Paul Ralton

I had an intense two-day training course with Paul Ralton. I took the Professional Scrum Product Owner course. It was a small online class, and we had plenty of group work and chances to ask questions and review material learnt. Paul was very inclusive and Collaborative. I bonded well with my team, and the energy was great. I am now confident in my ability to press on as an Agile trainer. I completely recommend this course and company.

Paul has a great way of doing a fully remote workshop. He knew when it was the right time for doing a break and how to engage people. He always asked the right questions and gave us all the insights to focus on to get us a kick start on Srum Mastership. This together with the really nice extended set of question from thescrummasters.uk helped me to get a 100% on my first try :-)

Paul has been super illustrative and engaging in the virtual setup, which made the learning very captivating and fun. There was not a dull moment in the class, he ensures that every topic is clearly understood and includes some fun kahoot sessions in between which makes the experience very wholesome and participative. Without doubt, excellent content and course design.

Paul is a very good coach. The Workshop was very enjoyable.

Paul was absolutly brillant and a great teacher. Will recommend him to anyone looking for training.

The training was absolutely packed with knowledge, insight, tools and inspiration. Furthermore, it laid out plenty of resources for our continued learning after it had concluded. I particularly enjoyed the collaborative learning formats and liberating structures which made the content really dynamic and much easier to remember than any sort of death-by-powerpoint type training courses. I left feeling totally energised and will continue my learning journey with a much bigger boost as a result!

Very informative sessions, with plenty exercises, breakout rooms and group discussions.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a Proffessional Scrum Product Owner training session led by Paul Ralton, and I must say it was an incredibly enlightening experience. Paul is not just a coach and trainer; he is a true mentor who imparts valuable knowledge with a unique approach. The training provided a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of product ownership, which are essential for anyone looking to excel in this role. However, what set this training apart was Paul's emphasis on the overall philosophy that product owners should embody to effectively manage their day-to-day activities within a Scrum framework. Paul's insights were not only practical but also deeply thoughtful, highlighting the importance of empathy, communication, and emotional intelligence in product ownership. This holistic approach to training ensures that we, as product owners, are not just equipped with technical skills but are also prepared to foster a collaborative and positive team environment. I am incredibly grateful for the knowledge and wisdom Paul shared. His ability to connect the dots between technical know-how and emotional intelligence has truly enhanced my perspective and approach towards product ownership. I highly recommend Paul Ralton's training to anyone seeking a profound and well-rounded understanding of Scrum Agile principles. As a result of studing, prepping and processing all the valuable information obtained by the training, I have also managed to gain my PSPO I certification successfully. I highly recommend for anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge in the field.

Paul is an awesome mentor with a lot of experience! I truly enjoy it!

The 2 day online course was throughly interactive. Paul was an excellent facilitator who explained things well and guided everyone through the course seemlessly. The course provides practical steps in how to improve as a Scrum Master and access to useful resources and further reading.

Paul was a great instructor, gave us plenty of room and time to understand the content of the course. He did a great job of keeping us moving and not getting stuck on less relevant points.

The excellent value of this course is down to Paul Ralton's ability to deliver it in an engaging and interactive manner. It's a difficult skill to do this for a room full of people across 2 days, and it's a credit to Paul's technique and vast knowledge of Scrum that he managed to do this so well. Thank you Paul, this has been one of the best training courses I've attended. Also, thanks to Paul's approach, I was able to take and pass the exam confidently immediately after the course ended!

Great course with an experienced tutor, who gave us the space to delve deeper into certain topics sharing his experiences with us. I also feel very fortunate to have been on the course in a relatively small group of women - this really promoted a safe environment for us to share our experiences and learn together.

Paul has been the best in these two days, he goes at a great pace, it´s really easy to understand him and he was super keen on helping everyone. The excercises have been really good, very practical, great intro to Liberating Strucures from him as I had not heard of them before. Would 100% recommend this course led by Paul. Thanks so much Paul!

This was the most interactive and engaging virtual class I've participated in. Paul did a grea job and breaking the lessons up into good sized chunks with different break out rooms, mixing up teams and using different methods for learning such as drawing diagrams and interactive activities. He covered a lot of material in an understandable way and I feel prepared to revise and take the exam.

Paul kept the pace of the course going, there is a lot to learn in a short time but unlike other courses I have attended it is not dragged out when it could be completed in less time. There is a lot of information to take in but it is presented in an engaging way on line with the use of MIRO so all can collaborate. There was enough time to ask questions and clarification and Paul ensured he was available before and after the course for any one to one time required. If you are looking for Scrum Master training you won't go wrong by signing up to a course that Paul is running.

Very well structured training with lots of opportunities to apply knowledge from scrum guide, pose questions and exchange with fellow training participants.

The instructor was very attentive to student needs, making themself readily available for questions and guidance throughout the course.

Prepared for the PSM II course with Paul Ralton. Paul managed to bring us together as a group as a true Scrum Master coach. His approach is truly collaborative, with plenty of exercises (liberation structures) to stimulate conversations and guide us through the theory and the application of SCRUM. Valuable, would recommend it to anyone.

Great class, very engaging and interesting. Paul was very happy to answer any questions from the group.

Brilliant course and trainer

Really enjoyed the course. Varied and interesting with great practical tips.

Paul was engaging and clearly had a lot of knowledge and expertise in Scrum. He made the sessions interactive and interesting, and was very professional throughout. I learned a lot of new information and more importantly, was shown how this can be practically taken into day-to-day work. I feel confident that I have the knowledge and skills to use this certification to add value to projects I am part of in future. Thanks again to Paul for making this such a positive experience.

Interaction via zoom made the course lighter than expected. The use of colors and pre-prepared stations on Miro were helpful to keep focus and recall things. It The trainer was super friendly and patient and made me want to participate from the beginning to the end.

The course was intense and I really enjoyed that about it. It was not like other courses where the trainer is giving you a lot of theory and at the end you don't know how to use it, here we received a lot of useful materials what we can use later and we did a lot of practical exercises. I really liked that the course was more focused on practical things and made us understand the principals of a Scrum Master. I am ready now to bring a lot of new ideas to my organization thanks to this course. Many thanks to Paul Ralton for making this training so nice!

13/12/2023. Attended a two day Professional Scrum Master (PSM1) course led by Paul Ralton. Paul is a great communicator. The course flowed seamlessly. Paul has a great presentation style with lots of opportunities to ask questions and talk about real life examples which made for a really enjoyable and informative course. He kept the class involved with multiple break out / practical sessions and ran quiz sessions immediately after lunch - a great way to dust off cobwebs after a few sandwiches. A very informative course - thoroughly recommended
