Insightful and full of feedbacks
Insightful and full of feedbacks
Trainers provided deep down feedbacks about corporate-reality in comparison with ideal state with wide range of consequences and scale of scrum's applicability. Detailed classes with knowledge and under the hood information. Tiny, yet effective homework given during classes helped to ensure understanding. Instructors are guys with real experience out of books.

Fantastic class, but I wish I heard more about Scrum in practice at our company
This class was fantastic and I appreciated the scrum learnings. I will say 1) I wish classmates introduced themselves and 2) talked more about their own scrum experiences because real examples of putting scrum into practice were sometimes missing.

Great Depth of Knowledge & Experiance
The depth is experience that Stefan Wolpers possesses was evident in his ability to answer questions of all levels during the 4 training sessions. I particularly appreciated his willingness to tease apart Scrum answers into application in real life with examples.

An exceptional experience!
A very well-structured class with an exceptional didactic concept: It triggered intense discussions about the concepts behind the Scrum Guide's statements and the instructor got this remote group in touch with each other almost as if we had had a face-to-face group. I also very much appreciate the bonus material authored by our instructor Stefan Wolpers, like the Scrum Guide Reordered, which was extremely helpful for preparing the PSM II exam.

It was great
It was great! I felt I was in a meeting of a Community of Practices all the time... with the gentle guidance of Stefan Wolpers.
All the training was well prepared and really balanced. Never felt tired or burned out. A real pleasure and great learning.
Even if another certification is not your beach I would advise taking it.
I learn a lot with my peers attending it and with our mentor/coach/tutor.

For PSM II look no further than Stefan Wolpers
Stefan is a fantastic trainer who brings a wealth of experience and ideas. His facilitation skills are second to none. The use of liberating structures was amazing to experience and learn for my own practice. Everyone in the training remained engaged and you learned just as much from your peers then the trainer.

The instructor was excellent. Nice break up of the material and a good refresher of Agile practices and Scrum.
Suggestion would be to develop more open assessments with questions more like what would be on the certification exam.

Excellent class
Excellent class - Stefan had hands on experience and wisdom to share, and was great at facilitating discussion between us - I expected knowledge sharing and engaging topics, which is exactly what happened - there was a mix between sharing and learning, which really worked for me

A great experience!
Stefans PSM II class was very well prepared and structured.
Participants use a variety of Liberating Structures, self-managing and interactions to learn as a group.
Highly recommended!

Great class to progress scrum knowledge!
A fast moving class where you don't realise you're learning whilst you go. Due to the situation the class was 100% online, Half day meaning there was time to do the course and cover the bases at work and still get a good learning outcome. Stefan Wolpers was knowledgeable and engaging and kept the pace moving so there was never a lull. Thanks to Stefan and the other attendees for making it engaging and fulfilling.

I would totally do this on a daily basis - Great opportunity to learn
Really nice workshop-like mood by facilitating the exercises using Liberating Structures.
The guided structure was set in stone by Stefan and concrete suggestions when needed/requested were provided which basically filled in the dots when I felt the need of knowing more/ when I had questions. (The Parking lot idea was really cool to see in action)
The people that have attended were active and we're focused during the 4-day training sessions and together we have created an exciting experience.
I would totally do this on a daily basis as it is a great opportunity to learn.
Thank you very much again for the engaging training!

We as a group were involved in various mini-workshops and were able to analyze a given case and find solutions, while at the same time share our own experience and knowledge.

Stefan always encouraged participants to be active through teamwork in small groups and collaboration tools. He also provided homework and study materials that are very helpful and useful for working a Scrum team and for the test.

A fantastic Scrum Master I course, well designed and executed :)
I enrolled to this course because, after I did a product owner course, I wanted to understand the perspective of the Scrum Master. I have to say that I would recommend this course much more to people that start with scrum rather than the product owner one, as it's more focused on the core scrum values that the whole team should share.
Concerning the quality of the teaching: I would wholeheartedly recommend you any course with Stefan Wolpers. He knows the trade like nobody else and his methodology helps you in grasping the intricacies of scrum both in a technical and emotional level.
I would encourage you to do this course, even if you are not planning in adopting scrum in your organization! A great experience :)

Reinforced practices and highlighted things that helped in passing the PSM II exam but that was merely a bonus as the content of the class is so useful - certifications or not. Stefan Wolpers is an excellent trainer with broad practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and his classes seem to have very good working atmosphere (this was a second class by him that I have taken).

Fantastic course with Stefan - I specifically chose to join the class that he was facilitating as I was familiar with him from the Age of Product and have enjoyed and learnt from lots of his articles. He didn't disappoint. Hugely knowledgeable and the delivery of the various elements of learning via Mural & Liberating Structures was inspiring and shall be plagiarised! A thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking learning experience for which I must thank him and the other attendees.

Collaborative Learning - PSM II
This training is a great way to guide your understanding on Scrum -once again- in the right direction. It is highly practical, well organised, engaging and demanding -in a positive way.
The teaching is heavily based on pair-work, collaboration and interaction within the group, using Liberating Structures and other exercises.
Most of which, will be easily adjusted to different scenarios, so it's also a great addition to a SM's toolbox. I learned a lot, had fun and met 12 amazing professionals. Thank you, Stefan!

Helpful and engaging
The training was great, it was engaging by having conversation-focused exercises and practicing Liberating structures. I received great materials and knowledge that I can use further on.
We talked briefly about the PSM exam and what to expect, the focus was more on experimenting with new techniques and connecting with other professionals.
I would add that if you are looking to learn new things and remind yourself about core Scrum, this is great training.

The class was organised super well, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague. Structure, length, concept and delivered content were useful to achieve a well-founded and good knowledge-level on Scrum and Scrum Mastery. Stefan did an exceptional job of leading through the class, embracing and encouraging a lively and constructive exchange between all participants. The fact that the class was held remotely via zoom did not constrain us in any way. All selected tools were useful and appropriate. Would definitely recommend this class.

Useful and enjoyable training!
I really enjoyed the training led by Stefan.
I liked that he took on a challenge of teaching virtually, and I think it worked very well - I had a lot of lessons of facilitation from that (Zoom usage in general, strict timeboxing).
I also refreshed my memory, as well as found something new in the role of Scrum Master - I came out from the experience changed :)
Finally, I gained new perspectives - enjoyed the diversity of the participants backgrounds, probably would not be able to meet such people in a class F2F.
In terms of what could be improved - I'd say there is room for optimising. For some exercises - the goals are not fully clarified (E.g. - 4.3 - The Recipe ) - you are thrust into an activity, and then there is a question - ok, so what exactly do we do? Sometimes for me as a participant it's hard to formulate exactly what I could not understand, so clear examples for every exercise goal could help.
Next - discussions sometimes went too long, forcing analysis paralysis or simply delays. I'd suggest to encourage the participants to focus defining their input upfront, and then focusing on reviewing the results, rather than discussing upfront (e.g. - 4.5 Done Increment topic).
Lastly, some questions and participants asking them may went out of hand. It is tough to avoid in training, however, it would be good to have some sort of mechanism for other participants to signal that the topic being discussed is not relevant for them. If the topic is relevant for the person asking the question only - maybe it's worth taking it offline, or into an individual session.

Outstanding PSM II experience
Having looked forward to attending this class, literally for years, it was everything I expected, hoped for and then some. I am so grateful that this was an online virtual class, as it added an additional dimension to the learning, and was incredibly insightful. The trainer did an outstanding job of taking us through the learning plan, facilitating discussions, guiding the outcome and believing in the structures. Whether the learning was tangible curriculum, or intangible observation, it was excellent - made even more solid by the open sharing from my class mates and willingness from everyone to participate.

It was absolutely wonderful experience with this (4 days, 4 hours each) class facilitated by Stefan Wolpers. I am very much impressed on how the 3 day agenda was planned and executed especially using the Liberating structures. There was a not of sharing and learning in the group and real thought process tackling real time issues as a scrum master. I would recommend his session without a doubt.

Stefan is well equipped for this fantastic virtual class. He has created an absolute agile, productive and inspiring environment for all the class members. We've benefited not only the knowledge of Scrum, but also learned a lot of tips and skills of agile by working together. Stefan has also provided us all the materials we need to have a successful exam preparation and furthermore, a great entrance to the agile network worldwide.

PSM I Class - by Berlin Product People GmbH
in every lession you feel, that Stefan Wolpers is a very experienced trainer. Even in a virtual class he encourages you every time to look behind the obvious content to achieve a better understanding.
So if you just want to prepare the excam, this might not be the correct class, but if you want to understand the role of a scrum master deeply, this is the class you should take.

Very good trainer
Very good trainer, shows experience with people and is on top of the game. Stefan has a good feeling for when to cut in and when to let the discussion run a bit. would have been great to spend 5 minutes at the beginning on the different links/chat/murals/drive/docs etc to different tools and where to find what and potentially get a. one finds it all overview.
i would definitely recommend the coach and class to others and am considering to continue with the next level myself as well.

Great interactive class!
I really enjoyed the PSM class from Stefan Wolpers!
The class was based on the concept "scrum is easy to understand but difficult to master", so instead of having a boring frontal lesson Stefan constantly challenged us with funny exercises on how to apply Scrum!
I would really say that only after a 2-day class I really have a better feeling of what are the difficulties in applying scrum and how to overcome them. Also he made us "self-organize" giving clear instruction but leaving us free to accomplish the tasks and it was interesting to see how the "self-organisation" concept of scrum can practically applied.

Great training experience.
It was very interactive with many room for exchange of thoughts and discussions. Furthermore the workshop is well balanced between knowledge input and active training with practical examples.
I can recommend this for everybody who wants to get a first glance on SCRUM.
Just one minor issue is that everything is based on the development of Software and is not easy to translate into Hardware development. But although this was also tried to tackle by our SCRUM teacher.

Stefan's Bio
Scrum found me back in 2006 when the Development Team of my then client asked me to become their Scrum Master and talk some sense into the founder.
At the time, I had no clue what that would entail, but I wanted to help and agreed anyway, and I have been working in the industry ever since as Scrum Master, Product Owner, or agile coach. Typically, my clients fall into two categories: fast-growing, venture capital-backed startups, or large (non-tech) corporations. In both cases, dealing with culture while introducing Professional Scrum has been my focus.
I love sharing knowledge and creating community, thus providing others with new perspectives and opportunities—which is also reflected in my engagement in the agile community: I blog, I curate the Food for Agile Thought newsletter, I host a global Slack community of agile peers, and I am the founder of the Agile Camp Berlin conference.

Insightful and full of feedbacks
Insightful and full of feedbacks
Trainers provided deep down feedbacks about corporate-reality in comparison with ideal state with wide range of consequences and scale of scrum's applicability. Detailed classes with knowledge and under the hood information. Tiny, yet effective homework given during classes helped to ensure understanding. Instructors are guys with real experience out of books.

Fantastic class, but I wish I heard more about Scrum in practice at our company
This class was fantastic and I appreciated the scrum learnings. I will say 1) I wish classmates introduced themselves and 2) talked more about their own scrum experiences because real examples of putting scrum into practice were sometimes missing.

Great Depth of Knowledge & Experiance
The depth is experience that Stefan Wolpers possesses was evident in his ability to answer questions of all levels during the 4 training sessions. I particularly appreciated his willingness to tease apart Scrum answers into application in real life with examples.

An exceptional experience!
A very well-structured class with an exceptional didactic concept: It triggered intense discussions about the concepts behind the Scrum Guide's statements and the instructor got this remote group in touch with each other almost as if we had had a face-to-face group. I also very much appreciate the bonus material authored by our instructor Stefan Wolpers, like the Scrum Guide Reordered, which was extremely helpful for preparing the PSM II exam.

It was great
It was great! I felt I was in a meeting of a Community of Practices all the time... with the gentle guidance of Stefan Wolpers.
All the training was well prepared and really balanced. Never felt tired or burned out. A real pleasure and great learning.
Even if another certification is not your beach I would advise taking it.
I learn a lot with my peers attending it and with our mentor/coach/tutor.

For PSM II look no further than Stefan Wolpers
Stefan is a fantastic trainer who brings a wealth of experience and ideas. His facilitation skills are second to none. The use of liberating structures was amazing to experience and learn for my own practice. Everyone in the training remained engaged and you learned just as much from your peers then the trainer.

The instructor was excellent
The instructor was excellent. Nice break up of the material and a good refresher of Agile practices and Scrum.
Suggestion would be to develop more open assessments with questions more like what would be on the certification exam.

Excellent class
Excellent class - Stefan had hands on experience and wisdom to share, and was great at facilitating discussion between us - I expected knowledge sharing and engaging topics, which is exactly what happened - there was a mix between sharing and learning, which really worked for me

A great experience!
Stefans PSM II class was very well prepared and structured.
Participants use a variety of Liberating Structures, self-managing and interactions to learn as a group.
Highly recommended!

I found Peter Riegersperger’s review of one of Stefan's classes very appropriate: „The moments where he teaches are rare, the moments where he helps you create solutions on your own are plenty“

Great class to progress scrum knowledge!
A fast moving class where you don't realise you're learning whilst you go. Due to the situation the class was 100% online, Half day meaning there was time to do the course and cover the bases at work and still get a good learning outcome. Stefan Wolpers was knowledgeable and engaging and kept the pace moving so there was never a lull. Thanks to Stefan and the other attendees for making it engaging and fulfilling.

I would totally do this on a daily basis - Great opportunity to learn
Really nice workshop-like mood by facilitating the exercises using Liberating Structures.
The guided structure was set in stone by Stefan and concrete suggestions when needed/requested were provided which basically filled in the dots when I felt the need of knowing more/ when I had questions. (The Parking lot idea was really cool to see in action)
The people that have attended were active and we're focused during the 4-day training sessions and together we have created an exciting experience.
I would totally do this on a daily basis as it is a great opportunity to learn.
Thank you very much again for the engaging training!

The class was all about getting practical knowledge on situations and challenges that Scrum Masters face. We as a group were involved in various mini-workshops and were able to analyze a given case and find solutions, while at the same time share our own experience and knowledge. I would definitely recommend taking classes Stefan offers and enhance your skills as a Scrum Master and Agile Practitioner, while at the same time get guidance for successfully passing PSM exams.

Great experience!
It was a second time I attended a training led by Stefan and I strongly recommend. Stefan puts a strong emphasis on liberating structures and students interactions. He's an excellent trainer and his classes are highly engaging. Overall - one of my best learning experiences. I felt very confident taking my PSM II assessment two days after the class and passed on my first attempt.

The Professional Scrum Master II training with Stefan Wolpers was very engaging and interactive, using a healthy dose of Liberating Structures to help embed the learning within our self-managing training groups. It was very rewarding to complete this training delivered by Stefan Wolpers of Berlin Product People GmbH and to share the learning with the other participants.

Great PSPO-I course
The class was well structured. It is a mix of theory and practice. Although it was a live session, it was very interactive. Stefan always encouraged participants to be active through teamwork in small groups and collaboration tools. He also provided homework and study materials that are very helpful and useful for working a Scrum team and for the test.

A fantastic Scrum Master I course, well designed and executed :)
I enrolled to this course because, after I did a product owner course, I wanted to understand the perspective of the Scrum Master. I have to say that I would recommend this course much more to people that start with scrum rather than the product owner one, as it's more focused on the core scrum values that the whole team should share.
Concerning the quality of the teaching: I would wholeheartedly recommend you any course with Stefan Wolpers. He knows the trade like nobody else and his methodology helps you in grasping the intricacies of scrum both in a technical and emotional level.
I would encourage you to do this course, even if you are not planning in adopting scrum in your organization! A great experience :)

Very hands-on class with lots of concrete takeaways to help in real world scenarios. Reinforced practices and highlighted things that helped in passing the PSM II exam but that was merely a bonus as the content of the class is so useful - certifications or not. Stefan Wolpers is an excellent trainer with broad practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and his classes seem to have very good working atmosphere (this was a second class by him that I have taken).

Fantastic course with Stefan
Fantastic course with Stefan - I specifically chose to join the class that he was facilitating as I was familiar with him from the Age of Product and have enjoyed and learnt from lots of his articles. He didn't disappoint. Hugely knowledgeable and the delivery of the various elements of learning via Mural & Liberating Structures was inspiring and shall be plagiarised! A thoroughly enjoyable and thought provoking learning experience for which I must thank him and the other attendees.

Collaborative Learning - PSM II
This training is a great way to guide your understanding on Scrum -once again- in the right direction. It is highly practical, well organised, engaging and demanding -in a positive way.
The teaching is heavily based on pair-work, collaboration and interaction within the group, using Liberating Structures and other exercises.
Most of which, will be easily adjusted to different scenarios, so it's also a great addition to a SM's toolbox. I learned a lot, had fun and met 12 amazing professionals. Thank you, Stefan!
Edina Kuki

Helpful and engaging
The training was great, it was engaging by having conversation-focused exercises and practicing Liberating structures. I received great materials and knowledge that I can use further on.
We talked briefly about the PSM exam and what to expect, the focus was more on experimenting with new techniques and connecting with other professionals.
I would add that if you are looking to learn new things and remind yourself about core Scrum, this is great training.

Perfectly organised/executed - super interactive
The class was organised super well, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague. Structure, length, concept and delivered content were useful to achieve a well-founded and good knowledge-level on Scrum and Scrum Mastery. Stefan did an exceptional job of leading through the class, embracing and encouraging a lively and constructive exchange between all participants. The fact that the class was held remotely via zoom did not constrain us in any way. All selected tools were useful and appropriate. Would definitely recommend this class.

Worth investing in the 4 day
Worth investing in the 4 day - 4 hour each day virtual training. A lot of group discussions and exercises to integrate and help solidify knowledge on Scrum framework. Content never lost focus on value of Scrum framework. Trainer's expertise has influenced learning environment and mission-mindedness to apply skills to help product teams succeed.

Useful and enjoyable training!
I really enjoyed the training led by Stefan.
I liked that he took on a challenge of teaching virtually, and I think it worked very well - I had a lot of lessons of facilitation from that (Zoom usage in general, strict timeboxing).
I also refreshed my memory, as well as found something new in the role of Scrum Master - I came out from the experience changed :)
Finally, I gained new perspectives - enjoyed the diversity of the participants backgrounds, probably would not be able to meet such people in a class F2F.
In terms of what could be improved - I'd say there is room for optimising. For some exercises - the goals are not fully clarified (E.g. - 4.3 - The Recipe ) - you are thrust into an activity, and then there is a question - ok, so what exactly do we do? Sometimes for me as a participant it's hard to formulate exactly what I could not understand, so clear examples for every exercise goal could help.
Next - discussions sometimes went too long, forcing analysis paralysis or simply delays. I'd suggest to encourage the participants to focus defining their input upfront, and then focusing on reviewing the results, rather than discussing upfront (e.g. - 4.5 Done Increment topic).
Lastly, some questions and participants asking them may went out of hand. It is tough to avoid in training, however, it would be good to have some sort of mechanism for other participants to signal that the topic being discussed is not relevant for them. If the topic is relevant for the person asking the question only - maybe it's worth taking it offline, or into an individual session.

Outstanding PSM II experience
Having looked forward to attending this class, literally for years, it was everything I expected, hoped for and then some. I am so grateful that this was an online virtual class, as it added an additional dimension to the learning, and was incredibly insightful. The trainer did an outstanding job of taking us through the learning plan, facilitating discussions, guiding the outcome and believing in the structures. Whether the learning was tangible curriculum, or intangible observation, it was excellent - made even more solid by the open sharing from my class mates and willingness from everyone to participate.

I couldn't ask for more - FANTASTIC Experience
It was absolutely wonderful experience with this (4 days, 4 hours each) class facilitated by Stefan Wolpers. I am very much impressed on how the 3 day agenda was planned and executed especially using the Liberating structures. There was a not of sharing and learning in the group and real thought process tackling real time issues as a scrum master. I would recommend his session without a doubt.

Embracing Agile with Stefan is fun!
Stefan is well equipped for this fantastic virtual class. He has created an absolute agile, productive and inspiring environment for all the class members. We've benefited not only the knowledge of Scrum, but also learned a lot of tips and skills of agile by working together. Stefan has also provided us all the materials we need to have a successful exam preparation and furthermore, a great entrance to the agile network worldwide. I personally enjoyed this very practical training and will definitely recommend Stefan to all the people who isinterested in Scrum.

The class with Stefan was very well structured, delivering a helpful hands-on approach to all the Scrum basics. He managed to cover participants with different levels of expertise and from various fields easily and delivered knew knowledge and value to all of them from my point of view. The culture during these four days was excellent, so that everyone felt capable to speak up. Very much worth the invested time and money!

PSM I Class - by Berlin Product People GmbH
in every lession you feel, that Stefan Wolpers is a very experienced trainer. Even in a virtual class he encourages you every time to look behind the obvious content to achieve a better understanding.
So if you just want to prepare the excam, this might not be the correct class, but if you want to understand the role of a scrum master deeply, this is the class you should take.

Very good trainer
Very good trainer, shows experience with people and is on top of the game. Stefan has a good feeling for when to cut in and when to let the discussion run a bit. would have been great to spend 5 minutes at the beginning on the different links/chat/murals/drive/docs etc to different tools and where to find what and potentially get a. one finds it all overview.
i would definitely recommend the coach and class to others and am considering to continue with the next level myself as well.

Great interactive class!
I really enjoyed the PSM class from Stefan Wolpers!
The class was based on the concept "scrum is easy to understand but difficult to master", so instead of having a boring frontal lesson Stefan constantly challenged us with funny exercises on how to apply Scrum!
I would really say that only after a 2-day class I really have a better feeling of what are the difficulties in applying scrum and how to overcome them. Also he made us "self-organize" giving clear instruction but leaving us free to accomplish the tasks and it was interesting to see how the "self-organisation" concept of scrum can practically applied.

Great training experience
Great training experience.
It was very interactive with many room for exchange of thoughts and discussions. Furthermore the workshop is well balanced between knowledge input and active training with practical examples.
I can recommend this for everybody who wants to get a first glance on SCRUM.
Just one minor issue is that everything is based on the development of Software and is not easy to translate into Hardware development. But although this was also tried to tackle by our SCRUM teacher.
