"Enthusiastic, experienced and knowledgeable trainer. Xaveer definitely knows how to teach, using inspiring examples and practical assignments. He takes time to answer all questions, no matter if they are related to the scrum theory but or the daily struggles as a product owner. After the two day course I was inspired to take the next step for my product with all my stakeholders and scrum team. Thank you Xaveer." - 18-11-2022 19:58

"Well-designed PSPO course with a lot of supplementary information (and not only "how to pass the test") - emphasis on how to apply scrum in the role of PO. I especially liked the entrepreneurial top-to-bottom approach that showed all the usual pitfalls of product development and taught us how to approach solving them. Would recommend this course not only to prospective POs but also managers (all the way to C-suite) to better understand people and processes within the organization." - 07-11-2022 13:10

"The PSPO training was informative and inspiring. Xaveer is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and how to apply it from a practical standpoint.
The course itself consisted of an engaging mix of theory and interactive group exercises; enabling you to absorb the subject matter quickly by applying it yourself and discussing it with peers.
The method in which the theory was presented also provided a good insight in the progress of the course and made it very easy to revisit earlier topics when needed to further solidify ones understanding.
Highly recommended." - 25-04-2022 09:35

"Fantastic course and great way of communicating the tricky concepts via group exercises. In-person session also helps. However, the digital courses would be equally engaging and fruitful. Thanks to the useful training, I cleared the PSPO-1 exam with 98,8%." - 27-03-2022 04:55

"This is the second time I had a training from Matthijs, the first was in December 2016 and it was such an inspiring and helpful training that I still remember today. This training was no different. It is a pleasant, interactive training in which Matthijs constantly uses visual representations to make it easy to understand and follow. This time it was given remotely, but it was no less interactive. Besides the theory required for the product owner assessment, Matthijs also explained a lot about being a product owner in practice, product management, and useful tools that we can apply there. I have never encountered a better trainer." - 21-01-2021 12:50

"Awesome PSPO Training!
Our goal in this Training was to understand how to maximizing value with Scrum.
On this journey we discovered
how important trust in self-organization is,
that quality is key to long term success,
that in complex work you can not copy and past practices and assume you are magically successful in product development
and that empiricism should always guide your decision making.
Along the way, we had lots of great conversations.
Why agility is important?
Should the Product Owner be technical?
What are good characteristics of a Product Backlog?

Matthijs is a fantastic trainer who helped us archive this goal! With his knowledge and experience in Scrum, he inspired us to uncover new ways of working.
I would not only recommend the training to Product Owner but also to Scrum Masters who are seeking for ways to help and support their Product Owners in maximizing value." - 29-05-2020 06:22

"The Professional Scrum Prodcut Onwer training was inspiring and hands on. Matthijs de Booij knows how to keep the attention of all group members by combining theory and practice. Recommended! " - 23-12-2019 12:44

"I recently had a product owner training with Matthijs. I could say that it was really positive, better than i thought it would be.

We started the training with a small game that focuses you on what is going to be the training. All the explanations were very clear and he answered all our questions with real examples, giving you the clarity you need in this kind of training.

With all his explanations, tips & tricks, i managed to pass the exam and get my certification.

Thanks Matthijs!" - 23-10-2019 09:20

"It is rare to find a trainer that is as passionate about his mission as Matthijs and as gifted for being able to teach people.

He cleverly embeds the Agile framework within his training, making the chapters = product roadmap, the topics = backlog and constantly going through a learning loop and revising it throughout the delivery. You don't only learn Scrum, you actually see it happening in front of you.

And get this - almost 0 slides. He instead draws all the artefacts he uses to teach on flipchart paper. It's amazing how much easier to focus everything becomes when it's a drawing exercise, rather than a boring slide.

Whenever you're not going to be analysing things through his drawings or learning from his real-life examples, you are actually going to spend a lot of time in DYI exercises like: Lean Canvas & Story Mapping.

At the end of the training, you feel like the past 2 days perfectly balanced the SCRUM PSPO content with the real-life situations that you might encounter. Brilliantly designed and delivered. And since he uses Agile day-to-day, I expect this training to actually get better by the time you(hello, person reading this) take it. " - 16-10-2019 15:13
