Great PSM 1 course
The PSM 1 course was really helpful to understand the Scrum framework and the underlying ideas and principles. I enjoyed the way the topics have been presented and how the ideas and examples have been discussed in small teams. I now have a much more profound knowledge about Scrum and my responsibilities as a scrum master. It was a great presence class - especially in Corona times.

I enjoyed every single minute of this course
I enjoyed every single minute of this course! Marc organized an interactive course with a lot of group exercises, so we could not only elaborate some of the Scrum theory by ourselves but also experience real life-Scrum. The group size was ideal (11 participants) and the part time course (4 days à 4 hours) made it possible to keep focused easily.
Marc is a very experienced trainer and it was very enjoyable listening to his personal experiences and stories as Scrum Master. I totally recommend this course!

Great PSM II training
The PSM II training by Marc Kaufmann and Simon Flossmann was very well structured and very informative. I particularly liked the many interactive exercises. Both trainers have very good Scrum knowledge and were always available for questions. They both harmonized well with each other as a moderator team. At the end of the training I felt well prepared for the PSM II online exam and can warmly recommend the training.

Best online Classroom i attended
We just had our 1,5 days Scrum meeting with Marc. I realy enjoyed the training, the trainer and my co-trainees. It was by fare the best online training i had. It was well prepared and structured and i was able to follow the red line easily.
My top points:
- Preparation and structure were clear and in place
- all technical aspects worked as planned and there was not a single issue, highly automated so no disturbance
- i liked the digital witheboard we worked on together
- training was very diverse with lots of break out sessions with different teams
- lots of interactive content, which held the attention level very high and also the fun level
- the time boxing was on point, the tasks fitted perfectly to the given time windows
- there was also enough flex time planned to discuss or explain topics which were of more interesst of the trainees
I can really recommend the training with Marc because you learn all important point and it's fun doing it.

Excellent trainer! The scrum framework was clearly explained in the class with great overall collaboration with the participants, along with the provision of highly effective and interactive set of practical exercises. In addition, scrum’s application in various challenging and complex environments were dealt with great care including strong insights concerning the significance of scrum master role as a servant-leader. The supplementary notes and trainer’s knowledge and experience beyond the scrum guide was extremely valuable in understanding multifaceted problems like constructing the team, velocity, constructive conflicts, multitasking issues, etc. To cut the story short, it was a great learning experience for me and I look forward to attending more such amazing training sessions with Marc.

Thank you Marc for 4 great mornings - interesting, entertaining, captivating and very educative!
I don't know the live version of the training, but the online version worked great for me. From the exchange with the other course participants to the group work and the possibility to ask direct questions by e-mail even after class.
The splitting into two blocks of two morning sessions was ideal for me. After the first "contact" with SCRUM in the first block you not only had a few days to reflect what you have heard. But by splitting the course into two blocks and limiting it to the morning sessions, it was also easier to combine the course with your daily business.
Keep it up like that. The format works. I can only recommend it!

Online Scrum Master Schulung bei Marc Kaufmann
Die online Scrum Master Schulung bei Marc war super. Trotz Corona und online Schulung konnte ich unheimlich viel mitnehmen. Marc hat die Schulung sehr gut strukturiert, viele Gruppenarbeiten eingebaut und auch viele eigene Erfahrung mit eingebracht. Da solche online Schulungen sehr anstrengend sind, hat er aber auch ausreichend viele Pausen mit eingebaut. Auch wenn wir alle doch ziemlich weit entfernt von einnander gesessen haben, hatte man doch ein gutes Gefühl als Team. Ich habe meine Prüfung übrigens bestanden. Danke Marc für die wirklich tolle Schulung.

Entry to Scrum in a Scrum Master's perspective
This class was my entry into the world of Scrum and prepared my way to become Scrum Master.
- Style: Workshop/ group work and theory with many examples out of trainer's experience
- Content: Scrum basics and Scrum Master's view and job description (two days are very short for combining basics and Scrum Master training - therefore only 4 stars out of 5)
- Great trainer: Experienced, superior leading and moderating, always open for questions and allways answered, role model himself while leading the course for beeing a Scrum Master
Thank you Marc!

PSMI: Great practical experience for the job
We as a class experienced great practical use of getting known to Scrum. Marc was able to clarify all of my questions and eliminated uncertainties I discovered so far.
He also provided useful preparation material according to the PSMI assessment. Thanks for that!
The only thing I want to suggest is to take even more weight onto the Scrum Master role as the PSMI seminar mainly focuses on Scrum in general. Maybe an additional "Scrum in general" training would be fine, too?

great knowhow, know-why and practical expertise
Marc did a great job teaching the main concepts of scrum in during a 2 day workshop. I feel definitely more confident about using the framework and the framework also makes more sense to me. Furthermore, I gained insight into the practical challenges of Scrum." He lightened up the workshop with some good humor.
For my taste, some of the exercises were a bit too long and the workshop probably could have been reduced to an intensive one day workshop in my opinion, that’s why I give not full 5 points for it.

Online Scrum Master Schulung bei Marc Kaufmann
Die online Scrum Master Schulung bei Marc war super. Trotz Corona und online Schulung konnte ich unheimlich viel mitnehmen. Marc hat die Schulung sehr gut strukturiert, viele Gruppenarbeiten eingebaut und auch viele eigene Erfahrung mit eingebracht. Da solche online Schulungen sehr anstrengend sind, hat er aber auch ausreichend viele Pausen mit eingebaut. Auch wenn wir alle doch ziemlich weit entfernt von einnander gesessen haben, hatte man doch ein gutes Gefühl als Team. Ich habe meine Prüfung übrigens bestanden. Danke Marc für die wirklich tolle Schulung.

Marc did an excellent remote training
Marc did an excellent remote training, perfectly structured with much variety. The content of the Scrum Master class wasn´t new for me, but still all days have been very exciting for me. He really knows how to adapt to his audience, to fit all individual levels and needs.

Great Training and successful preparation
Marc did a great job in structuring and transporting the content and his knowledge about scrum to the training. His examples of practical solutions for difficult adaption situations are highly appreciated.
The curse have been realized virtually with great tools for content provision and team interaction.
I got the needed information and preparation for the exam, which has been passed successfully.
Goal reached!

Great value Scrum course
Great value Scrum course. As an 2 year experienced user of scrum I was able to learn a lot about the Scrum mindset, how Scrum is brought to a new company or team and what it means to be a Scrum Master in general. Our instructor Marc is one of my favorite teachers I ever had. He has a hube set of knowledge and experience. Thanks again Marc!

Entry to Scrum in a Scrum Master's perspective
This class was my entry into the world of Scrum and prepared my way to become Scrum Master.
- Style: Workshop/ group work and theory with many examples out of trainer's experience
- Content: Scrum basics and Scrum Master's view and job description (two days are very short for combining basics and Scrum Master training - therefore only 4 stars out of 5)
- Great trainer: Experienced, superior leading and moderating, always open for questions and allways answered, role model himself while leading the course for beeing a Scrum Master
Thank you Marc!

PSMI: Great practical experience for the job
We as a class experienced great practical use of getting known to Scrum. Marc was able to clarify all of my questions and eliminated uncertainties I discovered so far.
He also provided useful preparation material according to the PSMI assessment. Thanks for that!
The only thing I want to suggest is to take even more weight onto the Scrum Master role as the PSMI seminar mainly focuses on Scrum in general. Maybe an additional "Scrum in general" training would be fine, too?

great knowhow, know-why and practical expertise
Marc did a great job teaching the main concepts of scrum in during a 2 day workshop. I feel definitely more confident about using the framework and the framework also makes more sense to me. Furthermore, I gained insight into the practical challenges of Scrum." He lightened up the workshop with some good humor.
For my taste, some of the exercises were a bit too long and the workshop probably could have been reduced to an intensive one day workshop in my opinion, that’s why I give not full 5 points for it.

Professional Scrum Master class
I had high expectations of the Professional Scrum Master class but they were excelled. The class and especially the teacher Marc Kaufmann helped to get a much better understanding of Scrum than just reading the Scrum Guide. I can absolutely recommend the class.

Scrum - anschaulich & erlebbar
Das Training hat nicht nur die notwendigen Inhalte für die Prüfung vermittelt, sondern durch verschiedene Übungen agile Methoden erlebbar gemacht. Dadurch wird nicht nur die Funktionsweise von Scrum verständlicher, sondern auch die Motivation für die einzelnen Artefakte, Rollen & Events deutlich. Ich kann Marc als Trainer nur empfehlen.

The PSM I course with Marc Kaufmann and Astrid Becker gave a comprehensive and practical overview of Scrum. The course was conducted using the Scrum rules and prepares the participants for the use of Scrum in their own company as well as for the certification (PSM I). Additionally it was a lot of fun!

The perfect combination of theoretical and practical input!
The course was highly informative since not only the theoretical scrum framework of scrum but also the background why each artifact is part of the framework and what is the purpose of it was discussed.
Thanks a lot for sharing the agile mindset and providing a lot of good working experience.

Scrum is based on self-organized teams. Self-organized teams are able to evolve and adapt quicker in today’s highly complex working environments than traditional command-and-control management structures.
