Stephanie Ockerman was an excellent…
Stephanie Ockerman was an excellent guide and teacher for "Professional Scrum Master Training"! She explained multiple topics in clear and engaging language and brought energy, and I will even say joy to the virtual classroom!
Her mastery of the material was evident as was her ability to make the virtual classroom as engaging and instructive as possible via Zoom and the use of a great interactive, team-friendly and collaborative tool called "MURAL".
Stephanie covered material, was always open for questions, and continuously interspersed activities for small teams in breakout groups that helped us to challenge our old thinking and reinforce the new concepts she was teaching us.
She is a great credit to the Scrum.org team and I highly recommend her course(s) to anyone wanting to learn new ways of working that are more productive, effective, successful, and enjoyable!

Stephanie is an amazing trainer, overloaded with many years of knowledge and experience, who takes time to let things sink in with her students and has a great feel for continuing only when it does.

Feedback on the PSPO training
I like the flow of the training, it wasn't hard to follow even if it was virtual. I also liked that it was organized and starts and ends on time. Stephanie was very knowledgeable on the space and her samples were helpful. It's also good that she provided a quick training on Mural and Zoom first which aided us as we progress in the sessions.

We could see beyond the theory and into our day-to-day work
The training was very insightful and engaging. Throughout the two days, we learned through a combination of general group exercises, smaller group exercises, and master class setup. Most importantly, the concepts were delivered alognside complex examples that allowed the students (and myself) to see beyond the theory and into our day-to-day work.
After this class, I have clarity on the gaps between the way we do SCRUM and Product Management in my organization vs. a professional high performing organization. And I'm excited to share the journey with my team to improve the way we work.

Scrum Values Come Alive While You Learn
Stephanie did a fantastic job leading a fast, but structured review of Product Ownership for our teams virtually. She embodied the scrum values and really made the framework come to life through her stories, empathy, and how she led the class.
You can really see her passion for scrum and enabling others to become successful professional utilizing scrum for value.
Thank you for helpful insights that I can't wait to apply.

Live the experience
A really well-structured course.
It can definitely get challenging and fast-paced while at the same time providing the chance for all participants to take their time to re-ground on what Scrum really is.
Stephanie creates a safe space where participants can learn, share, explore, always with respect to each other.
I would see this course more as an "experience", that i would urge anyone to try and live.

Great instructor
The instructor was very personable and provided a lot of information on the subject matter. Was patient spending the time to respond to questions with understanding and detail. Came away with a better understanding of EBM and how it could be applied in my work. More hands on exercises would have been helpful to practice our ability to create and understand Activity, Output and Outcome focused goals and how the measures are collected and analyzed.

The training with Stephanie Ockerman in Portland
The training with Stephanie Ockerman was really great and helpful. I enjoyed it from the first moment until the end. I especially liked the focussed work staying in our x-minute timeboxes for the training excercises. The training is held at a good pace and the trainer includes everyone to actively participate in the classroom. There are many element which are highly interactive group work. I would recommend that you know some fundamentals about Scrum and that you read the Scrum guide before the training. Other than that.

Fantastic Class and Instruction.
Fantastic Class and Instruction.
I learned so much in this class and had a great time doing it. Come prepared and be ready to collaborate and ask questions and you'll leave with a solid understanding of what it means to be a product owner. You'll get a huge toolset of different practices to try and see if they work within your organization or team.
Stephanie was really knowledgeable and approachable.

It was clear in the 1st hour that Stephanie and Pawel make a great team. They presented the information in a way that was fun and interactive. We all participated in drafting our class working agreement and we stood by it and inspected and adapted it along the way. I'm eager to get back to my team and start to leverage some lessons learned.

The training with Stephanie Ockerman in Portland
The training with Stephanie Ockerman was really great and helpful. I enjoyed it from the first moment until the end. I especially liked the focussed work staying in our x-minute timeboxes for the training excercises. The training is held at a good pace and the trainer includes everyone to actively participate in the classroom. There are many element which are highly interactive group work. I would recommend that you know some fundamentals about Scrum and that you read the Scrum guide before the training. Other than that.

The PSM course taught by Stephanie Ockerman was great! Stephanie was an amazing teacher of the course material. Her passion for the use of the Scrum framework to deliver complex projects and her desire to teach/coach others really showed over the two-day course. Her enthusiasm, excitement and engery kept the course upbeat, interesting and fun! I would highly recommend Stephanie if you or your organization is considering learning more about Scrum.
