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

Mike did an outstanding job teaching the information and then helping us apply it to reinforce the learning. Great mix of learning styles. Just what I needed!

The course is great and Mike is a fantastic teacher and storyteller. Highly recommend

Great class and instructor!

Mike is amazing instructor that keeps you engaged for the entire course. Learning another side of the scrum team will help further my career

Mike was a good teacher and the activities were helpful in learning the material, which I had zero experience with. I do wonder if doing the activities in bunches rather than going in and out of breakout rooms so frequently would have been better for flow though.

Mike is an exceptional trainer—incredibly knowledgeable and highly skilled. He doesn't just go through the motions; he provides insights that genuinely challenge and improve your abilities & thought process.

Michael Stuedemann did an excellent job ay keeping the class engaged. I particularly liked his real life examples from his own experience.

Mike was great and made the class fun and interesting. I learned a ton about what it takes to be a great PO. Would definitely recommend his class to others.

Very engaging, very informative.
