Colin was very knowledgeable and kept the course interesting.

Fantastic teaching by Colin, thank you!

This has given me an excellent understanding of the role of a Product Owner. It also helped me to understand a lot of terminology used within the agency/this subject area.

Very worthwhile course

The course is interactive and packed with valuable information on Product Owner role in the Agile Environment. The trainer has vast experience and could answer all our questions, no matter the complexity.

The course led by Colin is well appreciated, he expertise and knowledge made the course engaging and made the learning process enjoyable ad informative.

great fun course. Kept my brain buzzing, great follow on resources as well. thank you

This was a useful course with some great interactive group activities. The instructor was knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions from the group. My only constructive feedback as there were long periods of talking/explaining things (when answering questions in the morning for example) without any visual aids which I personally found quite difficult to follow.

Colin's depth of knowledge from his personal experience was excellent and his real-world examples helped to put the meat on the bones of the course. I think a couple of the sections were word-heavy which for me, as a visual learner, were hard going but overall the mix of talking, slide images and group activities made for a positive learning experience.
