Very good course!

Good content, Samir clearly has a mastery of the course.

Very informative and

Excellent course! I learned a ton of incredibly applicable information. Samir was very engaging and a great teacher.

I think the course should have a certification exam. I have worked with many POs. They were useless. I think that some of the basics of Scrum were lost on many of the attendees as there weren’t any prerequisites. I think the CSM course should be a prerequisite for this course to help POs to develop some competence. This course content was a little telecom heavy with this instructor. The instructor knew his stuff and was experienced, but didn’t understand the basics of good adult learning. He talked way too much and the course was a little dull.

Excellent class and instructor.

I recently attended the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) training facilitated by Samir Chhibber. The overall experience was excellent, and I truly appreciated the depth of knowledge and professionalism brought into the sessions.

Samir is very knowledgeable on the subject and provides real-world, real-life examples, not just happy path theories. The course is engaging, with lots of practice time to cement and check your understanding of what is being taught. He explains the why clearly, so that it is clearly understood why we do the things we do in Agile. I had taken agile training several times, and Samir's class closed a lot of gaps in knowledge that I had had until his training.

My first Scrum Certification.
