Great online course for POs in beginning of their journey.
Chad and Jeff kept the group very well engaged in conversations and activities throughout the course. Great balance between presentations, chats and activities with other team members. And effective use of the online tools. Recommend for all POs in beginning of their journeys.

Highly recommended. Chad and Jeff have tons of knowledge about the subject, and the format of the delivery keeps the class engaged in and out.

Teach Scrum, not Development
The training was well organized and well-delivered. The leaders were fun, knowledgeable, and brought a lot to the session. However, I found there to be zero value in the time spent building a website. We are already working in software development and don't need to experience what chaos feels like. Understanding and applying scrum would mean more if we spent the time applying scrum or talking through scrum, instead of and doing real-world development. I would have liked to spend more time talking about how the principles of scrum, as taught by Jeff and Chad, apply to our real-world business environment. Translate things like Increments and PBI's into User Stories or Epics or subtasks or whatever language and approaches we're using now. Maybe I misunderstood the point of the two days, but in my opinion, doing development doesn't help me to learn the facts and the correct approach for scrum and agile methodology. It teaches me more about development, which is not something I need.

PSK for the win
This was one of the best virtual experiences for Scrum and Kanban training I've attended in years. The trainers made the impact, kept people engaged, and knew their content. Having the breakouts and mixing up the groups of people interacting was huge fun.

Awesome
Jeff & Chad are awesome. Answered every questions i had. They were very thorough as well.

Great Instructors and accessible course material
The instructors, Jeff and Chad, were the best scrum.org trainers I have experienced so far, and I have two other scrum.org certifications and have attended other courses.

Very helpful
Very helpful. I am familiar with Scrum from a prior engagement, and I liked the way the course highlighted some of the ways Scrum has evolved and definitions changed. The guidance on how Scrum fits into corporate structures was also very valuable. (The last course I took completely omitted that.)

Virtual PSPO-A Class with Entrepreneurial Topics
Virtual. Great class with a focus on entrepreneurship. I liked all the tools I learned about and took away from this advanced class. Since I had taken the PSPO class last year, this built on that foundation so I found it helpful. Chad and Jeff are high energy instructors who kept the momentum going and respected hourly breaks to keep the students fresh. Real-life examples were great for context. Hopefully I'll be able to take another one of their classes in-person in the near future. Chad even closed us out with a live musical performance. I would have liked to see the virtual class's price reduced due to the absence of in-person logistics and operational expenses. Thank you for a great class.

Virtual or Physical, No Difference
Having taken an in person class with Chad before, both Chad and Jeff have found a way to deliver excellent content virtually while still giving the same level of energy I felt in a different physically attended class. I am excited to bring a lot of the materials taught here and apply them to my own endeavors.

Jeff and Chad did a great job mixing in a lot of activities to keep class engaged. Able to avoid lecture format for most of the 2 days. A lot of breakout sessions followed by group discussion. We were already running scrum and they are helping us move to a more scaled scrum or professional scrum environment.

I always love the thought provoking conversation and topics of these classes and the coaches. I would love to see more original exercises and not so much of the Liberating Structures. As unique and compelling as these exercises are, I am starting to see many of them being reused now that this is the "buzz". I think our instructors are so awesome that they could probably create their own content and give it a cool buzz name.

About Jeff
I am a speaker, trainer, and agile coach. I have been a Product Owner, Scrum Master and Development Team member. I have worked with enterprise companies to small start-ups. While working with many teams across many companies I have found that most problems are not technology problems, but are organizational structure, process, and people problems. As a trainer I bring storytelling, a broad array of experience, and collaborative approach to teaching.
I take a practical approach to teaching and coaching organizations how to respond to change and gain organizational agility. I love teaching and using Scrum, but use many other tools in the agile toolbox when the situation calls for it.
I am the co-host of The Agile Wire podcast where we speaks with industry leaders around the world. I also speak at conferences across the United States and am an active in the Wisconsin agile community - organizing meetups in multiple regions (Mad City Agility and Central Wisconsin Agile) and founder of the Mad City Agility Conference.
