No Death By PowerPoint! - Learn Scrum By Doing Scrum

Not all Certified Scrum Product Owner courses are created equal. With Agile Learning Labs, you will participate in project simulations and game-based learning exercises, so you can learn by doing.

Chris Sims has played most roles on a scrum team at various times, including product owner. They also have a technical background, so they can help bridge the gap for students who may not be fluent in geek-speak.

Agile Learning Labs is famous for its unique style of teaching through innovative games and simulations--in fact, the entire class is run using the tools and techniques you'll be studying, so you'll have completed an actual scrum project by the time you graduate. You'll also come away with a list of "Aha!" moments as long as your arm, all of which will be things you discovered yourself, while actually doing scrum.

Every student takes home a copy of Chris' book, The Elements of Scrum, which is used as a textbook in colleges and by other scrum trainers. You can read the first chapter, A Week In The Life of a Scrum Team online, or check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.

Testimonials From Past Participants:

"You hit all the marks in terms of the environment you set up, the level of student participation, the relevance of the material, the practicality, and the sheer enjoyment of learning. I hope we meet again in a training or workshop soon."

“The teaching style is interactive, which facilitates the learning process. Never a dull moment!”

“This CSPO workshop takes the essence of Scrum and makes it easy to understand for a new product owner.”

“I strongly recommend this class for these three reasons:

Industry experience of the instructors.
Answering questions by bringing real stories as examples.
Structure and amazing preparedness.

This class is top notch.”

Prior to this course, I would have said my org. was a strong practitioner of Agile Scrum principles. I now have the tools and knowledge required to actually implement faster innovation, around efficient, data driven assessment of product and project time investments. Chris delivers this course in an engaging manner, while drawing expertly from decades of practical experience and wisdom. Day three is a game changer, filled with light bulb moments and opportunities to evaluate real world, present challenges; in the context, and with the priceless benefit, of Chris' deep framework knowledge. Sincerely one of the best courses I've attended in my 20 year product management, SaaS service delivery and consulting career.

Chris is an excellent educator and taught an engaging, interactive, and valuable course. I appreciated his weaving Scrum into the how the class was taught and found the small-group, interactive activities very useful. I would highly recommend this class and Agile Learning Labs for Agile/Scrum resources and certifications.

Excellent Instructor, practical exercises, lots of collaboration

The most engaging online instruction I've experienced. Through the format and teaching style, the content was made interesting, concrete, and fun. I highly recommend!

It was excellent — the practical cases really encouraged reflection and helped consolidate what I learned.

Chris did a great job! He moved through the material fluidly, giving us plenty of time for exercises, breaks, conversation and questions. I took plenty of notes and am considering his follow up advanced CSPO course. Worth it!

4 hours in 4 sessions almost felt like nothing with Chris' engaging teaching style. I thoroughly enjoyed myself across all sessions, and strongly recommend this course to any one who wants to understand more about scrum, whether you have many years of experience or none at all.

Chris is knowledgeable and energetic.

I think Chris did an outstanding job facilitating this class and I valued his expert hands on knowledge on the topic.
