Certified Scrum Product Owner®

Joel is a great teacher! He goes into a deep dive with being a Scrum Product Owner and the process of going through each Sprint. He gave real life examples and even shows off his acting skills. I'd recommend his course to anyone looking for a teacher that explains concepts in a simple way and has a wonderful sense of humor. He truly is making the world a better place as he stated he wanted to do. Enjoy!

Joel had excellent examples that really pulled the information together as a package rather than individual teachings that were difficult to put together. The class was fun along with the seriousness of learning.

Joel does an amazing job of engaging their students and creating interactive learning modules. I highly recommend Joel and will most likely be taking another class from them.

The class was very interactive, and the instructor provided short breaks every hour, which helped keep everyone engaged and focused. I did not feel exhausted at any point. The concepts were explained in a simple and easy-to-understand manner, making the learning experience enjoyable and effective,

Joel did a great job, included some acting, different product "characters", actual product work, a fictional product to develop, hands-on activities, and great review periods.

Joe is an exceptionally knowledgeable instructor with extensive experience as a Product Owner. The course content is thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the students, making it both relevant and practical. The sessions are informative, interactive, and engaging, and the smaller cohort size makes it much easier to participate in meaningful discussions with classmates. Unlike many courses that place students into large groups where individualized feedback is limited, Joe took the time to address every question I had throughout the four-day course. His use of effective teaching tools, interactive activities, and real-world examples helped bring the material to life. What stood out most was Joe’s genuine enthusiasm and commitment to delivering high-quality content and ensuring his students succeed. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to expand their skills and advance their career opportunities. If you're ready to invest in your professional growth, you can't go wrong with Joe.

Joel did an incredible job teaching this class and was enthusiastic and informative. Would recommend to any aspiring PO!

I recently completed the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) class with Joel (the Gorilla Coach), and I can't recommend it enough. Joel's deep knowledge of Agile, real-world examples, and anecdotes make for a great complement to his strong facilitation skills. This was a highly interactive class built in purposeful breaks. Every exercise was structured so that participants worked together, which created a collaborative learning environment. The case studies gave us practical tools we could immediately use in our roles as product owners. Because I took this class in the evening, I was able to apply the at work the following day. I even found myself a little sad to see class end. I would take another class from Joel again. Thank you, Joel, for your expert instruction, thoughtful course design, and for being a facilitator who truly delivers on what he promises.

Joel was clear in being able to explain concepts. He was engaging and able to swiftly manage his tools to make the lessons interesting and not just be him talking for hours.
