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 class was very interactive
The class was very interactive, full of learning-by-doing and fun to do. The teachers really used the collective knowledge from the group.

Great session!
Great session! I can recommend it to not only POs; this session should be followed by all Scrum Team members AND managers of companies who take their agile adventure serious.

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.

very interactive and fun way to learn
Christian and Jasper did a great job, very interactive way to learn about the scrum framework, with exercises and continue discussions with the group.
If I should mention something to improve, I would say It becomes at some point too much, as you really need to think and ask questions yourself with no always the assistant of the trainers.
In general, very productive, easy to understand and good opportunity to network !

The Scrum Team consists of three roles. The only three roles needed in Scrum. But all needed! And all equally important to be successful. This first sentence is all there is to it. And if we would practice Scrum within our companies the way described in this first sentence we can all be successful in delivering incremental value to our customers each Sprint.

Scrum is easy to understand, yet difficult to master. The Scrum Guide says so and it's true. If you have worked with Scrum in your organization you probably recognize it also. It's not difficult to start with Scrum.

This article on Product Backlog refinement shows that Refinement is more than just a meeting where the whole Scrum Team is having a discussion. It requires and involves everyone with shared and special responsibilities.

Often I hear people say that Scrum does not take care of risk: there is no risk log, risk is not on the agenda of the Sprint Review or Retrospective as a standard agenda-item. The Development Teams need to be accountable for the quality of the product and how it's made. That's a risk right there! If there is not one person accountable for quality, being on time, within budget, building the right thing... How is risk managed in Scrum?

I need to get something off my chest. It's a personal thing, so don't mind me. But maybe it will get you thinking also. It's been on my mind for quite some time. Troublesome sometimes.... Here it goes.

In the "Scrum from the trenches" blog post series I like to address topics that I encounter in practicing Scrum in the real world, with real teams. Sharing where theory comes into practice, what challenges teams encounter along the way and ways to help Scrum practitioners use the power of empiricism to overcome these challenges.
