Bart Versteegen

I recently joined the two-day PSPO Advanced course, and it was a great experience. The sessions combined just the right amount of theory and practical exercises. The group discussions were making the content easy to connect to real-life situations. The trainer brought valuable real-world examples and encouraged open conversations, which helped me see new ways to maximize product value and work with stakeholders more effectively. It’s also well suited if you’re planning to take the PSPO II exam, but even more valuable for developing as a Product Owner in practice.

I recently completed a Product Owner course and I’m genuinely impressed by the clarity and structure of the lessons. Each module was well organized, making even complex topics easy to understand. What really stood out was the teaching style. The instructor had a great sense of humor and a very engaging way of explaining things. It made the learning experience not only informative but also enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their understanding of product ownership in a fun and effective way.

Great trainer with lots of experience. Although the scrum framework can be tricky to bring into practice, the trainer knew possible solutions to every challenge. The training helps you to apply PSPO notions by working with a challenge, although I did miss a section on how to get started on applying it to your own work. Also great practice for the PSPO exam.

The PSPO training was a valuable and insightful experience. Both trainers have an impressive amount of knowledge as well as extensive hands-on experience, which made the training highly relevant and practical. The sessions were very interactive, with plenty of room for questions, discussions, and applying theory to real-life scenarios. This made the content tangible and directly applicable, rather than abstract. I gained a lot of insight into the Product Owner role and now feel more confident and equipped to take it on effectively. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone looking to take their Scrum and product development skills to the next level!

Very good, learned a lot

Bart is very experienced as a product owner and also knows how to transfer his experience to his students.

Learning effectively

I recently attended the two-day Product Owner training at Prowareness, and this was a valuable and energetic experience. Our trainer, Bart Versteegen, was fantastic. Not only did he explain the material clearly and effectively, but his enthusiasm and humor made the sessions truly engaging. There was never a dull moment, as the training was packed with interactive exercises and group activities that brought the theory to life. What really set this training apart was the dynamic atmosphere. Thanks to Bart’s approach, everyone felt comfortable asking questions, sharing experiences, and—most importantly—learning by doing. The combination of real-life examples, group assignments, and open discussions ensured that the knowledge really stuck. Now I have concrete tools to apply in practice. I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to grow as a Product Owner.

It was actually fun spending 2 full days at Prowareness in Utrecht to learn the finer points of being a Professional Scrum Product Owner. The trainers really made an effort to keep the group engaged and energized through assignments but most importantly humor! Great use of flip-overs where a screen and powerpoint is the standard.

Na 2 dagen een ontzettend gave training bij Prowareness (PSPO -A) in Utrecht te hebben mogen volgen, en wat vooral een feestje werd door trainer Bart Versteegen, mag ik mijzelf nu ook gecertificeerd PSPO II (scrum.org) product owner noemen. Ik heb tijdens deze dagen kennis mogen maken met Jack Sparrow en de CEO Dave van Old News wat natuurlijk al een bijzondere ervaring was 😉 Ik wil Bart enorm bedanken voor zijn humoristische, energieke en zeer waardevolle lesdagen en vanzelfsprekend mijn (ervaren) mede cursisten waar ik uiteraard ook veel van heb mogen leren.

It was a very nice and interactive two-day training with Bart. He has a great understanding about the subjects and is able to convey the message with a hint of humor as well. Overall it was a great experience which I would recommend Products Owners who want to up their game.

Relevante en leuke training voor POs om je vakmanschap te verhogen.

Due to the training approach, the material really came to life, and I became enthusiastic about applying it in the business world. This is truly thanks to the way the lessons were taught.

The training was well planned with a fast pace variety of theory and practice. I think it works best with at least 6 months of experience as a PO to be able to fully benefit from the rich material that will be offered.

2 inspiring days with many practical exercises, a motivated group and great teacher.

Bart gave a really inspirational and interactive class. He used great examples from his own experience to specify specific scrum examples.

Very nice training given by Bart, his explanation is clear and is very helpfull to all questions being asked. A real big recommendation if you are looking in to this training! Thanks again Bart for all of your help

Bart has a fun and interactive way of teaching which makes for great course

Great teacher! Knowledgable in both theory and practice

The course had great in practice involvement of the theory. We were taught by immediately doing, in a nice, collaborative, and save environment. Teacher was great in connecting participants learning goals to the course.

Great trainer with a nice way of working

Bart trained us with to develop our product owner skills in a professional way, time for a laugh and very clear explanation what is agile and what not.

Leuke interactieve training, die als goede voorbereiding dient voor het PSPO1 examen

The training gives me lots of goods insights to the role of Product Owner and way of Agile and Scrum vision and methodology. It will be very helpful in my day to day work. The trainer made me enthusiastic to embrace the scrum way of working.

Compliments to Bart

Bart is extremely helpful and willing to adapt to his audience. Her nurtures discussion and provides a safe platform to interact.

Given by a great duo of teachers with lively dynamic between them. Great format of teaching with almost all non-digital teaching materials during the classes (i.e. not merely powerpoint presenting)

Good mix of theory and exercises, nice pace!

The course was interactive with a small group of participants with the same goal. Time was managed well, and it was learningfull. Instructor was capable and well informed.

Experienced and enthousiastic teacher. Bart Versteegen is an experienced Product Owner and an enthousiastic teacher who can link theory and practise.

Good experience

Informal and practical introduction to the world of SCRUM and Product Owner

Bart is a very knowledgeable tutor that can explain and transmit the Scrum framework knowledge. His personal experiences allow the students to get insight in how situations in real life can be handled.

Bart Versteegen is clearly passionate about his work and is able to 'move' others. We all felt comfortable to ask questions and share our individual stories and struggles within our companies.

Never had such an energizing training, where the balance was almost perfect between theory, group assignments and breaks. Bart knows how to present the matter in a targeted and concise manner with humor.

Great overview with good examples, complete training without PowerPoint was great and the trainer was highly motivated.

Bart gives a great training through a good mix of listening and doing stuff. He make sure that jou keep your focus al the way. I'm feeling comfortable towards the exam.

Bart was a great trainer that balanced theory with practice perfectly.

Erg leerzaam met een gezonde dosis humor. Aanrader!

Very interactive

Good atmosphere, nice way of handling the theory mixed with use cases and applying PO skills in practise. Indian street foot for lunch was a nice bonus.

Great overview and real-life examples. Easily understandable and sufficiently in-depth.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the excellent job that Bart did during the two-day Professional Scrum Product Owner training. His ability to engage the participants, deliver the material with clarity, and provide practical examples made the training incredibly valuable. His emphasis on becoming a better visionary and storyteller resonated with me, and your positive and enthusiastic approach created a great learning environment. Thank you for sharing your experience and insights. Keep up the fantastic work!

No Powerpoint but two interactive days working together.

Lekkere actieve cursus die je alle facetten van het faciliteren laat ervaren. Faciliteren kun je leren, de insteek van Bart, is een goede basis voor deze cursus.

We had an amazing course with Bart, very energetic and enthusiastic person :) . The course had a good balance between theory and practice.

I enjoyed the course of Product Owner 1. It was a nice mix between practice and theory. Bart did a good job as a teacher with his knowledge and planning and especially created a nice vibe in the classroom.

Er tevreden met de training die ik gevolgd heb. Ik ben bij Prowareness een training gaan volgen omdat deze goed aangeschreven stond en de training ook veel startmomenten had om uit te kiezen. Tijdens de training was de instructeur duidelijk in de uitleg en werd er regelmatig afgewisseld tussen theorie en praktijk(casus). Het was een interactieve training waarbij je zelf ook actief bezig was. Al met al zeker een aanrader.

Nice, thougthfull and interactive training, good mix of listeningn and doing

The instructor was very knowledgeable about the materials and knew how to implement the theories in a fun and engaging manner.

Right balance between theory and practical/interactive exercises made this training course very enjoyable.

I have good experiences with Prowareness regarding other trainings ('DevOps foundation' and 'Leading SAFe'): - Trainers with good skills - Good training locations - Good preparations for the assessments

Good focus and atmosphere. Tutor Bart Versteegen is excellent in putting the focus on the right subjects, keeps the energy at the right level.

Energetic course, with lively teaching, good examples, good speed, kind teachers.

Very interactive training. Teacher was well prepared.
