feeling about it behind. This is neither a good end to the seminar, nor is it a good start into the weekend. The teacher even admitted that the whole seminar was designed to lure us into this spot just to prove that we were not staying true to the scrum values - which, in turn, I don't think itself is staying true to the scrum values and therefore loses all legitimacy. I would strongly recommend to rethink this approach! I would actually subtracked two stars for this downside if it wasn't for the rest of the overall great seminar. Thank you!

The class was very informative and also fun. It had a good mixture of theoratical and practical parts and Dominik did a great job explaining how to transfere the theory to real life situations.
