Praxisnahe Schulung
Die 2-tägige Schulung war sehr abwechslungsreich. Es gab keine Frontalvorträge, stattdessen konnte man sich die Inhalte in praktischen Übungen selbst erarbeiten. Dadurch wird man auch öfter direkt mit den möglichen Fehlern konfrontiert, was jedoch für den Lernprozess sehr hilfreich ist. Die Übungen und das dazugehörige Hintergrundwissen bereiten sehr gut auf die Zertifizierung vor, da man zu vielen Fragen die Übungen im Hinterkopf hat und alles gut assoziieren kann. So bleibt das Wissen auch nach der Schulung im Kopf.

Ich hatte mit Simon eine SPS Schulung
Ich hatte mit Simon eine SPS Schulung. Obwohl di Schulung online war hat Simon diese sehr interessant und kurzweilig gestaltet mit viel Interaktion und Diskussionen. Simon hat ein tiefes Verständnis von Nexus und kann dieses sehr gut vermitteln. Auch über das Training hinaus hat er meine Fragen beantwortet und ich konnte viele Tipps für die Praxis mitnehmen. Selten so einen guten Trainer gehabt. Ich danke dir!

Excellent Nexus Training
Simon is excellent at making a training seem entertaining, while still achieving a significant learning outcome. I particularly liked the fact that he made a very clear distinction between the methodologically open Scrum and Nexus frameworks and presented useful best practices.

PSPO classroom
I really liked this training, as it gives us a much better understanding about what a product owner should do and should not do.
We had many practical tasks to find the best approach on our own, demonstrative examples and many coloured post-its to visualize.
Now it's up to me to find out how to implement these ideas in a complex organisation.

Zu empfehlen!
Wieder einmal eine super Schulung von und mit Simon! Dies ist nun bereits die zweite SCRUM-Schulung, die ich bei Simon besuche und ich bin nach wie vor positiv überrascht von der Kurzweiligkeit der insgesamt zwei Tage. Viel Interaktion, gute Materialien, lockere Stimmung, super Pausenkonzept.

The training with Simon was absolutely amazing!
The training with Simon was absolutely great and helpful. Besides the fact that the training provided a lot of knowledge and experience, it was also really entertaining. I do hope that I will get the chance of doing other trainings with Simon. Thanks to his training skills I was able to pass the exam at the first try.

Nexus-Schulung - online gut gemeistert!
Ich mag Online-Schulungen nicht und dafür, dass ich sie nicht mag, fand ich hat Simon die große Truppe von 15 Teilnehmenden gut und eloquent zwei Tage lang durch die Elemente des Nexus-Frameworks geführt... Alle Teilnehmenden hatten genug Raum für Fragen und den wertvollen Erfahrungsaustausch. Ich habe mein Ziel erreicht, das Framework sowie die essentiellen Unterschiede zu anderen Skalierungsframeworks kennenzulernen. Danke.

Super interaktive Nexus Schulung
Sehr intensive zwei Tage. Die Schulungszeit wurde optimal genutzt und durch das gute Trainingskonzept (auch wenn dies zu Anfang sehr ungewohnt war) konnte ich durchgängig konzentriert mitmachen. Wir haben über die Nexus Schulung eine Case Study bearbeitet. Geniale Idee. So konnte ich einen guten Eindruck von den Schwierigkeiten und Benefits bekommen. Vielen Dank Simon für die spannenden 2 Tage und die vielen tollen Eindrücke & Tipps!

Great Training and inspiring group
Simon is a very experienced Trainer and Agilist. He handled the online training very good and was eager to let us fail fast ;-) which is the best learning method.
The training was very helpful, time flew and the group was really cool. I had a lot of take-aways and a lot of fun as well. A lot of experience from the Trainer and the class made the 2 days very valuable.

Ich fand es toll
Ich fand es toll, dass wir Nexus anhand einer Case Study praktisch umsetzen konnten. So konnte ich nicht nur die Theorie zu Nexus erlernen, sondern auch hilfreiche Praxisübungen für die Zukunft mitnehmen. Simon hat sich immer Zeit genommen unsere Fragen zu beantworten und hat immer genug Pausen eingebaut, sodass wir nicht überfordert mit der Menge an Wissen waren.

PAL-EBM
The training gave me a lot of new impulses to better help my teams and the organization to identify and structure goals and to regularly check if we are on the right track by using appropriate metrics and testing hypotheses.
Simon shared a lot of new knowledge with us in just one day. Simon is an experienced and excellent trainer and the training was perfectly organized and structured. The exchange of experiences with the other participants enriched the training.

Technically brilliant, very sensibly structured course
I took the training to learn how to lead a team as a product owner without directly assigning tasks.
My biggest takeaways from the training were how to use strategic and short-term goals to move a self-referential group of people forward step-by-step.
The introduction of the personal experiences of the training leader and his personal approach made the training a special experience for me.
The only small difficulty was that due to the fact that time was getting shorter at the end, it was a little difficult in the last part of the training to follow the transition from learning phases in the plenum to the group learning phase. A little more time could be available here.
Thank you for the excellent training

Very useful training!
Earlier this year I've already participated in the PSPO-A training by Simon, have learned many interesting PO concepts and had great experience.
I also wanted to attend a PAL-EBM training and luckily I won the place in the training, because our firm had one spare place there.
The most interesting part is as always the team work, which is facilitated by an experienced trainer - Simon. In other words: "learning by doing".
I already had some experience with EBM in the PSPO-A training, but in PAL-EBM we went further.
It's hard to point out, what was the most interesting part: everything was important and interesting. And of course - fun!
After the training I attended and successfully passed the PAL-EBM certification, I think there was only 1 wrong answer of the 40. So the training had definitely helped me with that!
Looking forward for the next trainings with Simon!

For leaders in agile or "almost agile" environments.
I participated at the course since I have already agile experience for years but wanted to expand my knowledge. Particularly the focus on the phrase "Leadership" made me signing in for Simons course. I really liked the training very much and gained interesting insights into how to manage uncertainty in complexe issues areas while using empiricism. Even though the content is theoretical Simon provided us lots of practical use examples. Exercise after exercise, lots of practices... definitely no time and opportunity to get bored ;-). A very good training for leaders in agile or "almost agile" environments. Thanks Simon!

EBM- absolut empfehlenswert für Agile Leader, Agile Coaches, Product Owner & Scrum Master
Dieses Training kommt definitiv in meine persönliche Kategorie "Top-Training" - Simon hat einen tollen Trainingsstil und versteht es das Wissen praxisnah und interaktiv zu vermitteln. Langeweile? Fehlanzeige!
Zum Inhalt: Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich mit dem EBM-Ansatz zu beschäftigen - egal ob Führungskraft, Agile Leader, Product Owner, Scrum Master.
Meine größten Takeaways aus dem Training:
1. Definiere outcomebasierte Ziele.
2. SMARTE Ziele? In einer komplexen Welt sollten diese vor allem S "spezifisch" und M "messbar" sein. A-R-T kann unter Umständen den Lösungsraum einschränken.
3. Inspect & Adapt: Experimentiere und lerne aus deinen Erfahrungen - verfeinere deine Ziele, richte sie neu aus & sei mutig genug, sie auch wieder zu verwerfen, wenn deine Erkenntnisse dies ergeben.
4. Der Kurs im "Training from back of the room-Format" hat mir eine Menge Lernzeit erspart. 😉
100% Weiterempfehlung

Eine sehr kurzweilige, super organisierte Schulung. Ganz besonders positiv hervorzuheben ist der hohe Grad an Interaktion und das gutePausenkonzept (10 Minuten Pause pro Stunde). Beides fördert die Konzentration ungemein.

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.

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.

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

This workshop was highly interactive and engaging.
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.

Simon's Bio
Möchtest du deine Fähigkeiten erweitern, indem du dein Verständnis für die effektive Anwendung des Scrum-Frameworks und ergänzender Praktiken vertiefst? Oder möchtest du deine Karrierechancen durch eine Zertifizierung verbessern?
Dann wechsle nicht zum nächsten Scrum-Trainer-Profil, sondern lese weiter...
Meine Professional Scrum Trainings helfen dir,
- Scrum professionell anzuwenden. Seit 2015 nutze ich Scrum in meiner Arbeit als Scrum Master und Product Owner bei einem Versicherungs-Start-up, großem Energiekonzern, Haushaltsgerätehersteller, Automobilzulieferer und auch Behörden. Wie du sehen kannst, stammt mein Wissen nicht aus Lehrbüchern, sondern basiert auf wirklicher Erfahrung. Deshalb gebe ich in meinen Kursen nur Dinge weiter, die ich bereits selbst ausprobiert habe.
- nicht nur die Theorie hinter Scrum zu verstehen, sondern diese auch konkret umzusetzen. Seit Ende 2020 arbeite ich sogar für Scrum.org selbst in einem Scrum Team. Somit unterrichte ich nicht nur Scrum, sondern praktiziere es auch weiterhin. Ich bin daher kein Berater, der dir nur vom Spielfeldrand aus gute Ratschläge gibt und dich dann im wahren Leben mit der Umsetzung allein lässt. Wie du kämpfe ich tagtäglich mit Herausforderungen bei der Entwicklung von Produkten und Services und kann dich somit auf Augenhöhe unterstützen, deine aktuellen Herausforderungen zu meistern.
- neben den Grundlagen-Zertifizierungen auch fortgeschrittene Zertifizierungsprüfungen, wie das PSU, SPS oder PAL-EBM, zu bestehen. Als Steward für den SPS-Kurs entwickle ich überdies das SPS-Training weiter und kann dir somit tiefe Einblicke in die Skalierung von Scrum geben.
Warum solltest du dein nächstes Training mit mir machen?
- Als zertifizierter Training from the Back of the Room-Trainer brauche ich auch keine PowerPoint-Folien, um dir die Lerninhalte zu vermitteln! Stattdessen fordere und fördere ich dich durch intensive Übungen, Diskussionen, Fallstudien und „brainfriendly“ Lernaktivitäten.
- Da ich die Trainings nicht zum ersten Mal halte, spielst du nicht das Versuchskaninchen in meinen Kursen. Seit 2020 habe ich über 800 Teilnehmer in meinen Schulungen unterrichtet. Durch diese umfassende Trainingserfahrung kann ich dir höchste Trainingsqualität bieten.
- Nach jedem Training biete ich dir auch ein zusätzliches persönliches Coaching an. Dort gebe ich dir wertvolle Tipps für die Prüfung und hilfreiche Unterstützung das Gelernte in deinem Unternehmen anzuwenden.
Natürlich kann ich hier viel schreiben und behaupten. Mach dir doch lieber selbst ein Bild:
- Lies dir die Rezensionen der Teilnehmenden durch, die meine Trainings bereits besucht haben. Du findest sie unten in meinem Profil. Achte beim Lesen darauf, wie oft sie das Wort „interaktives Training“ verwendet haben. Darauf bin ich besonders stolz.
- Lies dir meine Blogs durch. Meine Reise mit Scrum war ein steiniger Weg: Ich musste auf die harte Tour lernen, was Teams hilft, effektiv Wert zu liefern. Nach vielen Fehlschlägen habe ich gelernt, was funktioniert und was nicht. Und das teile ich in meinen Artikeln.
- Hör dir meinen letzten Podcast über Scrum an. Dort habe ich zusammen mit Marc Kaufmann alle Fragen der Zuhörer zu ihren täglichen Herausforderungen mit Scrum beantwortet.
- Schau dir meinen Vortrag über die Skalierung von Scrum an, welchen ich im Agile-Unterfranken-Meetup gehalten habe.
Wenn du noch weitere Fragen hast, schreib mir gerne. Hier meine Kontakt-E-Mail. Wenn du es bis hierher in meinem Profil geschafft hast, dann ist der Weg in mein nächstes Training nicht mehr weit. Ich freue mich darauf, dich bald persönlich kennenzulernen.

Praxisnahe Schulung
Die 2-tägige Schulung war sehr abwechslungsreich. Es gab keine Frontalvorträge, stattdessen konnte man sich die Inhalte in praktischen Übungen selbst erarbeiten. Dadurch wird man auch öfter direkt mit den möglichen Fehlern konfrontiert, was jedoch für den Lernprozess sehr hilfreich ist. Die Übungen und das dazugehörige Hintergrundwissen bereiten sehr gut auf die Zertifizierung vor, da man zu vielen Fragen die Übungen im Hinterkopf hat und alles gut assoziieren kann. So bleibt das Wissen auch nach der Schulung im Kopf.

Ich hatte mit Simon eine SPS Schulung. Obwohl di Schulung online war hat Simon diese sehr interessant und kurzweilig gestaltet mit viel Interaktion und Diskussionen. Simon hat ein tiefes Verständnis von Nexus und kann dieses sehr gut vermitteln. Auch über das Training hinaus hat er meine Fragen beantwortet und ich konnte viele Tipps für die Praxis mitnehmen. Selten so einen guten Trainer gehabt. Ich danke dir!

Excellent Nexus Training
Simon is excellent at making a training seem entertaining, while still achieving a significant learning outcome. I particularly liked the fact that he made a very clear distinction between the methodologically open Scrum and Nexus frameworks and presented useful best practices.

PSPO classroom
I really liked this training, as it gives us a much better understanding about what a product owner should do and should not do.
We had many practical tasks to find the best approach on our own, demonstrative examples and many coloured post-its to visualize.
Now it's up to me to find out how to implement these ideas in a complex organisation.

Zu empfehlen!
Wieder einmal eine super Schulung von und mit Simon! Dies ist nun bereits die zweite SCRUM-Schulung, die ich bei Simon besuche und ich bin nach wie vor positiv überrascht von der Kurzweiligkeit der insgesamt zwei Tage. Viel Interaktion, gute Materialien, lockere Stimmung, super Pausenkonzept.

The training with Simon was absolutely great and helpful. Besides the fact that the training provided a lot of knowledge and experience, it was also really entertaining.

Nexus-Schulung - online gut gemeistert!
Ich mag Online-Schulungen nicht und dafür, dass ich sie nicht mag, fand ich hat Simon die große Truppe von 15 Teilnehmenden gut und eloquent zwei Tage lang durch die Elemente des Nexus-Frameworks geführt... Alle Teilnehmenden hatten genug Raum für Fragen und den wertvollen Erfahrungsaustausch. Ich habe mein Ziel erreicht, das Framework sowie die essentiellen Unterschiede zu anderen Skalierungsframeworks kennenzulernen. Danke.

Super interaktive Nexus Schulung
Sehr intensive zwei Tage. Die Schulungszeit wurde optimal genutzt und durch das gute Trainingskonzept (auch wenn dies zu Anfang sehr ungewohnt war) konnte ich durchgängig konzentriert mitmachen. Wir haben über die Nexus Schulung eine Case Study bearbeitet. Geniale Idee. So konnte ich einen guten Eindruck von den Schwierigkeiten und Benefits bekommen. Vielen Dank Simon für die spannenden 2 Tage und die vielen tollen Eindrücke & Tipps!

Great Training and inspiring group
Simon is a very experienced Trainer and Agilist. He handled the online training very good and was eager to let us fail fast ;-) which is the best learning method.
The training was very helpful, time flew and the group was really cool. I had a lot of take-aways and a lot of fun as well. A lot of experience from the Trainer and the class made the 2 days very valuable.

Ich fand es toll
Ich fand es toll, dass wir Nexus anhand einer Case Study praktisch umsetzen konnten. So konnte ich nicht nur die Theorie zu Nexus erlernen, sondern auch hilfreiche Praxisübungen für die Zukunft mitnehmen. Simon hat sich immer Zeit genommen unsere Fragen zu beantworten und hat immer genug Pausen eingebaut, sodass wir nicht überfordert mit der Menge an Wissen waren.

PAL-EBM
The training gave me a lot of new impulses to better help my teams and the organization to identify and structure goals and to regularly check if we are on the right track by using appropriate metrics and testing hypotheses.
Simon shared a lot of new knowledge with us in just one day. Simon is an experienced and excellent trainer and the training was perfectly organized and structured. The exchange of experiences with the other participants enriched the training.

Technically brilliant, very sensibly structured course
I took the training to learn how to lead a team as a product owner without directly assigning tasks.
My biggest takeaways from the training were how to use strategic and short-term goals to move a self-referential group of people forward step-by-step.
The introduction of the personal experiences of the training leader and his personal approach made the training a special experience for me.
The only small difficulty was that due to the fact that time was getting shorter at the end, it was a little difficult in the last part of the training to follow the transition from learning phases in the plenum to the group learning phase. A little more time could be available here.
Thank you for the excellent training

Very useful training!
Earlier this year I've already participated in the PSPO-A training by Simon, have learned many interesting PO concepts and had great experience.
I also wanted to attend a PAL-EBM training and luckily I won the place in the training, because our firm had one spare place there.
The most interesting part is as always the team work, which is facilitated by an experienced trainer - Simon. In other words: "learning by doing".
I already had some experience with EBM in the PSPO-A training, but in PAL-EBM we went further.
It's hard to point out, what was the most interesting part: everything was important and interesting. And of course - fun!
After the training I attended and successfully passed the PAL-EBM certification, I think there was only 1 wrong answer of the 40. So the training had definitely helped me with that!
Looking forward for the next trainings with Simon!

For leaders in agile or "almost agile" environments.
I participated at the course since I have already agile experience for years but wanted to expand my knowledge. Particularly the focus on the phrase "Leadership" made me signing in for Simons course. I really liked the training very much and gained interesting insights into how to manage uncertainty in complexe issues areas while using empiricism. Even though the content is theoretical Simon provided us lots of practical use examples. Exercise after exercise, lots of practices... definitely no time and opportunity to get bored ;-). A very good training for leaders in agile or "almost agile" environments. Thanks Simon!

EBM- absolut empfehlenswert für Agile Leader, Agile Coaches, Product Owner & Scrum Master
Dieses Training kommt definitiv in meine persönliche Kategorie "Top-Training" - Simon hat einen tollen Trainingsstil und versteht es das Wissen praxisnah und interaktiv zu vermitteln. Langeweile? Fehlanzeige!
Zum Inhalt: Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich mit dem EBM-Ansatz zu beschäftigen - egal ob Führungskraft, Agile Leader, Product Owner, Scrum Master.
Meine größten Takeaways aus dem Training:
1. Definiere outcomebasierte Ziele.
2. SMARTE Ziele? In einer komplexen Welt sollten diese vor allem S "spezifisch" und M "messbar" sein. A-R-T kann unter Umständen den Lösungsraum einschränken.
3. Inspect & Adapt: Experimentiere und lerne aus deinen Erfahrungen - verfeinere deine Ziele, richte sie neu aus & sei mutig genug, sie auch wieder zu verwerfen, wenn deine Erkenntnisse dies ergeben.
4. Der Kurs im "Training from back of the room-Format" hat mir eine Menge Lernzeit erspart. 😉
100% Weiterempfehlung

Eine sehr kurzweilige, super organisierte Schulung. Ganz besonders positiv hervorzuheben ist der hohe Grad an Interaktion und das gutePausenkonzept (10 Minuten Pause pro Stunde). Beides fördert die Konzentration ungemein.

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.

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.

focus is on improving the processes and deepening the agile mindset.

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!

I loved how the training was delivered.
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.

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.

Super Basis-Training
Großartiges, sehr interaktives Training mit realitätsnahen Aufgaben. Die Vorbereitung war absolut notwendig und das Training sehr unterhaltsam. Einzig die Zeit war etwas zu kurz, um die Theorie in unsere Praxis zu übersetzen.

„Wie kann ich mich auf die PSM-3-Prüfung vorbereiten?“
Diese Frage erreicht mich in letzter Zeit häufig über LinkedIn. Die meisten erwarten nun eine einfache Antwort auf diese einfache Frage. Am liebsten noch in Form eines Kochrezepts. Bereite X vor, füge Y hinzu, dreimal umrühren und einmal aufkochen et voilà. Fertig ist das PSM-3-Zertifikat.
Vor einigen Jahren habe ich die PSM-3-Prüfung mit mehr als 90 % bestanden. Ich kann dir versichern: So einfach ist das nicht. Ein Kochrezept, welches jeden befähigt, die Prüfung auf Anhieb zu bestehen, gibt es nicht. Schaue ich aber auf meine Lernreise zurück, so kann ich drei Säulen erkennen, die mir geholfen haben, erfolgreich zu sein.
Diese Säulen möchte ich in diesem Artikel auch mit dir teilen:

Was haben folgende Aussagen gemeinsam?
„In Scrum wird nicht geplant!“
„Das Product Backlog ist das wichtigste Element des Scrum Rahmenwerks.“
„In Scrum fungiert der Scrum Master als der Projektmanager.“
Für mich sind sie ein Anzeichen, dass das Scrum Rahmenwerk noch nicht verstanden wurde.
Selbst auf Meet-ups oder Konferenzen, wo ich vermeintlich erfahrenen Agilisten begegnen sollte, höre ich leider häufig noch diese zweifelhaften Aussagen. In diesem Artikel will ich damit aufräumen.

In diesem Artikel lasse ich dich hinter die Kulissen blicken. In den vergangenen 8 Jahre habe ich bei meiner Arbeit mit Scrum Teams viel über Produktentwicklung gelernt. Welche dieser Einsichten mir beim Schreiben von „Scrum Impulse“ helfen, erfährst du in diesem Artikel:

Engagiert sich dein Scrum Team nicht in den Scrum Events? Fühlt sich jedes Event im Sprint gleich an, nur mit dem Unterschied, dass sich die Nummer des Sprints geändert hat?
Ein Ratschlag, den ich in dieser Situation immer zu hören bekomme, lautet: Dein Team muss sich Ziele für den Sprint setzen. Selbst erfahrene Agile Coaches glauben, dass sich Sprint-Ziele magisch am Ende des Sprint Plannings von selbst ergeben. In meiner über 7-jährigen Arbeit mit Scrum Teams kann ich dir versichern, dass dem nicht so ist. Sprint-Ziele erfordern harte Arbeit und Hingabe von dir als Scrum Master!
Hier 3 Tipps, wie du diese Reise starten kannst und deinem Team hilfst, auf ein Ziel im Sprint hinzuarbeiten.

In den letzten Monaten habe ich viele Workshops durchgeführt, um Teams zu helfen, Scrum und UX zu vereinen.
Das Lean-UX-Canvas ist dafür das beste Werkzeug, denn es liefert einen strukturierten Ansatz, wie UX-Arbeit gemeinschaftlich im Team erfolgen kann. In diesen Workshops sind dabei tiefergehende Fragen aufgetreten. Da ich glaube, dass von den Antworten jeder Scrum-Anwender profitieren kann, möchte ich sie hier mit dir teilen:
