Great preparation for the PSM 1 certicate. Highly recommended!” (Link.) \n\n“The class was organised super well\, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague.

He managed to cover participants with different levels of expertise and from various fields easily and delivered knew knowledge and value to all of them from my point of view.

It’s been a genuinely great class! Thank you Stefan!” (Link). \n\n“I attended the PSM I class run by Stefan Wolpers from Berlin Product People in Berlin this November and I am 100% sold. I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course\, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum\, and just a short time into the class\, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before\, during and after the class\, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing)\, and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts.

SUMMARY:Hands-on Agile #53: An Agile Coaches Guide to Storytelling with Bob Galen
DESCRIPTION:TL; DR: Hands-on Agile #53: An Agile Coaches Guide to Storytelling with Bob Galen\n\nJoin us for an enlightening event with Bob Galen on “An Agile Coaches Guide to Storytelling.” In this session\, Bob shares his experience coaching an agile coach struggling to connect with a development manager. He underscores the transformative impact of incorporating personal narratives\, lessons learned\, teaching stories\, and purpose or vision stories into coaching conversations. Bob demonstrates the compelling power of storytelling in agile coaching by using stories to share knowledge and wisdom while fostering dialogue. \n\nTake advantage of this opportunity to discover the magic of Story and how it can significantly improve your coaching approach. (The meetup will be in English.) \n\n\n\n🎟 RSVP now on Meetup.com — Seats are limited! \n\n\n\n🗞 Shall I notify you about articles like this one? Awesome! You can sign up here for the ‘Food for Agile Thought’ newsletter and join 48\,000-plus subscribers. \n\n🎓 Join Stefan in one of his upcoming Professional Scrum training classes! \n\n\nAbstract\n\n“I’m going to tell you a story.” \n\n“I was coaching an agile coach who lamented that they weren’t connecting with their coaching client\, in this case\, a development manager. I asked them to share a typical coaching conversation\, and they spoke about a series of questions they asked that essentially went unanswered—leaving them and the client quite frustrated. I asked them what other coaching techniques they had tried\, and it boiled down to only coaching stances and only open-ended questions.” \n\n“I suggested they experiment with weaving some stories into their coaching conversations. Personal stories\, lesson-learned stories\, teaching stories\, purpose or vision stories\, and relationship or connection-building stories. I spoke to them about sharing their knowledge and wisdom with the client via story\, not dominating the conversation but augmenting it\, and using the story as a backdrop to their questions and explorations with the client.” \n\n“They later told me that this small change significantly impacted their coaching after a bit of practice. This talk is about bringing the power of Storytelling INTO your agile coaching and discovering the magic of the Story. Now\, please share this story with others\, and I hope to see you in the talk…” \n\nMeet Bob Galen\n\nBob Galen is an Agile Practitioner\, Trainer & Coach based in Cary\, NC.

I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course\, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum\, and just a short time into the class\, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before\, during and after the class\, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing)\, and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts.

SUMMARY:🖥 Professional Scrum Master Training w/ PSM I Certificate — Live Virtual Class: June 21-22\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Book Your Seat in the Online PSM Training Class of June 21-22\, 2023\n\nDiscover Scrum’s four success principles in this guaranteed official Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master training class\, leading to and including the industry-recognized PSM I certification. The training will be offered in German.  \n\nEnjoy the benefits of an live-virtual immersive class with like-minded agile peers from 09:00 – 17:30 o’clock CEST. \n\nWe also host pre- and post-class sessions to maximize your learning experience: \n\n\n	Preparation (30 min): One week before the training to get to know each other and check the students’ technology set-up.\n	Follow-up (30-45 min): One week after completing the training\, participants share their first experiences with PSM I certification.\n\n➕ Refresher Classes: Attend a free refresher class as a former student upon arrangement and availability. Here\, a former student may attend a (public) course for a second time to revisit practices and principles. (Attendance does not include recertification\, however.) \n\n📈 PSM I Certification Results 2021/22: While the focus of any class is on lifting your professional skills to the next level\, we are not sidelining the certification. In 2021/22: \n\n\n	94% of course participants took the included PSM I certification.\n	89% of exam takers passed PSM I certification with an average score of 93%. (Required: 85%.)\n\n\n\nPre-requisits: The PSM I class is most effective when you already have some practical experience with Scrum or comparable agile practices. Alternatively\, you need general knowledge in project management and product development. If neither is the case\, I recommend considering attending an Applying Professional Scrum (APS) class first; the PSM I class is not suited for absolute beginners. \n\nBook Your Seat by Email\n\nAs a corporate customer\, you can book your seat by email.

Great preparation for the PSM 1 certicate. Highly recommended!” (Link.) \n\n“The class was organised super well\, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague. Structure\, length\, concept and delivered content were useful to achieve a well-founded and good knowledge-level on Scrum and Scrum Mastery. Stefan did an exceptional job of leading through the class\, embracing and encouraging a lively and constructive exchange between all participants. The fact that the class was held remotely via zoom did not constrain us in any way. All selected tools were useful and appropriate.

Classes had a perfect balance of instructor-led and working group sessions. @Stefan Wolpers – GREAT job at being our instructor.” (Link.) \n\nThe class with Stefan was very well structured\, delivering a helpful hands-on approach to all the Scrum basics. He managed to cover participants with different levels of expertise and from various fields easily and delivered knew knowledge and value to all of them from my point of view. The culture during these four days was excellent\, so that everyone felt capable to speak up. Very much worth the invested time and money! (Link.) \n\n“Amazing class\, amazing trainer\, very helpful and insightful. Stefan provides you with everything you need to know about SCRUM as a Scrum Master. His experience is very impressive. It’s been a genuinely great class! Thank you Stefan!” (Link). \n\n“I attended the PSM I class run by Stefan Wolpers from Berlin Product People in Berlin this November and I am 100% sold. I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course\, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum\, and just a short time into the class\, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before\, during and after the class\, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing)\, and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts.

SUMMARY:Hands-on Agile #51: #NoWaste Agile Estimating with Ron Lichty
DESCRIPTION:TL; DR: Hands-on Agile #51: #NoWaste Agile Estimating with Ron Lichty\n\n“If only Agile had a way to predict when things would be done…” clients have said to Ron. \n\nThe thing is\, Ron points out\, Agile does have a way to predict when things will be done. Even better\, it’s remarkably easy. And in fact better (possibly an order of magnitude better!) than any other approach his teams have ever used. \n\nHe claims he even had a Product Owner say\, “I didn’t know estimating could be FUN!” \n\nJoin this #NoWaste Agile Estimating workshop with Ron Lichty on June 14\, 2023! (The meetup will be in English.) \n\n\n\n🎟 RSVP now on Meetup.com — Seats are limited! \n\n\n\n🗞 Shall I notify you about articles like this one? Awesome! You can sign up here for the ‘Food for Agile Thought’ newsletter and join 45\,000-plus subscribers. \n\n🎓 Join Stefan in one of his upcoming Professional Scrum training classes! \n\n\nAbstract\n\n“If only Agile had a way to predict when things would be done…” clients have said to Ron. \n\nThe thing is\, Ron points out\, Agile does have a way to predict when things will be done. Even better\, it’s remarkably easy. And in fact better (possibly an order of magnitude better!) than any other approach his teams have ever used. \n\nHe claims he even had a product owner say\, “I didn’t know estimating could be FUN!” \n\nRelative sizing (true relative sizing) combined with velocity (the averaged pace of a stable team’s accomplished work per sprint) lets anyone march down the backlog and predict: “we’ll be about here on August 26th”\, and ask\, “do we have the right stuff above the line?” It’s not magic. (But it works like magic!) \n\nSome agilists tell us that estimating does not provide value. Unfortunately\, execs keep asking us for estimates! It turns out\, we can reply with remarkably helpful answers using techniques that are useful not only for estimating but also for chartering and even team-building. \n\nDuring this workshop\, we’ll use a simulation to actually practice estimating that works. \n\nBy attending this session\, you will: \n\n\n	Understand why absolute estimating is futile\n	Effectively execute relative sizing yourself\n	Understand the prerequisites for effective estimating\n	Avoid the pitfalls agile teams too often fall into that undercut effective estimating\n	Combine relative sizing and measures of velocity to predict what will be completed and when.\n\n\nMeet Ron Lichty\n\nRon Lichty\, based in San Francisco and Seattle\, consults with software and product teams and organizations globally to make software development “hum”. Ron’s fifth book\, Managing the Unmanageable: Rules\, Tools\, and Insights for Managing Software People and Teams\, published by Addison Wesley\, has been compared by many readers to programming classics The Mythical Man-Month and Peopleware. Ron also co-authors the periodic Study of Product Team Performance. \n\nPrincipal and owner of Ron Lichty Consulting\, Inc.\, he has trained teams in Scrum\, transitioned teams from waterfall to agile\, coached teams already using agile to make their software development "hum"\, and trained managers in managing software people and teams. He takes on interim VP Engineering roles and to other clients provides VPE-level guidance and advice to untangle the knots in software development and transform chaos to clarity. \n\nHe has led teams and organizations at companies like Apple Computer\, Fujitsu\, Charles Schwab\, Avenue A / Razorfish\, Forensic Logic\, Stanford\, Check Point\, and dozens of startups of all sizes. He co-chairs the Silicon Valley Engineering Leadership Community\, Managing Software Teams in Seattle\, and the Enterprise Agile Global Community. \n\nConnect with Ron Lichty\n\nRon Lichty’s Website \nRon Lichty on Twitter \nRon Lichty on LinkedIn \n\n🎟 RSVP now on Meetup.com — Seats are limited! \n\n📅 Scrum Training Classes\, Workshops\, and Events\n\nLearn more about #NoWaste Agile Estimating with our Scrum training classes\, workshops\, and events.

Reinforced practices and highlighted things that helped in passing the PSM II exam but that was merely a bonus as the content of the class is so useful – certifications or not. Stefan Wolpers is an excellent trainer with broad practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and his classes seem to have very good working atmosphere (this was a second class by him that I have taken).” (Link.) \n\n“It was a second time I attended a training led by Stefan and I strongly recommend. Stefan puts a strong emphasis on liberating structures and students interactions. He’s an excellent trainer and his classes are highly engaging. Overall – one of my best learning experiences. I felt very confident taking my PSM II assessment two days after the class and passed on my first attempt.” (Link.) \n\n“Fantastic course with Stefan – I specifically chose to join the class that he was facilitating as I was familiar with him from the Age of Product and have enjoyed and learned from lots of his articles. He didn’t disappoint. Hugely knowledgeable and the delivery of the various elements of learning via Mural & Liberating Structures was inspiring and shall be plagiarised! A thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking learning experience for which I must thank him and the other attendees.” (Link.) \n\n“This training is a great way to guide your understanding on Scrum -once again- in the right direction. It is highly practical\, well organised\, engaging and demanding -in a positive way. The teaching is heavily based on pair-work\, collaboration and interaction within the group\, using Liberating Structures and other exercises. Most of which\, will be easily adjusted to different scenarios\, so it’s also a great addition to a SM’s toolbox. I learned a lot\, had fun and met 12 amazing professionals. Thank you\, Stefan!” (Link.) \n\n“Outstanding PSM II experience: Having looked forward to attending this class\, literally for years\, it was everything I expected\, hoped for and then some. I am so grateful that this was an online virtual class\, as it added an additional dimension to the learning\, and was incredibly insightful. The trainer did an outstanding job of taking us through the learning plan\, facilitating discussions\, guiding the outcome and believing in the structures. Whether the learning was tangible curriculum\, or intangible observation\, it was excellent – made even more solid by the open sharing from my classmates and willingness from everyone to participate.” (Link.) \n\n“First of all\, thanks to Stefan Wolpers for hosting a truly\, truly amazing PSM II class with spirited\, passionate individuals and exciting discussions.” (Link.) \n\n“Excellent course and excellent trainer. [The PSM II class] was a lot of fun and we exchanged a lot of experience among advanced class mates. @Stefan: keep rocking !” (Link.) \n\n“Thank you Stefan Wolpers for the great Scrum workshop and everyone else for the amount of great conversations we had. Definitely learnt a lot!” (Link.) \n\n“It was absolutely wonderful experience with this (4 days\, 4 hours each) class facilitated by Stefan Wolpers. I am very much impressed on how the [4-day] agenda was planned and executed especially using the Liberating structures.

The training will be offered in German.  \n\nEnjoy the benefits of an live-virtual immersive class with like-minded agile peers from 09:00 – 17:30 o’clock CEST. \n\nWe also host pre- and post-class sessions to maximize your learning experience: \n\n\n	Preparation (30 min): One week before the training to get to know each other and check the students’ technology set-up.\n	Follow-up (30-45 min): One week after completing the training\, participants share their first experiences with PSM I certification.\n\n➕ Refresher Classes: Attend a free refresher class as a former student upon arrangement and availability. Here\, a former student may attend a (public) course for a second time to revisit practices and principles. (Attendance does not include recertification\, however.) \n\n📈 PSM I Certification Results 2021/2: While the focus of any class is on lifting your professional skills to the next level\, we are not sidelining the certification. In 2021/2: \n\n\n	94% of course participants took the included PSM I certification.\n	89% of exam takers passed PSM I certification with an average score of 93%. (Required: 85%.)\n\n\n\nPre-requisits: The PSM I class is most effective when you already have some practical experience with Scrum or comparable agile practices. Alternatively\, you need general knowledge in project management and product development. If neither is the case\, I recommend considering attending an Applying Professional Scrum (APS) class first; the PSM I class is not suited for absolute beginners. \n\nBook Your Seat by Email\n\nAs a corporate customer\, you can book your seat by email.

Great preparation for the PSM 1 certicate. Highly recommended!” (Link.) \n\n“The class was organised super well\, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague. Structure\, length\, concept and delivered content were useful to achieve a well-founded and good knowledge-level on Scrum and Scrum Mastery.

The fact that the class was held remotely via zoom did not constrain us in any way. All selected tools were useful and appropriate.

He managed to cover participants with different levels of expertise and from various fields easily and delivered knew knowledge and value to all of them from my point of view. The culture during these four days was excellent\, so that everyone felt capable to speak up. Very much worth the invested time and money! (Link.) \n\n“Amazing class\, amazing trainer\, very helpful and insightful. Stefan provides you with everything you need to know about SCRUM as a Scrum Master. His experience is very impressive. It’s been a genuinely great class! Thank you Stefan!” (Link). \n\n“I attended the PSM I class run by Stefan Wolpers from Berlin Product People in Berlin this November and I am 100% sold. I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course\, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum\, and just a short time into the class\, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before\, during and after the class\, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing)\, and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts.

Reinforced practices and highlighted things that helped in passing the PSM II exam but that was merely a bonus as the content of the class is so useful – certifications or not. Stefan Wolpers is an excellent trainer with broad practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and his classes seem to have very good working atmosphere (this was a second class by him that I have taken).” (Link.) \n\n“It was a second time I attended a training led by Stefan and I strongly recommend. Stefan puts a strong emphasis on liberating structures and students interactions. He’s an excellent trainer and his classes are highly engaging. Overall – one of my best learning experiences. I felt very confident taking my PSM II assessment two days after the class and passed on my first attempt.” (Link.) \n\n“Fantastic course with Stefan – I specifically chose to join the class that he was facilitating as I was familiar with him from the Age of Product and have enjoyed and learned from lots of his articles. He didn’t disappoint. Hugely knowledgeable and the delivery of the various elements of learning via Mural & Liberating Structures was inspiring and shall be plagiarised!

Whether the learning was tangible curriculum\, or intangible observation\, it was excellent – made even more solid by the open sharing from my classmates and willingness from everyone to participate.” (Link.) \n\n“First of all\, thanks to Stefan Wolpers for hosting a truly\, truly amazing PSM II class with spirited\, passionate individuals and exciting discussions.” (Link.) \n\n“Excellent course and excellent trainer.

Definitely learnt a lot!” (Link.) \n\n“It was absolutely wonderful experience with this (4 days\, 4 hours each) class facilitated by Stefan Wolpers. I am very much impressed on how the [4-day] agenda was planned and executed especially using the Liberating structures. There was a not of sharing and learning in the group and real thought process tackling real time issues as a scrum master.

Stefan Wolpers is an excellent trainer with broad practical and theoretical knowledge on the subject and his classes seem to have very good working atmosphere (this was a second class by him that I have taken).” (Link.) \n\n“It was a second time I attended a training led by Stefan and I strongly recommend.

Thank you\, Stefan!” (Link.) \n\n“Outstanding PSM II experience: Having looked forward to attending this class\, literally for years\, it was everything I expected\, hoped for and then some.

Whether the learning was tangible curriculum\, or intangible observation\, it was excellent – made even more solid by the open sharing from my classmates and willingness from everyone to participate.” (Link.) \n\n“First of all\, thanks to Stefan Wolpers for hosting a truly\, truly amazing PSM II class with spirited\, passionate individuals and exciting discussions.” (Link.) \n\n“Excellent course and excellent trainer.

Keeps the focus on the point regardless of the remote session.

He knows the trade like nobody else and his methodology helps you in grasping the intricacies of scrum both in a technical and emotional level. I would encourage you to do this course\, even if you are not planning in adopting scrum in your organization! A great experience :)” (Link.) \n\n“Great class. Perfectly managed\, learned a lot. Great preparation for the PSM 1 certicate. Highly recommended!” (Link.) \n\n“The class was organised super well\, at no point in time was anything unclear or vague. Structure\, length\, concept and delivered content were useful to achieve a well-founded and good knowledge-level on Scrum and Scrum Mastery. Stefan did an exceptional job of leading through the class\, embracing and encouraging a lively and constructive exchange between all participants. The fact that the class was held remotely via zoom did not constrain us in any way. All selected tools were useful and appropriate. Would definitely recommend this class.” (Link.) \n\n“A highly informative series of classes that naturally built upon what it promised ie – in preparing attendees to become Scrum Masters. Classes had a perfect balance of instructor-led and working group sessions. @Stefan Wolpers – GREAT job at being our instructor.” (Link.) \n\nThe class with Stefan was very well structured\, delivering a helpful hands-on approach to all the Scrum basics. He managed to cover participants with different levels of expertise and from various fields easily and delivered knew knowledge and value to all of them from my point of view. The culture during these four days was excellent\, so that everyone felt capable to speak up. Very much worth the invested time and money! (Link.) \n\n“Amazing class\, amazing trainer\, very helpful and insightful. Stefan provides you with everything you need to know about SCRUM as a Scrum Master. His experience is very impressive. It’s been a genuinely great class! Thank you Stefan!” (Link). \n\n“I attended the PSM I class run by Stefan Wolpers from Berlin Product People in Berlin this November and I am 100% sold. I came here intentionally to better understand how our product department works and to get some new impulses on my own projects but after preparing for the course\, I started getting hooked on the possibilities of scrum\, and just a short time into the class\, I seriously started considering looking into shifting fields over to the fascinating world of agility. Thanks to Stefan for being so extremely resourceful before\, during and after the class\, filling the course with interesting real-life examples (also props to the other participants for sharing)\, and creating community rather than just sending you off with two days of memories and some printouts. Incredible class\, great content\, 100% recommended.” \n\n\nTL; DR: Online Professional Scrum Master Training (PSM I)\n\nThe Online Professional Scrum Master training by Berlin Product People is an official Scrum.org class leading to and including the industry-acknowledged PSM I certification.  \n\n\n\nWho Shall Attend the Online PSM I Training?\n\nThis training is well suited for aspiring Scrum Masters from all industries—engineering to finance to transportation to pharmaceuticals\, to name a few.
