Great course
Clear explanation with sufficient examples and various exercises that provided guidance on how to use the exercises and how they could be plotted on the various discussion boards to explain the purpose of scrum.
Long days didn't feel like that at all.

Very interactive sessions!
Very interactive sessions and clear examples. Great to run exercises of 'liberating structures' that could be used by participants in their own scrum teams.

Most engaging training I had in a long time
Barry delivered the training in a engaging way. It was very refreshing to have a training WITHOUT any powerpoint slides.

Scrum & Liberating Structures go together like PB&J
Barry and Christian have been wonderful hosts. From the energy, to the content and even the logistics, everything was spot on.
Watching the liberating structures come together throughout the session has been really inspiring, and I cannot wait to put them to practice with the teams.
I have enjoyed every second, and I highly recommend it to all the Scrum Masters.

Great interactive training!
The training given by Barry and Chris was amazing. The program was filled with interactive topics, based on formats from liberating structures, which is a great added bonus on the interactivity and translation to daily practice. The trainers are knowledgeable and put together a great training.

It was a very interesting and activity based session from Barry. It was a powerpoint free session and so it was very interesting and thought provoking session. I can highly recommend for the people who are interested in Scrum and Servant Leadership.

Great experience
Barry is the best trainer I have ever met!!
The training is full of valuable information but the way he managed to connect with the trainees id the most important. He exceeds my expectations and what I found it extraordinary is the psychological safety he inspires to you so you can freely express your ideas and enjoy the others experience. Then, like the cherry on the top of the cake, Barry comes and furbishes what we've already learned from each others having him guiding us all the time:D
It was the best experience EVER!

Awesome class, Awesome trainer
Great trainer. Very energetic, easy adaptable and full of knowledge . A gem for our line of business, i would say.
Everything was very well prepared, the physical material was very nice and explicit. One of the best live classes i had.

Excellent to bring together pieces of a long-running puzzle
The PSM II class with Barry Overeem was excellent. There was a lot of learning through well-designed exercises coupled with necessary and not overbearing extra explanations from the trainer. I also loved the pace of the training, the attention to time boxing, the attention to our energy and understanding.
I also loved that all the exercises we did are reproducible inside our teams and organizations.
The class invites to reflection, honesty and critical self-assessment.

Barry is a wonderful trainer who really knows how to handle group dynamics. During the two days that the course lasted I never felt like I needed a break or that I was getting bored with the content.
I feel like I have come out of this training with several new ideas that I would like to implement with my teams and a new desire to experiment and grow.
The contents of the training seem obvious, but the way they are presented and discussed helped me understand the underlying concepts much better and make connections between them that I hadn't really thought of before.
Dec 1, 2022
Really great class!
Really great class, very interactive and very informative. Barry is a great coach and teacher.
Nov 4, 2022
New insights and creative thinking
Barry is a good trainer in my opinion.
He does what he says, this course is not about the facts and details of scrum: This course is more about the purpose of Scrum and the importance of the roles PO, SM and developper. The stakeholders and management, what is the relation with the scrum team and why is this relation so important.
Oct 4, 2022
Started like a Scrum Master, left like a Zombie ;)
The training Barry Overeem gave was really good and insightful. I liked the way the training was built up with posters, all the practical assignments and also the material we got to organise the workshops with our own teams. Even though I have quite some years of working experience with Scrum I learned a lot from this training. Luckily we received the cure for Zombie Scrum after completing the training :).

Amazing days with refreshing our Agile Scrum mindset
We had a two-day in company Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) training given by Barry. It were amazing days with refreshing our Agile Scrum mindset and a lot of new insights and a toolbox full to facilitate amazing workshops with our colleagues. And I also really appreciated the dry sense of humour of Barry.
Can't wait to see what positive impact we can have with what we have learnt these two days.
Sep 16, 2022
Fun, Full, inFormative and Fast
Very inspiring and active days with a huge amount of new tools and insights. Pace was just a bit too high for me to let the (new) information sink in better.

Not just simple listening, but actual activities that make you think about the framework and how you are operating in it.
Also, no judging or whatever. Everyone is there to learn, so the environment was very nice, safe and open to any input people had.
Great experience overall!

Very interactive class
Very interactive class, where Barry and Christiaan share their comprehensive
knowledge and broad experience. For me I wanted to gain a better understanding of the scrum mater role and after this course I summarize it as follows: "A good scrum master knows how to walk the fine line between serving the team and leading the team".
Jun 28, 2021
Christiaan and Barry did a great job!
Christiaan and Barry did a great job at designing and delivering this training. Love how we worked a lot with Liberating Structures and that (almost?) every one of those exercises can be done with a scrum team. A wealth of knowledge and practical application thereof.
Jun 25, 2021

Barry and Christiaan made this training an tangible and extremely worthwhile learning experience. I took a lot out of it, not just content-wise but also in how a brilliant training can be structured. Thank you for all the good memories and Aha! moments.
Jan 27, 2020
Training was amazing, but assessment sucks!
Training was amazing. I wish I could tell the same about PSMII assessment, but it was confusing, frustrating and make me angry, as big part of questions have nothing to do with topic and don't giving any hints in advance (budgeting questions, scaling questions, etc.).
If you want to test me on Scrum - go ahead. If you want to test me on practical implementation of theories in reality - your questions vague and suggest that for all organizations answer should be the same.

A golden combination
The combination of Daniel Vacanti and The Liberators is golden. They give a great mix of theory and exercises. This class is a must for everyone working in a scrum environment.

The Class was excellent!
The Class was excellent!
Barry and Chris master the framework and are able to add experience and the Liberating Structures to the content. The result are two very interactive days that are filled with theory and practical exercizes.
And because the ‘students’ were very eager to learn and share, the Class got even more immersion.
The location in the Volkshotel in Amsterdam was very okay as well, with a good vibe and also good vegetarian lunch and sustainable snacks.
I got a lot new (and forgotten...) insights and take-aways.
Very well done and thank you very much.

Barry and Christ facilitate this 2-days class really well. They added lots of fun games to small groups, and motivate us to have lots of reflection together after each game to think about how to put into use in the workplace. You will NEVER be bored with a professional group. Highly recommended.

Practical Scrum by the book
Scrum by the book, yet entirely practical. The Scrum.org training takes participants on a journey through the real value of Scrum and Agile. The trainers provide profound insights and plenty of practical experience. Without resorting to theoretical ideology and dogma, they illustrate vividly the traps of zombie Scrum and ineffective pseudo-Agile thinking.

Great energy and fun. Nice new insights and always good to have conversations with other people and share views, perspectives, best practices and experiences.
This training provided a lot of opportunities to combine everything and learn (how) to improve.

Barry and Christ facilitate this 2-days class really well. They added lots of fun games to small groups, and motivate us to have lots of reflection together after each game to think about how to put into use in the workplace. You will NEVER be bored with a professional group. Highly recommended.

Practical Scrum by the book
Scrum by the book, yet entirely practical. The Scrum.org training takes participants on a journey through the real value of Scrum and Agile. The trainers provide profound insights and plenty of practical experience. Without resorting to theoretical ideology and dogma, they illustrate vividly the traps of zombie Scrum and ineffective pseudo-Agile thinking.
