PSPO Training
Very well organized, it was very valuable, and I think the final use cases, where we are faced with real scenarios helps a lot to put the knowledge to test.

Francesco is an exceptional trainer
Francesco is an exceptional PSPO trainer who combines deep subject-matter expertise with excellent communication skills. His ability to explain complex concepts clearly and patiently makes a real difference, especially in a hybrid learning setup. He creates an open and welcoming environment where all questions are encouraged, and he takes the time to clarify doubts thoroughly. His calm and thoughtful approach made the sessions not only informative but also highly engaging. I truly appreciated his dedication to ensuring that every participant felt supported throughout the course.

Professional Scrum Master Training
I recently completed the Professional Scrum Master Training and had a truly valuable experience. The course was well-structured, with a thoughtful balance of knowledge sharing, practical exercises, and well-timed breaks that helped maintain focus and engagement throughout.
A key contributor to the success of the training was our facilitator, Francesco Macri. Francesco’s approach made a real difference—he has a talent for breaking down complex concepts into clear, relatable explanations that are easy to grasp, even for those new to Scrum. His facilitation style was engaging and supportive, encouraging participation and discussion without ever feeling forced.
Overall, I came away from the training with a deeper understanding of Scrum and a solid foundation to build upon. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to enhance their Scrum knowledge—and if you get a chance to attend a session facilitated by Francesco Macri, you're in excellent hands.

About Francesco
My mission is to help people create products that truly matter by using agile principles in a way that works in real life.
I have worked as a Developer, Scrum Master and Product Owner in agencies, start ups and big companies, so I know the challenges teams face every day. Over the years, I have also mentored and coached colleagues into becoming Scrum Masters and Product Owners, supporting them with tailored learning paths. As an Agile Community of Practice Lead, I learned how to connect people and share knowledge in a way that sticks, and I bring that spirit into every class.
Today, I am an Agile Trainer at the Mercedes Benz.io Academy and an Engineering Manager focused on agile leadership. This keeps me close to modern technologies like AI and ensures that what I teach is up to date, practical and ready to use in your own work.
My classes are interactive and hands on. We dive into real product challenges so you can practice new skills, gain confidence and walk away with tools you can apply in your work.
