Stefan Wolpers

Good preparation, facilitation skills, and the pace offered time to reflect and grasp the information.

The PAL-E training has been the 2nd class I took with Stefan and it has been outstanding again. Great content, extremely interactive, fun, intelligent - Stefan's way of getting across knowledge is one-of-a-kind and you can sense his experience in every single statement. Truly the best virtual classes I have visited in my professional life and I can (and already do) highly recommend Stefan's trainings !

Wunderbares Training mit Stefan Stefan ist ein sehr cooler Trainer, der mit vielen Beispielen aus seiner reichhaltigen praktischen Erfahrung das Training anreichert und interessant macht. Zudem führt er souverän durch die Übungen. Insgesamt lernt man in entspannter Atmosphäre mit Spaß sehr viel. Absolut empfehlenswert.

It was a helpful, informative training in a relaxed atmosphere. Stefan was kind, patient and well organized. Thank you!

Very practical and usefull training. A lot of insights, which I'll try to use in day by day activities.

Mr Stefan Wolpers is an amazing trainer. Very knowledgable and patient with our misunderstandings and mistakes. Happy to correct and help to connect to increase understanding. I will most certainly be taking other opportunities when i am able to do so

It was an excellent intro to liberating structures. A mostly collaborative workshop, not so much a class. If you expect exam preparation here, you'll be disappointed. If you want to grow as a Scrum Master, it will certainly be time well spent.

The instructor Stefan was knowledgeable and experienced, and the course material was well-organized and easy to understand. The hands-on exercises and real-world examples helped solidify my understanding of the concepts covered. Overall, I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to advance their understanding of Scrum and agile methodologies.

I'm not a PO, so I took the class to learn more about the role. The class was very informative and interesting. It should also give me a better chance of passing the exam. I also enjoyed meeting the other class participants and hearing about their experiences. Thank you.

Another great class. Great use of liberating structures to ensure equal participation and meaningful discussion between trainees and Stefan as a coach.

The training was detailed, structured and super useful, both in terms of the knowledge gained and meeting fellows sharing experience. Knowledge and tools are applicable in practice as well.

Great presentation of the acrum framework and the role of the product owner with a focus on clarification of the root concepts

Phenomenal class. Great preparation, great organization and a very thorough preparation for the PSM I certification. Even though I already work in a scrum environment it made me understand a few things better and showed me where improvement can be gained. I 100% recommend to visit one of Stefans classes.

The class was really good. The exercises were time boxed well and the class kept a good pace. Stefan did a great job with presenting information and keeping us engaged.

This class was extremely engaging and collaborative. The amount of information conveyed was immense and all of it relative to the work I do on a day to day basis. I highly recommend this class to Product Owners of any level.

Great exercises throughout the training and really liked getting to know the other course attendees.

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.

It had good exercises to help review the Scrum methodology. It was a good refresher.

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.

Learned PO basics with lots of practical examples. The class was really well prepared and organized. It was really fun. Thank you Stefan.

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.

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.

Great class facilitated by Stefan with plenty of interactions, discussions and interactions. The 2-days flew by!

Stefan was great, really awesome instruction and as a Product Owner who works primarily in Kanban I loved the focus on the scrum framework fundamentals.

A good course to get more consciousness about how agile Leaders should act in a complex environment. Stefan guides through the course in a enjoyable clamful and clear way. We had great discussions in the course. I clearly recommend it.

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.

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 - 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

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“

Excellent course with a lot of interactive parts...

Very well structured training, interactive and stimulating! Strongly recommended

A great class - again! Highly hands-on. Big thank you to Stefan for this well organized learning experience.

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.

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!

Highly recommend the approach and style that Stephan used in the training sessions to make the engaged and productive

Great class, good practical examples, very helpful discussions

I took an online class with Stefan. Stefan was very professional throughout. The delivery was great, the course was fun, and he made really good use of coaching techniques and online tools to keep us engaged at all times - quite a feat in a zoom video call!

Stefan delivered the class excellently, keeping us engaged and keeping it well paced and fun. I personally found the subject matter and the teachings very informative and intend to apply what I have learnt.

A tightly packed very good course that serves the purpose very well. Stefan was able to keep the attention level very hight by using different techniques in good intervals.

Enjoyed and learned quite a bit in a very engaged class.

Well structured class with great content. Our tutor Stefan was very knowledgeable and had a pleasant didactic style that made learning interesting and kept us engaged.

Stefans classes are one of the few things I can 100% recommend. You will understand Scrum and Agility, use and learn liberating structures and hear stories and insight from the trenches.

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.

Probably the best training I ever attended. Extremely driven and productive class, with interactive exercises that challenge you to think in Agile manner. Keeps the focus on the point regardless of the remote session. Stefan for sure goes above and beyond to teach you how to be a real Scum master.

Top Training, aus dem ich zahlreiche Impulse für meine Aufgabe als Product Owner mitnehmen konnte

The class with Stefan was very good structured and entertaining. I had a lot of fun AND learned a lot. Recommended!

excellent - vielen Dank!

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.

The course was awesome. The trainer had a different approach for this training - more exercises than lectures. I think this is very useful and I will apply the learned experience in my practice as a Scrum Master.

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.

Very knowledgeable trainer that makes you work through to concepts and topics with small exercises and discussions (rather than going through endless slides) and then providing his insights from several years of experience.

Very interesting and insightful training, super interactive although it was completely done remotely

Very well structured training with a good mixture of theory, practical examples and exercises. The trainer - Stefan Wolpers - showed very good knowledge of the subject and shared his personal experience. The training will foster some changes in my implementation of the Scrum framework.

Stefan's online PSPO-I-class provided the perfect mix of great team-sessions and fascinating presentations.

One of the best courses I have ever made. Stefan transmits the "Scrum spirit" which is anchoring, he transfers the knowledge in an effective and comprehensive way. Thanks!

The content and the pace of the session was perfect. Mr. Stefan W. was very well prepared for each day and that ensured each session progressed smoothly Collaboration tools were used to significantly improve interaction, these were so user friendly that after day one, I did not feel it any different from live sessions,

I can only recommend this course. The teacher is very experienced and the course and tasks very well organized. I can definitely recommend that course. It helped me a lot in understanding what the tasks of a Product Owner is as well as to pass the examen. Thanks Stefan! Michael

Awesome online class. Enjoyed Stefans presentations and the team tasks.

Clear, instructive, perfectly organized and easy to understand! Loved it!

Very professional! I enjoyed the class very much!

Excellente training course.

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 - 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.

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!

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.

This class brought much more than I anticipated. Stefan used great tooling in which concepts became clear and created a balanced way of interaction at the same time. Stefan is a very clear communicator. I've really learned a lot in 4 days.

Great class. Perfectly managed, learned a lot. Great preparation for the PSM 1 certicate. Highly recommended!

Stefan is an amazing teacher. His online course was great and highly interactive. His approach of Scrum is pragmatic, and experience-based.

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.

Stefan expertly guides the class to create knowledge as a group. The moments where he teaches are rare, the moments where he helps you create solutions on your own are plenty.

Excellent training, we learned a lot on the product owner role and scrum in general. All aspects covered were greatly understood by the trainer who also gave good advice on practices. Overall the goal was achieved, and in bonus I managed the certification exam

Many exercises with practical advices.

A highly informative series of classes that naturally built upon what it promised ie - in preparing attendees to become Scrum Masters. Classes had a perfect balance of instructor-led and working group sessions. @Stefan Wolpers - GREAT job at being our instructor..

I have greatly enjoyed this course with Stefan. He takes care that the lessons are always interesting and fun. Moreover, his approach gives room for everyone to express themselves and to get to know to each other. I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

Excellent class, revealing more hands-on practices and strategies to find solutions in the role of PSPO than I expected.

Great experience! The class was highly interactive but also paced to adapt to the participants. We learnt by doing and had a lot of fun in the process!

Well organized, very knowledgeable trainer, made scrum fun while conveying all the important aspects

Very enjoyable class where all your questions get answered. Lot of practical exercises which help to validate what has been learned.

Insightful A very insightful class with great dynamics. Stefan experience flows through, while giving a voice to every atendee to share his/her own providing the right mood on the class.

Very engaging class with great level of energy, information sharing and TBR. Covers Scrum very well and engages participants to explore and learn further.

The Training was well organized and structured. Everything ran easy, smooth and well. It was a lot of fun in a nice class environment.

Very great online class with a lot of room for lively discussions and time for team collaboration. I very much liked that each topic / area of learning was summarized at the end of the section. The summary was clear and well structured. Most of all I had a lot of fun and I am happy to take the things I learned back into my daily business.

Thanks to Stefan Wolpers. The PSM2-class was a great experience in which I learned so much.

I had the pleasure to join Stefan in his PSPO training and I have successfully passed the PSPO I exam. The training is very informative, covering relevant topics well, supported by interactive exercises and nuggets of knowledge from Stefan's own experience. I felt well prepared for the exam and I fully recommend it.

4 half-day training sessions teaching how to be Scrum Product Owner. Useful for both Scrum novices as well as seasoned PO/PM pursuing certification. Stefan (trainer) excels in providing engaging ways to learn Scrum core principles and values as well as sharing his experience of working on different projects.

Stefan’s virtual PSPO class was one of the best training on Scrum I have ever attended. The pace was right, the people were friendly, and Stefan was a superb host and knowledgeable tutor.

Great remote training session, looking at the Scrum and Product Owner basics and more. Great use of Liberating structures to engage the group, different exercises and food for thought!

Stefan's class was outstanding. Not only is Stefan an extremely knowledgable and experienced Scrum expert but also a very calm and nice instructor with an very competent use of tools for remote learning. Additionally we had a very focused and determined group of people attending this online course. If I ever consider doing another Scrum-related course, it will surely be with Stefan.

Good introduction to the Scrum framework in general and the course gives a more detailed description about what the role of a Scrum Master in an organization is about! Very nice summary and overview of most relevant and required documents as preparation for the PSM I certificate. Good recommendations for further reading around the general topic of Agile.

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.

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.

Excellent course and excellent trainer. It was a lot of fun and we exchanged a lot of experience among advanced class mates. @Stefan: keep rocking !

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. 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!

Stefan lives the spirit of Scrum. The class has been very good. Everything has be organized upfront and during the class we did not only learn about Scrum but a lot about the right spirit, methologies and ideas how to work. Useful tasks combined with different ideas how to handle such under remote learning were the basis to a varying course. Thank you very much.
