Had a good 2 day PSM2 at Scrum Facilitators in Amersfoort. It was not a theoretical sending but interactively discussing best practices with the group of Scrum masters and how you as a Scrum master can optimally facilitate and further expand the self-organization of a Scrum team. The lessons were facilitated by Scrum Facilitators Sjoerd Kranendonk and Jasper Alblas. Thanks for the inspiring sessions and the special location.

PSM Scrum Master I july 15, 2021 by Scrum facilitators
Jasper, Hong and Swen made the training PSM Scrum Master I fun and interesting. And with their tips and best practices it was a course where everyone could feel included. They also spent time on listening en helping with practical issues that students brought up.

Well done
Well done, because it is very difficult to keep participants connected using video conferencing. In my opinion, you did that very well by working interactively! Furthermore, it is very good to have trainers that put the theory into practice in the workplace.

You won't be Disappointed - Steve and Jasper are the BEST
This training was really life-changing and I don't say that lightly - it was life-changing because it really challenged me to change my mindset and way of thinking and basically unlearn literally all I have learnt in my career thus far.
That's not a bad thing, but it's also not easy and Jasper and Steve acknowledged this. I absolutely appreciate how honest and open they both were about the practicalities of applying what we were learning to real life.
I have been on other professional training and attended seminars and lectures countless times and I can truly say this is one of the top if not the very best training I have ever attended. So engaging, so practical, very fun. I love the way the three trainers bounced off each other and it is clear they are in complete control of all that is happening. There's also a community that you immediately become a part of by being on this training and that's amazing, because it gives me confidence that as time passes and I encounter issues or have questions, I can always turn to the Scrum Facilitators for help.
I can't say enough about this training and the trainers, so suffice it to say that you will be HELLA glad you paid for it.
Steve, Jasper, Swen-Peter, Just want to say thank you again and I will definitely be in touch in the coming weeks and months as I try to put everything you taught me into practice :)

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.

Great PSMII training
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!

I love the interaction of the training. Trainers with good knowlegde, theory versus practice. Not only boring PPT sheets. It is all very helpful that the trainers are also consultants. Therefore use cases can be shared. Due to the Covid-19 situation, the training was given to few candidates and a big space. This way of training does provide you a safe feeling during the training.

Fun and insightful PSM2 class
Jasper is an experienced trainer as well as seasoned Agile professional. He uses a mix of theory and practical examples to help us understand the Scrum Framework more better as well as tools and questions. I can absolutely recommend Jasper and the Scrum Facilitators in general to anyone for a PSM2 class.

2 days of great interactive learning
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.

Great class, enjoyed how interactive it was and learned a lot! Sjoerd and Jasper from the Scrum Faciliators are both great trainers, approachable and engaging. And though we did this training remotely, it did not take away anything from the experience. On the contrary, it showed that as a remote team we were able to interact and collaborate together effectively all throughout the activities of the training. Highly recommended for anyone involved in delivering product!

First time a PSM II clas in a virtual way. The Scrum Facilitators did a good job in facilitating this training to us all. Using the correct tooling, well prepared, and nice to see how they worked together during the training. I would say, a good alternative to the co located version where you have the true face to face conversations! Thanks !

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.

In general, very productive, easy to understand and good opportunity to network !

There is often confusion in what happens in a Sprint with regards to the Increment and releasing.
Short summary of this article: during a Sprint, one or more increments are produced. This happens when a Product Backlog Item meets the definition of "Done". At least once every Sprint, but it can happen more often. When a Product Backlog Item meets the definition of "Done" (and therefor becomes an increment), it can be released. Releasing can be done at any moment in time!
