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 view on agility for agile leaders
This training gives an excellent view on agility from the perspective of agile leaders. Learning how to best support the organisation towards the delivery of high value increments and giving agile teams the best support they can have was very enlightening. The online training format was highly including and interactive, many thanks to our trainer Simon Flossmann for the guidance and deep discussions!

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
Thanks Jesse and Simon

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.

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.

This class was an excellent opportunity for me to learn about Nexus. We had practical and theoretical input that enabled me to fully understand the power behind Nexus and its principles. 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!

Wirklich gut!
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.

It feels great to know the basic and the importance of its framework and core values. It inspires me to reflect and apply Scrum values in my team.

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.

Great PSM II training
The PSM II training by Marc Kaufmann and Simon Flossmann was very well structured and very informative. I particularly liked the many interactive exercises. Both trainers have very good Scrum knowledge and were always available for questions. They both harmonized well with each other as a moderator team. At the end of the training I felt well prepared for the PSM II online exam and can warmly recommend the training.

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.

The Professional Scrum Master II class was excellent. The contents, materials and agenda were very good organized. The Trainers perfectly qualified to transfer their knowledge.

I am really happy, it was a good investment, it helped me clarify many things, it helped to prepare for the PSMII assessment and I came back to work with a lot of new ideas and motivation.

Great trainers, great training
Both trainers Marc Kaufmann and Simon Flossmann really did an excellent job in this training. They tought us advanced practical knowledge about the role of the Scrum Master within the Scrum framework. Although we were limited by the pandemic, they managed to train us by using the right tools in a virtual classroom. It was a great experience.

I learned a lot of new things and enjoyed being in this class with two excellent trainers. Both gave me the impression that they have a deep practical and theoretical knowledge about scaling scrum with nexus. I would definitely recommend this class when you are dealing with scaling - currently or in the near future.

Great PSM II training
The PSM II training by Marc Kaufmann and Simon Flossmann was very well structured and very informative. I particularly liked the many interactive exercises. Both trainers have very good Scrum knowledge and were always available for questions. They both harmonized well with each other as a moderator team. At the end of the training I felt well prepared for the PSM II online exam and can warmly recommend the training.

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.

Funny, intensive and well preparing course!
It was an intensive, fun training in which we were super prepared for the exam. Simon explained everything well and, if necessary, steered us in the right direction to get through all the material in the short time available.

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.

Excellent PSM II class
The Professional Scrum Master II class was excellent. The contents, materials and agenda were very good organized. The Trainers perfectly qualified to transfer their knowledge. We were challenged to solve problems and could practice and ask a lot of questions. I am really happy, it was a good investment, it helped me clarify many things, it helped to prepare for the PSMII assessment and I came back to work with a lot of new ideas and motivation.

How effectively a Nexus works depends on its ability to eliminate dependencies. Eliminating dependencies simplifies integration. Scrum Masters who efficiently perform cross-team refinements save time. Saving time saves money.

When scaling Scrum, we balance cost and effort with benefits and advantages. Costs and effort come from adding teams. Benefits and advantages come from delivering more value in the same amount of time.

Sind mehrere Product Owner nötig, um Scrum effektiv zu skalieren? Nein.
Dass in skalierter Produktentwicklung mehrere Product Owner von Nöten sind, ist ein weit verbreiteter Irrglaube. Dieser Beitrag räumt mit diesem Irrglauben auf. Wird die Product Owner Rolle durch mehrere Personen skaliert, führt es zu Wertminimierung, steigendem Risiko und unnötiger Verlängerung der Time to Market. Es ist somit eine ineffektive Art, Product Ownership zu skalieren.

Heute, am 18. November 2020, pünktlich zum 25. Geburtstag von Scrum, haben Ken Schwaber und Jeff Sutherland den Scrum Guide aktualisiert.
Um eines gleich vorwegzunehmen: Scrum bleibt Scrum. Ein einfaches Rahmenwerk, welches es Teams ermöglicht, mit der Arbeit an komplexen Problemen zu beginnen. Und der Scrum Guide 2020 ändert daran nichts.
Einige Dinge sind jedoch neu und denen widmen wir uns jetzt.

In meinen Professional Scrum Master Trainings beantwortet ein Großteil der Teilnehmer diese Frage mit: “Hoffentlich so früh wie möglich, denn als Scrum Master ist es unsere Aufgabe uns selbst überflüssig zu machen.” Haben Sie damit Recht?
