A truly satisfaying online event
A truly satisfaying online event! The class preparation and organization was done explicitly well. It worked really well with multinational team. Facilitation was great, debriefing after each exercise, explaining the reasoning and techniques behind it. The time simply swept by and we had two days of productive disucussions and exchanged experience, take items we can implement immediately on the next working day. Thank you for the nice event and the awesome experience!

Online training works!
This was my second training with Roland Flemm. First one (PSM I) was before COVID era, it was offline training and was really great. So I was hesitating to take PSM II online or wait for better circumstances to have it offline again.
And it was great training. It was perfectly time boxed, started and finished on time with short breaks and lunch break. We had a great team, all were involved into a process. Roland has kept us busy, provided us with useful information and given us enough time to think, consider and discuss. A lot of insights have been taken from these two days.
Roland, thank you very much for your work!

Happy to admit I was proven wrong on having concerns for taking an online PSPO workshop. Roland's experience, ability to adapt on the fly, and extensive use of online tools made this workshop very efficient.
Great experience overall.

A friendly & professional training from a real Scrum Master
Thank you for the awesome two days, it was really useful. The session provided me a good foundation and a deeper understanding about the complexity of the Scrum Master role.
I enjoyed it, because it was not a simple, dry broadcast about Scrum. I liked the way how we (the students) were involved and interacted with each other, that we were put in situations which pushed us to think like a Scrum Master should think.
Understanding "The Scrum Guide" is vital, but to start thinking/acting like a Scrum Master and to really understand the importance of this role is a much higher value and - in my opinion - this training is aiming for that higher value.
Thanks!

I really found valuable every minute of the two training days. Fully interactive even if the session happened through video conference due to covid-19. The reduced number of attendees also helped to participate even more often. I don't remember how many questions I was able to ask (all of them properly answered), but they were a lot. I also learned from experiences shared by the other people attending the training (great team, by the way). The huge amount of additional material shared by the trainer after the training is also remarkable and promises to be of great help for me to keep growing as a Scrum Master.

Comprehensive and engaging training on PSPO
I am very thankful for Roland training on PSPO. It made many processes and strategic things much clearer, all components of Scrum framework became something that I can easily apply for my day-to-day job and life. Special thanks for the attention to details, that are important while preparing to Scrum PSPO exam, positive attitude, engaging learning technics, and overall provided information.

This class has been the best traning I have had for ages.
The content was excellent with all the examples and exercises.
It keep me focus on the whole 2 days.
Roland Flemm's presentation and communication skills should be also teached.
He makes you relax while speaking and looks like Tony Stark :D
So if you mix these two, the content and the man, you get a two day long journey about Scrum.
I will definately recommend to anyone who would like to know what is Scrum!

Roland's Bio
Welcome to my profile and Upcoming Classes page.
(Please scroll down a bit to see my training schedule)
Who Am I?
Roland Flemm is an experienced Scrum Master and an Organisational Design consultant. He works as on large and small scale Scrum adoptions and as a Professional Scrum trainer.
Roland has a background in application development (.Net and Java) and in infrastructure engineering (IBM WebSphere & Portal) for over 20 years. Since 2013 he is dedicated to working as a Scrum Master and LeSS Coach.
People come to Roland to fix problems like these:
- We added (Scrum) teams to speed up our software delivery, but now this is slowing us down.
- We have difficulties to keep up with the speed at which competitors are delivering new features.
- We (the business) pay a fortune for IT, but the ROI is too low. IT is making a mess of things.
- Our existing customer-base does not appreciate the new features we bring them.
- It is impossible for Product management to forecast product releases on a quarterly basis.
- People in the teams are unmotivated and do not take responsibility for the work.
- The people are leaving the company, our knowledge is draining.
Besides coaching, he regularly publishes articles, he developed the Scrum learning resource Scrumcards and is the creator of humorist movies (Sprint Review,Sprint Retrospective) and the KoosCoach cartoons. Roland enjoys speaking at international conferences and strongly believes that fun and diversity at the workplace is essential for success. Click here to see a movie of Roland teaching.

When you aspire to a Scrum Master role, some form of certification on your resume is a must. Scrum.org offers the acclaimed PSM learning journey to support Scrum Masters to professionalise their skills. I am a Professional Scrum Trainer for scrum.org and I have trained hundreds of Scrum Masters over the past few years. Newcomers start their career with a PSM-I class to gain an understanding of Professional Scrum and the essence of the role of the Scrum Master. I observe that many experienced Scrum Masters hesitate to join a PSM-II class. Possibly that's because it is unclear to many what the PSM-II training has to offer.

When I coach, consult and teach classes, I often get questions about creating an agile maturity tool or defining agile maturity metrics. Agile Maturity metrics are used by many businesses to better understand their present agile practices and monitor to improve them. I understand the need for this kind of metric. I also noticed that the purpose and value of agile maturity metrics are misunderstood. This article will help you to find agile maturity metrics that bring value and offers a free maturity tool to download.

Quand on parle de Scrum et d’Agilité, nous sommes habitués à penser à l’Amérique et à l’Europe, et non à l’Afrique. Je dois avouer que je suis totalement ignorant du niveau de Scrum et de l’Agile en Afrique. Inutile de dire que j’étais excité d’être invité en Côte d’Ivoire pour une formation PSM-1 et PSPO-1 dans la ville d’Abidjan.

When talking about applying Scrum and Agile, we are hardwired to think about America and Europe, not about Africa. I must confess I am totally ignorant about the status of Scrum and Agile in Africa. Needless to say, I was excited to be invited to Ivory Coast for a PSM-1 and PSPO-1 training in the city of Abidjan.
