Stephanie's work is fantastic!
Stephanie's work for this delivering this class is fantastic an excellent balance between knowledge delivery and workshop, she takes the time to clarify as much as possible even though there could be a lot to cover that time isn't always enough. I feel supported and oriented since the prep, while the execution and post followup.

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 a great trainer who has a great feel knowing when her students ‘get it’ befote she continues
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. Thanks to many of her personal examples sprinkled throughout the class, it truly was an amazing experience.

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.

David Donnison
Insightful and thought-provoking
The wealth of examples Stephanie make her classes always very insightful. Her questioning technique provokes a lot of thinking and each time keeps triggering me how I can apply the principles and concepts of the course. Step-by-step, to keep improving together with the teams I coach. No silver bullets, yet different perspectives that help me to find better ways.

Excellent class PSM II by Stephanie Ockerman! Thank you very much (great facilitation techniques, insights, discussions, fun, a lot of useful information about scrum/coaching agile teams, book tipps!). I enjoyed and appreciated it very much. It was very helpful for my personal growth as scrum master and the certification as well.
Dr. Marcela Takacova
Excellent class
Excellent class! Stephanie really leaned us into the core of scrum and how it helps us within our teams and organization. The structure of the sessions was engaging and stimulating to gain real world examples and differing views. She exhibited respect by listening to us, openness with her past experiences, courage to receive tough feedback, commitment in ensuring we received valuable lessons, and focus on the reason we were all there! :)

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 Training
The training was great and very interesting, the virtual mode was very challenging considering the amount of material to review during a 3 day period.
Karina Pino Castro
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.
S Kitchen

Great training! It was very hands-on and helped answer a number of questions I've had on EBM. Highly recommend.

Stephanie created an open space for us all to learn as a group and went the extra mile to answer specific questions about our individual situations. I gained a deeper knowledge of the Scrum Framework and the role of a Scrum Master. I am excited to take what I learned back to my team and continue leverage Scrum for our organization.

Stephanie is the BEST trainer!
Stephanie was a fantastic trainer. I felt like she kept the class interesting (which is hard to do in the virtual world) and also made sure the material was easy to digest. I feel very prepared for the test. I would definitely take another class offered by Stephanie. She is the best and if you sign up for her courses you will not be disappointed!

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.
