Great PSM II course with Michael and Blake
I'm glad I chose the PMS II with Michael and Blake. They kept my attention, and the pace of the course was perfect. The two days flew by. The activities and attendee interactions helped increase my scrum knowledge.

Great Interactive class to learn all about scrum
It was a helpful session to brush up the scrum knowledge and got opportunity to interact with people across the world and got to learn from their experiences.
The trainers were very interactive and answered all the questions the group had.

It's one thing to try and study/learn Agile on your own. This class simplifies and unclutters the process! The presentation led through a logical and linear path for a solid introductory understanding of Agile. Michael was an excellent instructor, definitely portrayed the scrum principles and encouraged active participation. We were actually a pretty solid team by the time the class was over! I definitely enjoyed the time spent for this class and would highly recommend it!

Worth it!
The course material was well laid out. Michael was an engaging instructor. Time well spent, I feel I learned a lot to take back to my teams and organization.

Useful and Engaging
I really enjoyed the class with Michael Wallace on 3/15-3/16. I had only rudimentary knowledge of Scrum, but he was able to teach it and help the class apply it and understand its importance. Michael does a lot of small group sessions that helps students use Scrum, not just memorize it. I really appreciated the class materials, my fellow students, and Michael Wallace (and Scrum Trainer in Training, Ed Utley)!

Great info on Scaling Scrum
The class was a great way to see alternatives to the current scaling being used at my client. Exercises related easily to the business world and the materials flowed well to help the students understand how to use the framework, along with information to deal with the need of customization to each situation. Use of online materials was easy to navigate and kept the participants involved with the instructor and other class participants through use of breakout rooms. Highly recommend!

Thanks Blake
I was so excited to come back to Blake's class. I took PSM class first and after getting the certification I knew he will be the right trainer to take this PSM II class. I recommend him so hard, his classes are so entertained and dynamic, he keeps you focus and motivate you to participate and share. The final flavor is that you not only learn but enjoy while learning...

Great class
Great class! Really liked the exercises and the conversation with other Scrum Masters from other companies. The class helps you to reset to the foundational concepts of the Scrum Framework while at the same time thinking through how it ties to realistic situations that are not specifically covered in the Scrum Guide but can be addressed with empiricism. Instructors were great, class dynamic was good and really good use of virtual learning. Highly recommend

Excellent PSK Class by Michael Wallace
The PSK class that I recently took taught by Michael Wallace was a wonderful explanation of how to increase flow and predictability for Scrum teams. I'd dabbled around the edges of Kanban for years, read a few books but had no real experience. Now I have a far better understanding of how Kanban can be used with Scrum and the potential benefits. The instruction was well paced, the materials and group exercises were practical and supported learning. I feel more prepared now to take the next step of sharing with the teams with whom I work.

Blake taught the PSMII class exceptionally well.
Blake McMillan did an incredible job with this training. I could see he knew the topic very well based on his training materials and his real-world experience which he often used in his teachings. This course was different that other Scrum.org trainings. It is much less about absorbing knowledge and much more about deeper dives into applying what we learn. The use of Mural and Zoom break out rooms really helped to make these activities very collaborative.
The schedule of this course and the material was done very well. Nothing seemed rushed, and nothing was skipped. Timing of breaks was managed very well and made sure we were always fresh and alert to be productive. Much of the work involved break-out rooms and the time dedicated to those was always the right amount. Blake allowed us plenty of time during lunch to be able to eat and address any work issues we might be needing to manage.
The most beneficial part of this training was Blake infectious positive and uplifting attitude he brought to the class. You can tell he enjoys what he does, truly believes in Scrum, and is passionate about enriching others. That positivity carried over into all of the interactions we had with the other students. When the course ended, everyone was in a great mood and to be honest, some seemed almost sad we were at the end of this part of our Scrum journey. Everyone took a moment to connect with each other and share contact info to keep in touch which was nice to see. You don’t always experience that type of conclusion to a training and I am thankful I got to share in the course.

Excellent Training Course for PSM II

Blake and Michael were so professional and made this training so dynamic and learn by practicing with experiences and making comparison between the real practices and the desirable inside of the Scrum framework.

Great content and a very dynamic course
I really enjoyed this course. Content was great. Blake and Michael challanged us to think and share our ideas and they shared with us their experience using Scrum and Kanban in real life. Time passed without noticed it. Thank you!

Excellent class and trainers!
I attended the Professional Scrum with Kanban class in mid-September 2020. The class was held virtually and while I was concerned with how this would compare with in-person classes I was blown away by how great it was. Blake and Michael (trainers) kept things lively through relevant exercises and games which allowed the participants to interact and learn from each other. I think I actually prefer these virtual classes now.
As for the content, even though I'm an Agile coach and teach Scrum the Scrum portion of class was a great refresher and brought me back to why we do this. I learned a great deal when we moved more into the Kanban portion and I have some ideas on where and how to implement Scrum with Kanban in my organization.
Blake and Michael were very knowledgeable, funny, and engaging.
I'd definitely recommend this class to anyone looking to add some Kanban practices to their Scrum framework!

Virtual classes are getting better, however...
The class was great, and it is clear Improving is getting better at delivering virtually vs. in classroom; however breakout groups tackling assignments need some more facilitation efforts to enable hands on learning.
Dan Duffy
Amazing
This class was amazing. I learned a lot, mostly about limiting WIP. Michael is an excellent teacher and coach.

This was an excellent review of the best practices for integrating Kanban into our Scrum team process. It helped us visualize new workflow control strategies for optimizing efficiency, improving our ability to deliver value and increase the motivation for delivering that value.

The teachers were good
The teachers were good. If you were already familiar with Scrum, and Kanban there was some repetitiveness. Overall the Mural and Zoom tools worked well, and I enjoyed the breakout sessions.
Robert Steele
Remote Class Done Great!
Both Michael and Blake did an amazing job covering the PSK topics in a remote working session! Given the difficulties of remote learning, they both went above and beyond in making sure all topics were covered and simulation/real-world applications were covered as well. Very insightful and much appreciated!
Kenneth Crocker
Great class
Great class, very informative. Whether you're a current product owner, working towards being one, or simply want a better understanding of the process and guidelines this class is perfect.

Instructor was great and the facility was amazing!
Instructor was great and the facility was amazing!! I would've liked less exercises and more guidance info that I can refer back to in the future for real-world application of the process, but overall it was a great class. Just tried the open assessment and passed with ease, so I feel like I got everything I needed to prepare me for the exam. Thank you!
