Great course!
Great course! The content was well set out in terms of setting the stage with refreshing Scrum, then showing how Kanban can super change this framework. The team games were very informative, and how the results of these games was brought back into the teaching to hammer home the how and the why of Kanban was great.

Alex was great!
I really enjoyed my two days of training with Alex from b-agile. He was very knowledgeable and engaging, and was very generous in sharing his knowledge and responding to questions.
I like that the training went beyond just preparing us for the PSPO-I exam, but really emphasised the true value of Scrum and the role of the Product Owner.

Excellent Introduction to Scrum for Product Owners
Alex is a fantastic teacher and mentor. His message is powerful, backed by years of real-world experience that allows him to relate real scenarios to the subject matter. He is engaging, entertaining, and has created a fantastic collaborative course. He provided plenty of insights, tools, and techniques that you can take away to apply in your role, while also giving you the foundations to pass the assessment. I would highly recommend both Alex and B-Agile. Off to Maximise Value

From Scrum Techniques Theory to Practice
Alex is a great teacher who combines real-world examples with teaching Scrum concepts. He pays great attention to detail and patiently explains all our questions. We practiced Scrum in a small project, allowing us to utilize the methods and practices learned from the course. The agenda was well-structured, encouraging collaboration and making the learning journey enjoyable. The course was both challenging and fun. I highly recommend Alex’s course to anyone who wants a thorough understanding of how Scrum should be used in any project.

All in all a great experince.
Alex was really great at making the course interactive. He had the ability to understand the trouble of being a PO with or without experience. He had many very good real-life experiences which made it easier to compare the theory of Scrum to work-life.

A valuable online experience for any (aspiring) PO!
Our excellent trainer Alex made the online session feel like an in-person meeting by fostering a collaborative approach, utilizing great tools and connecting with us on a personal level. I could recommend this course for everyone interested in becoming a PO or furthering their knowledge for the role. There were attendees from all over Europe, with many different products using scrum, which made the experience very valuable! I will choose b-agile again myself, and have already recommended it to others.

Great class, with space for improvement
I took the two day class for PSPO Certification. I liked the overall experience in taking part of this class, but there is some space for improvement. The class had a lot of content to explore what Scrum is and how we can use Scrum in our daily life. There were a bunch of examples super useful to apply Scrum in our professions. Nevertheless, I think that for two days of classes on Scrum, there should have been more time for questioning and explore some real daily life problems that students face in their real companies/projects.

A brilliant collaborative course full of interactive exercises that get you thinking about the real life challenges we face as Scrum Masters. Our PST, Alex, made sure everyone had the opportunity for their voice to be heard. He catered for different levels of the class which must have been difficult. A wonderful course which I am hoping has set me up in great stead for the exam itself.

I really enjoyed my 2-day PSPO training with Alex from b-agile.
His teaching style was engaging, showing us the topic, providing examples from his extensive experience, and then coaching us through activities to cement our skills.
Alex was very generous with his time, discussing the concepts with us over lunch in the context of our business.
I've since passed the PSPO I assessment with 95%, 2 days after finishing the course. I'm looking forward to sitting more Scrum.org certs and training with b-agile in the future.

PSPO Course by Alex Brown was brilliant!
Very informative course run by Alex Brown. As a Product Owner for over 3 years I learnt a lot to gain more outreach from my role.
Aug 19, 2022
Overall a very informative course with some minor improvement potentials
After the first half of the day, I was quite disappointed, to be honest. The content was exactly the same as what I've learned at university and not really about the actual Scrum framework and about the PO itself. Fortunately, this was probably to give some sort of introduction to product management to other team members since we were all having completely different professional backgrounds. I think the second day was most helpful and really gave me new insights, which I appreciate.
What I think definitely needs to improve is the microphone setup. Sometimes one could hear the voice echoing in the room especially when a speaker is leaning back and forth and not speaking directly to the mic. This can be challenging for those who come to the course with a second or third language. I think a headset with a mic right in front of the mouth should do the trick or just any professional microphone with echo cancellation and noise reduction.

More than I extected from the PSPO training
Attending to the training gave me far more than I expected. Alex presents high training and coaching skills as well as a deep understanding of Scrum. He is able to share his knowledge in an understandable way with patience a respect to different opinions and mindset. Participating in a training session with Alex gave me a better insight into the role of PO, thus allowing me to pass PSPO exam smoothly at my first attempt.

I really enjoyed the PSPO Course held by Alex and Chris @ b-agile. A very interactive course via Zoom with lots of interesting discussions about both Scrum/PO topics but also connecting to our current organisation sitatuation. Alex and Chris has great chemistry which makes the course fun and the time to just fly by (in a good sense).

Was prepared to look like a fool
Was prepared to look like a fool, didn't need to. Alex, the teacher, explained everything in a way even an unexperienced person such as myself could understand. The course in it self covered all the neccessary aspects of both scrum theory and product ownership. I took an open assesment the morning after and decided to just run through the questions, not thinking to hard on the answers and still got ~90% correct.
Will recommend my organization to attend this class and others
May 10, 2022
I enjoyed the course immensely
I enjoyed the course immensely, the level of information and the way it was pitched by Alex was straight forward and easy to understand therefore a path was formed with which I could apply this in my org. I only wish I had completed a coaching course beforehand so that the learnings could be taken and applied directly however I will now go forward and complete some form of professional training. I found Alex / b-agile to be super responsive and helpful and gauged the groups level of understanding and speed really well. Would recommend this course to 'wanna be' change agents or practicing agile leaders.

Great Course
The course helped me a lot to understand scrum theory and the work of a scrum master. It was demanding, but the coach did really great work in explaining everything in detail. I will definitely take other courses from scrum.org as well!

Booking and setup of course was slick.
Comprehensive course content.
Delivery was well paced.
Group size (9) was good as it allowed discussions and experiences to be shared from people of differing backgrounds.
Objective of course was met as I now know more about agile delivery and the role of a product owner.

Excellent instructor, very informative course.
Provided a solid foundation while also offering a lot of complementary practices and skills. After completing the course, I have a much better understanding of the mindset required to be an effective Product Owner. Excellent instructor, very helpful course.

The best Scrum training I've ever done
Incredible course delivered by Chris and Alex. Was really full on, but the perfect balance taught theory and hands on experience. Came away from the 2 days with so much energy and ideas to make change for the better.

PSK with Alex Brown
Alex demonstrates excellent use of tools, talks about real world experiences that can be be applied and brings a fun approach to the theory side of the course.
Multiple team exercises throughout the day to use what we've learnt and to get instant feedback was the real takeaway.

A very interactive learning class
A very interactive learning class, Alex is a highly skilled trainer. Very well structured content with a lot of provided materials for later study, last but not least we (all participants) had the chance to discuss, share and even learn from eachother’s experience.
Thank you Alex for the inspiration! It was a great experience! Your enthusiasm is contagious!

Great Virtual Scrum Training
Alex was highly knowledgeable and delivered training in clear and concise manner. I had reservations about virtual trainings but it worked well in the group we had. The interactive sessions were a great way to learn from others and understand perspectives from different industries.

A valuable online experience for any (aspiring) PO!
Our excellent trainer Alex made the online session feel like an in-person meeting by fostering a collaborative approach, utilizing great tools and connecting with us on a personal level. I could recommend this course for everyone interested in becoming a PO or furthering their knowledge for the role. There were attendees from all over Europe, with many different products using scrum, which made the experience very valuable! I will choose b-agile again myself, and have already recommended it to others.

Great class, with space for improvement
I took the two day class for PSPO Certification. I liked the overall experience in taking part of this class, but there is some space for improvement. The class had a lot of content to explore what Scrum is and how we can use Scrum in our daily life. There were a bunch of examples super useful to apply Scrum in our professions. Nevertheless, I think that for two days of classes on Scrum, there should have been more time for questioning and explore some real daily life problems that students face in their real companies/projects.

Great learning session based on experience and not focused in paper
Alex provide you more than a learning experience. By introducing you in a collaborative and interactive environment you learning by being in a cycle of agile techniques. It was a great experience and acknowledge of new tools and approaches.
Thank you Alex.

A brilliant collaborative course full of interactive exercises that get you thinking about the real life challenges we face as Scrum Masters. Our PST, Alex, made sure everyone had the opportunity for their voice to be heard. He catered for different levels of the class which must have been difficult. A wonderful course which I am hoping has set me up in great stead for the exam itself.

Chris Bexon - B-Agile - The Scrum Gods
Chris Bexon, wealth of knowledgeable. Coaches in a way everyone can understands. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. Would highly recommend! Took the exam 2 a day after the course and passed!
Please take this course if you intend on taking an of the exams.

Exceptional PSM I Course
Great experience with Chris leading the Scrum Master PSM I course. A lot to take away and adapt into our Scrum implementation.
There were so many misconceptions I had that Chris was able to elaborate on and clear up. He's given me a solid foundation to build on moving forward.
Oct 26, 2022

Excellent on-line PSPO course
Excellent on-line PSPO course with good mix of exercises, teaching, advice from real life experience.
Clear focus on the key principles of SCRUM theory that are already changing my daily work life and proved to be an excellent foundation for the certification assessment.
Thanks Alex.

I really enjoyed my 2-day PSPO training with Alex from b-agile.
His teaching style was engaging, showing us the topic, providing examples from his extensive experience, and then coaching us through activities to cement our skills.
Alex was very generous with his time, discussing the concepts with us over lunch in the context of our business.
I've since passed the PSPO I assessment with 95%, 2 days after finishing the course. I'm looking forward to sitting more Scrum.org certs and training with b-agile in the future.

5/5 Experience
A fantastic 2 days with Alex diving into scrum for the first time for myself. Great class where Alex tried to make it as interactive as possible and invited conversations and discussions. Took time to explain points and get the values of scrum and scrum itself embedded into us. Highly recommend

PSPO Course by Alex Brown was brilliant!
Very informative course run by Alex Brown. As a Product Owner for over 3 years I learnt a lot to gain more outreach from my role.
Aug 19, 2022
Overall a very informative course with some minor improvement potentials
After the first half of the day, I was quite disappointed, to be honest. The content was exactly the same as what I've learned at university and not really about the actual Scrum framework and about the PO itself. Fortunately, this was probably to give some sort of introduction to product management to other team members since we were all having completely different professional backgrounds. I think the second day was most helpful and really gave me new insights, which I appreciate.
What I think definitely needs to improve is the microphone setup. Sometimes one could hear the voice echoing in the room especially when a speaker is leaning back and forth and not speaking directly to the mic. This can be challenging for those who come to the course with a second or third language. I think a headset with a mic right in front of the mouth should do the trick or just any professional microphone with echo cancellation and noise reduction.

Great course
Very explicative

Great two day training
Alex was extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained all of the different points / topics.
Slight rush towards the end as we were running out of time but he managed the situation well.

More than I extected from the PSPO training
Attending to the training gave me far more than I expected. Alex presents high training and coaching skills as well as a deep understanding of Scrum. He is able to share his knowledge in an understandable way with patience a respect to different opinions and mindset. Participating in a training session with Alex gave me a better insight into the role of PO, thus allowing me to pass PSPO exam smoothly at my first attempt.

Excellent course
Alex is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced Scrum trainer, his PSM course was brilliant.

Chris and Alex from b-agile are just amazing! They don’t just teach but they guide and equip you with their vast relatable knowledge and experiences. The Product Owner course was so insightful and even fun (would you believe)! Thank you both so much!

PSPO Course
I really enjoyed the PSPO Course held by Alex and Chris @ b-agile. A very interactive course via Zoom with lots of interesting discussions about both Scrum/PO topics but also connecting to our current organisation sitatuation. Alex and Chris has great chemistry which makes the course fun and the time to just fly by (in a good sense).
May 11, 2022
Was prepared to look like a fool
Was prepared to look like a fool, didn't need to. Alex, the teacher, explained everything in a way even an unexperienced person such as myself could understand. The course in it self covered all the neccessary aspects of both scrum theory and product ownership. I took an open assesment the morning after and decided to just run through the questions, not thinking to hard on the answers and still got ~90% correct.
Will recommend my organization to attend this class and others
May 10, 2022
I enjoyed the course immensely
I enjoyed the course immensely, the level of information and the way it was pitched by Alex was straight forward and easy to understand therefore a path was formed with which I could apply this in my org. I only wish I had completed a coaching course beforehand so that the learnings could be taken and applied directly however I will now go forward and complete some form of professional training. I found Alex / b-agile to be super responsive and helpful and gauged the groups level of understanding and speed really well. Would recommend this course to 'wanna be' change agents or practicing agile leaders.
