Excellent. Show me more!
The class material is very well organized and the instructor was awesome! I wanted to learn more about story writing, conflict management, and Scrum transformation techniques so I'll just have to come back for II and III. Thank you!

I think Scrum is the best
I think Scrum is the best think that can happen to projects ran today for non IT fields of expertise, which never the less use IT applications.
Ex. Building a truck, is a mechanical /electrical assembly, but engines, transmissions, etc are SW controlled, therefore need coordination between SW releases and stages of product development.
What the biggest gain of all is, in my opinion, is the transparency that keep everybody progressing.
I would not see such a complex project being ran with a Waterfall approach, and I think the principles and values in Scrum would bring the most benefits while keeping development cost at bay and all customers happy.

Fun & Engaging
Firstly, Todd is an amazing teacher and communicator. He made the PSF class extremely fun and engaging. I had the pleasure of being in the class with a few colleagues, and it was beneficial to do the exercises together. It opened up dialogue and helped us share our gripes and views on all of the course content. I'm excited to finally be a member and part of Scrum.org.

Faciliation makes a difference
After attending several different training classes over the past couple of months, this was my favorite. The interactive facilitation makes you an engaged participant and not just a PowerPoint reader. it motivates me to move forward with the certification process.

5 Stars for Todd Miller and PSPO Training
After being a Scrum Master for 3 years and a Product Owner for 2, I can honestly say that the PSPO training that was provided by Todd Miller has been one of the best I've ever taken in my career. The curriculum was outstanding, had great exercises and was very interactive. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it and look forward to the PSPO level 2 training.

From my go-to barbecue chicken to practicing Scrum, I have tried adding many different ingredients over the years. Is there a point when too many ingredients get in the way of the original recipe? Would the Scrum framework in your world of work be more optimal with less of them?

You’ve implemented Agile into your organization and hired professionals with Agile experience on their résumé to back it up. Yet, something is still not right. The gains that Agile promised don’t seem to be coming to fruition. Delivery times aren’t faster than they were before.

I've recently been involved with several Scrum Teams that are struggling to have the right level of detail in their Product Backlog items. Some symptoms: difficulty during Sprint Planning sessions, a massive or very small Product Backlog, or a lack of understanding during a Sprint. All of the teams I spoke with had refinement activities in place.

A Scrum myth that I have encountered: Not finishing all Sprint Backlog Items in a Sprint is perceived as a failure. I have seen organizations go as far as implementing performance indicators around Sprint Backlog completion percentage (yikes!).
