Testimonials:

The instructor's enthusiasm, knowledge of the subject matter, and ability to convey and communicate the nuances of the role were outstanding. – Michael Hills
The practical application is essential to my learning style, the information flow was optimal for absorption and retention. I’ll be rethinking, in an accessible way, the way I’ve worked and will refocus my job search on PO rolls. – Kathryn Brenny
The instructor was very knowledgeable and humorous. I really liked the learning techniques for ordering. As someone new to Scrum, I'll have a framework to draw from. I'm looking forward to refining the backlog in a potential new role. – Kristine Mitchell

This course was engaging, enjoyable, and informative. Mike was an adept instructor able to provide real-world examples. I would recommend!

Mike did a great job integrating real world examples with the course material. Was an enjoyable class.

Mike was an awesome instructor can't wait to take another course.

Had a great experience, really helped us understand what it means to be a product owner

Excellent and effective training. Even though the event I attended was virtual, Michael did a great job keeping us all engaged and learning. It was a valuable course and well taught.

Mike's training was engaging and valuable, used real life examples to ensure we have a good understanding of the concepts presented and are able to use the tools in our environment.

Overall this course was good, but having attended a scrum overview course prior the early material felt repetitive. Mike is a great teacher and always available for questions or further insight.

I really enjoyed the course and instructor. Michael makes it interesting to learn and brings real examples into the learnings, which helps me. He also makes the class a safe space to ask questions related to the learnings.

Excellent course, Mike was very knowledgeable and engaging with a great sense of humour! Ahmed
