Are you a real ProductOwner already?
I had this fantastic Professional Product Owner Advanced course taught by Simon Flossmann and I'm still thrilled. There was so much practical information, tools and tricks to become an even better PO. There were things that were never on my desk but should be, which is now obvious to me. If the PSPO-I is about the "rules of the game", the PSPO-II dives deep to become a true PO. I particularly valued the "value" as well as the exercise parts on common PO actions and decisions.
And also there was enough input for achieving the Scrum.org batch afterwards.

Viele Aha-Effekte und Einiges gelernt
Hallo Simon, ich fand das Training super. Habe viele Aha-Effekte gehabt (z.B. Scrum und UX sind zwei Seiten derselben Medaille & Wert schafft nur das, was den Kundenbegeistert & Produktentwicklung ist Lernen..) und Du hast, trotz der besprochenen Gradwanderung zwischen Prüfungsvorbereitung und praktischen Nutzen, das Meiste aus den zwei Tagen rausgeholt. Man hat gemerkt, dass Dir wichtig war, dass wir während des Trainings Zeit zum nachhaltigen Lernen haben. Danke dafür.

very interactive. There was a lot of exchange between the participants

and Simon to every experienced Scrum Master if the Scrum Guide is known and the
focus is on improving the processes and deepening the agile mindset.

Great coach who teaches you how to apply Scrum as it should be done
I had the chance to have the Professional Scrum Master training with coach Simon Flossmann and would like to highlight his teaching approach which was entirely new for me and helped me bring so much from the training into my daily work.
The coaching is very interactive, Simon selects carefully use-cases which are relevant to all group members. Therefore the work on actual real-life examples helps extremely in understanding Scrum.
I highly recommend him as a couach because he doesn't only prepare you to pass the exam, but you also bring valuable practices to your work life. Thank you!

Excellent training and good preparation for the PSPO-A assessment
The PSPO-A training was the best seminar for product owners I have attended so far. It is a real advanced seminar, which requires Scrum and PO basics.
The training was prepared and conducted very professionally. Simon and Glenn are experienced and sympathetic coaches. The training materials were well selected. There was a good mix between theory and practice and feedback was always asked for to adapt the training to the needs of the participants.
The core element of the training was the different stances of the product owner. The stances were well communicated with the many facets.
The training was also a good preparation for the PSPO-A assessment.
Many thanks to Glenn and Simon!

We can practice directly and can reflect to our day to day activities
I admit I got lost sometimes, especially when jesse spoke fast.
Probably because English is not my primary language and different timezone (the training was 2 - 10 PM GMT+7) made me sleepy on the last hours of the training.
What could be improved maybe about the cadence of the practice in each topic
Some practices were too fast, like 8 minutes for A, 10 minutes for B

While there were some small periods of time where I was missing a red line to follow (i.e. "why are we looking at XY now?", "which problem are we trying to solve with XY?"). Many small teaching "tricks" enabled us, the participants, to find the answer to questions posed by the presenter ourselves. And all questions were answered.

Feedback for PSPO 1 training
The training was quite structured, and easy to understand!
What can possibly make the training better: Since this is a certificate course, some 10 to 15 minute mock tests during the training maybe using tools like Kahoot maybe, may help the understanding even better.

PSM II course - A knowledgable, exciting and joyful two-day online experience
What can you expect:
This two-day (online) course is fully packed with structures and tools that will help you to deliver more value in your different roles (coach, mentor, teacher, facilitator, change agent, etc.) as a Scrum Master.
What made the course so valuable to me:
What stood out for me was Simon`s passion for Scrum and his online facilitation skills. He always provided the group with enough bits and pieces of information to grasp a concept but then let the course participants elaborate on the concept, share knowledge and come up with strategies that you can immediately implement in your own working environment. In turn, if you expect a course where you can lean back and relax, then this course is not for you. However, if you want to grow, learn from others as well as with others and be guided through this process in a very professional way, Simon`s PSM II class is the right place for you. This class is truly for Scrum Masters conducted by Scrum Masters.
To sum it up:
Due to Simon`s high level of experience and professionalism before, during and after the class, I highly recommend this course and trainer to everyone who wants to bring his or her skillset to the next level.

It was very helpful to go through all Nexus artifacts, roles and meetings with a very detailed, hands-on example, allowing us to tackle the various challenges that distributed scrum brings.
I can fully recommend Simon Flossmann, our trainer, who expertly facilitated this online (due to corona) training!

Das Training folgte interaktiven und modernen Lernstrategien. Anstatt langweiliger, schwer zu merkender Vorträge hat Simon uns geholfen, unser Erfahrungswissen hervorzubringen, zu konsolidieren und anzuwenden. Nichts anderes habe ich von diesem großartigen Scrum Trainer erwartet.
Der Erfolg dieses Trainingshat sich nicht nur in den Ergebnissen des Tests wiedergespiegelt, auch meine Praxis als Scrum Master hat sich dadurch verbessert.

Scaled Professional Scrum Class with an excellent trainer
What makes Simon Flossmann's training a special experience? In addition to in-depth knowledge, his non-intrusive manner is also a great advantage when training. In this way, knowledge is conveyed without unnecessarily embellishing the content. Even in large groups Simon maintains an overview and uses the available time effectively. His experience and his role as a course steward give the training additional added value.

Real benefit for everyday working life
Simon Flossmann and Peter Götz are both eloquent speakers and made the whole SPS course to an enjoyable experience. Among other things we learned hands-on agile moves and techniques to manage a Nexus.
For me personally this course added value to my everyday working life and I learned things which I can directly implement into my current project.

Awsome 2 day training experience
During two days of SPS training Simon and Peter managed to gave me a broad understanding when to scale and when not to scale. Based on a case study I was able to gather knowledge on goals of scaling and where to focus on during a scaling process. It helped me to understand the boundaries of the framework and gave me insights on facilitating during workshop sessions.

2 days full of inspiration and insights
In 2 days Simon and Peter provided excellent insights and tie-ins on how to scale to more than a handful of Scrum teams. The course itself is a healthy mix of theoretical fundamentals and practical group exercises based on a real-life case study. That recurring theme made it easy for participants to relate to their respective challenges. Add to that two talented, knowledgeable and humorous coaches and you'll get two days that just flew by.
I'm sure that with the insights provided the participants are more than capable of facing new challenges in scaled product development.

PSM I Training
Ich war von dem PSM I Training begeistert.
Nicht nur wurde uns die nötige Theorie vermittelt, sondern das Training war auch mit Praxisbeispielen gespickt, damit man sich ein Bild davon machen kann, wie Scrum gelebt werden sollte.
Der Trainer nahm hier ganz die Vorbildfunktion ein und so wurden wir streng aber freundlich immer wieder darauf hingewiesen, wenn auch nur Kleinigkeiten nicht stimmten. Dies war für mich überaus positiv, da mir und den anderen Trainingsteilnehmern so immer wieder aufgezeichnet wurde, welche Verantwortung man als Scrum Master inne hat.

Viele Aha-Effekte und Einiges gelernt
Hallo Simon, ich fand das Training super. Habe viele Aha-Effekte gehabt (z.B. Scrum und UX sind zwei Seiten derselben Medaille & Wert schafft nur das, was den Kundenbegeistert & Produktentwicklung ist Lernen..) und Du hast, trotz der besprochenen Gradwanderung zwischen Prüfungsvorbereitung und praktischen Nutzen, das Meiste aus den zwei Tagen rausgeholt. Man hat gemerkt, dass Dir wichtig war, dass wir während des Trainings Zeit zum nachhaltigen Lernen haben. Danke dafür.

and Simon to every experienced Scrum Master if the Scrum Guide is known and the
focus is on improving the processes and deepening the agile mindset.

Great coach who teaches you how to apply Scrum as it should be done
I had the chance to have the Professional Scrum Master training with coach Simon Flossmann and would like to highlight his teaching approach which was entirely new for me and helped me bring so much from the training into my daily work.
The coaching is very interactive, Simon selects carefully use-cases which are relevant to all group members. Therefore the work on actual real-life examples helps extremely in understanding Scrum.
I highly recommend him as a couach because he doesn't only prepare you to pass the exam, but you also bring valuable practices to your work life. Thank you!

Excellent training and good preparation for the PSPO-A assessment
The PSPO-A training was the best seminar for product owners I have attended so far. It is a real advanced seminar, which requires Scrum and PO basics.
The training was prepared and conducted very professionally. Simon and Glenn are experienced and sympathetic coaches. The training materials were well selected. There was a good mix between theory and practice and feedback was always asked for to adapt the training to the needs of the participants.
The core element of the training was the different stances of the product owner. The stances were well communicated with the many facets.
The training was also a good preparation for the PSPO-A assessment.
Many thanks to Glenn and Simon!

We can practice directly and can reflect to our day to day activities
I admit I got lost sometimes, especially when jesse spoke fast.
Probably because English is not my primary language and different timezone (the training was 2 - 10 PM GMT+7) made me sleepy on the last hours of the training.
What could be improved maybe about the cadence of the practice in each topic
Some practices were too fast, like 8 minutes for A, 10 minutes for B

While there were some small periods of time where I was missing a red line to follow (i.e. "why are we looking at XY now?", "which problem are we trying to solve with XY?").

Feedback for PSPO 1 training
The training was quite structured, and easy to understand!
What can possibly make the training better: Since this is a certificate course, some 10 to 15 minute mock tests during the training maybe using tools like Kahoot maybe, may help the understanding even better.

PSM II course - A knowledgable, exciting and joyful two-day online experience
What can you expect:
This two-day (online) course is fully packed with structures and tools that will help you to deliver more value in your different roles (coach, mentor, teacher, facilitator, change agent, etc.) as a Scrum Master.
What made the course so valuable to me:
What stood out for me was Simon`s passion for Scrum and his online facilitation skills. He always provided the group with enough bits and pieces of information to grasp a concept but then let the course participants elaborate on the concept, share knowledge and come up with strategies that you can immediately implement in your own working environment. In turn, if you expect a course where you can lean back and relax, then this course is not for you. However, if you want to grow, learn from others as well as with others and be guided through this process in a very professional way, Simon`s PSM II class is the right place for you. This class is truly for Scrum Masters conducted by Scrum Masters.
To sum it up:
Due to Simon`s high level of experience and professionalism before, during and after the class, I highly recommend this course and trainer to everyone who wants to bring his or her skillset to the next level.

It was very helpful to go through all Nexus artifacts, roles and meetings with a very detailed, hands-on example, allowing us to tackle the various challenges that distributed scrum brings.
I can fully recommend Simon Flossmann, our trainer, who expertly facilitated this online (due to corona) training!

Das Training folgte interaktiven und modernen Lernstrategien. Anstatt langweiliger, schwer zu merkender Vorträge hat Simon uns geholfen, unser Erfahrungswissen hervorzubringen, zu konsolidieren und anzuwenden. Nichts anderes habe ich von diesem großartigen Scrum Trainer erwartet.
Der Erfolg dieses Trainingshat sich nicht nur in den Ergebnissen des Tests wiedergespiegelt, auch meine Praxis als Scrum Master hat sich dadurch verbessert.

Scaled Professional Scrum Class with an excellent trainer
What makes Simon Flossmann's training a special experience? In addition to in-depth knowledge, his non-intrusive manner is also a great advantage when training. In this way, knowledge is conveyed without unnecessarily embellishing the content. Even in large groups Simon maintains an overview and uses the available time effectively. His experience and his role as a course steward give the training additional added value.

Real benefit for everyday working life
Simon Flossmann and Peter Götz are both eloquent speakers and made the whole SPS course to an enjoyable experience. Among other things we learned hands-on agile moves and techniques to manage a Nexus.
For me personally this course added value to my everyday working life and I learned things which I can directly implement into my current project.

The PSM II training by Marc Kaufmann and Simon Flossmann was very well structured and very informative. I particularly liked the many interactive exercises.

Awsome 2 day training experience
During two days of SPS training Simon and Peter managed to gave me a broad understanding when to scale and when not to scale. Based on a case study I was able to gather knowledge on goals of scaling and where to focus on during a scaling process. It helped me to understand the boundaries of the framework and gave me insights on facilitating during workshop sessions.

2 days full of inspiration and insights
In 2 days Simon and Peter provided excellent insights and tie-ins on how to scale to more than a handful of Scrum teams. The course itself is a healthy mix of theoretical fundamentals and practical group exercises based on a real-life case study. That recurring theme made it easy for participants to relate to their respective challenges. Add to that two talented, knowledgeable and humorous coaches and you'll get two days that just flew by.
I'm sure that with the insights provided the participants are more than capable of facing new challenges in scaled product development.

PSM I Training
Ich war von dem PSM I Training begeistert.
Nicht nur wurde uns die nötige Theorie vermittelt, sondern das Training war auch mit Praxisbeispielen gespickt, damit man sich ein Bild davon machen kann, wie Scrum gelebt werden sollte.
Der Trainer nahm hier ganz die Vorbildfunktion ein und so wurden wir streng aber freundlich immer wieder darauf hingewiesen, wenn auch nur Kleinigkeiten nicht stimmten. Dies war für mich überaus positiv, da mir und den anderen Trainingsteilnehmern so immer wieder aufgezeichnet wurde, welche Verantwortung man als Scrum Master inne hat.
