High pace knowledge sharing
The online training provided by Laurens was full of energy. Laurens is a true master of words. High pace knowledge sharing in a very constructive way.

Excellent Class! Would highly recommend
I found the class really interesting and very interactive.
Content and presenter were excellent and I like that we went to rooms with different people all the time so we got to know them a bit and work with everyone in the team.

Review of PSPO-I
This was a very informative course with good discussions and thorough explanations of the concepts.
Overall I recommend the course.

Great PSPO class!
Great class. Willem knows so much about it that he has to speak fast en sometimes need the breaks. His examples are very usefull and practical also related to the scrum theory. So, if you look for a product owner class: go to Xebia and ask for Willem.

Good online course
Although it is conducted online, with the use of collaborative board and breakout room, the course is full of interactivity and information.

Highly interactive class that really…
Highly interactive class that really dug into the chore of product ownership. Really liked the way Willem Vermaak supported the class with visuals created on-the-spot and not only brouyght knowledge across biut also managed to provide me with several new insights - even though I have been working in PO related roles since 2010.

Willem's Bio
Hi there! Nice to meet you!
As Professional Scrum Trainer for the PSPO and PSF class, I take great joy out of coaching, guiding and training new or existing Product Owners.
Over the last years, as a product leadership consultant I've build extensive knowledge on the Scrum framework and how to adopt it into organisations. Combining emerging practices with the Scrum framework, you can really achieve great things and build true valuable solutions for your customers!
In my current role as Manager Operations for our Xebia Academy I take great joy in applying the concepts of the Scrum Framework, whilst building a great community of trainers and students to deliver high quality (Scrum) courses.
