The Professional Scrum ProductâŠ
The Professional Scrum Product OwnerSHIP class was great. I have been using Scrum for a long time, but this class is a good refreshed and you still learn a lot of new things, some tips, where to improve, etc.
Steven, our coach, was very clear while explaining things, made us participate so we were more focused and engaged, and was also very direct when answering all our questions, which for me was awesome, no sugar-coating ;-)
Sep 2, 2023
concrete, tailored examples
Steven knows how to give concrete (tailored) examples from his vast experience whenever required, I think this mainly put me on the edge of my seat for 2 full days. I just wanted to keep absorbing the vast knowledge that was thrown at me.
With tailored I mean that some of my classmates had a learning goal to see how to implement Scrum outside of a SW development environment and Steven threw in quite some examples about a mechanical system development.
At the end of the first day we were behind schedule but no problem for Steven, he managed all topics without ever rushing or skipping important data.

Great class
Steven proposes a masterclass on the pure essentials and insights of the Scrum framework. A sweet mix of anecdotes, practical exercises and theory. We don't lose time (like in Scrum) and maximize the value of it, what else?
Jul 5, 2023
Inspiring and very useful to understand the Scrum framework
I highly recommend Steven as an Agile Scrum trainer. I attended his two-day training as a Scrum Product Owner, and I was inspired by his mastery of Agile principles and practices. His dynamic teaching style and concrete examples made it easy for me to grasp the concepts and their applications. Steven creates a stimulating and supportive learning environment that fosters meaningful discussions. His expertise and passion make him an very good coach in Agile Scrum methodology.

I gained in experience and knowledge by assisting this class. What I learned during these two days will allow me to approach my work in another way and to better supervise my tasks without spreading myself too thin.

Talented, knowledgeable and experienced
A very talented, emphatic and experienced Trainer is always good, even more when navigating through 'Advanced' steps of this journey.
Steven was even more than this, sharing his very recent and exhaustive experiences with our PSPO II pupils, and showing true interest in our specific pain-points and adapting continuously, but also (re-)focusing us on the most important aspects for the future, being SUPER agile.

Recommendation for (future) agile Leaders
Steven was able to break down complex issues to be easily understood. With outside of IT examples given, both IT-, as well as non-IT-background students can participate and understand the agile ownership of the role.
I would visit the course again, as it revealed many opportunities for change and improvement with me as well as my role and my company.
-1 Star for only 1 non IT reference, as I am not in IT and its sometimes hard to follow.

Great training
Insights were made easy to digest with a very nice graphic style and open discussions. We were challenged to think and Steven also took his time to explain and re-explain things when needed. There was enough room to share experiences so that we also could learn from each other

Apr 25, 2022
A great way to start learning about Scrum!
Many resources about Scrum just focus on the mechanics and leave aside the most important: the why behind those mechanics. Understanding the principles behind the foundations of Scrum are absolutely key to a successful implementation of Scrum. This course gives those principles the space they deserve. It presents the values that foster an environment based on trust, which in turn enables an effective application of empiricism.
Steven brings with him his cheerfulness and enthusiasm, and creates a relaxed atmosphere that makes the course a joy to attend. He taps into his great experience to illustrate the topic with insightful anecdotes. The four days passed very fast!

excellent training!
Oct 18, 2021
Great interactive course PSM1
The course will guide you, interactively, to gain insights on how you can apply Professional Scrum in your organization.
It starts off with reading the Scrum Guide, before the course even starts. This is a must in order to gain more out of your 2 days. When on site, you start to get to know the other colleges. and the course is applied using some theory, but with exercises, role playing and other techniques in order to attract your attention. Not being there mentally is just not an option.
You get the possibility to question the theory and because of the interactive nature of the sessions, you also gain knowledge from the others.
Another thing is that you can put your "Ah-ha" moments on post-its on the wall. So sharing is caring and can inspire others as well.

This Professional Agile Leadership is an eyeopener.
This Professional Agile Leadership class suited as well managers with some Scrum history as it was an eye opener for people new to the matter. The course was very interactive (no slides used) and encouraging all participants to speak up. Steven left room for discussion, but staying firm when it comes to Agile values. Certainly a worthwhile first step to move to a more agile organisation, clarifying the differences between traditional planning and hierarchical approach and Agile Management.
Apr 1, 2021
Learning by doing
Personally, I prefer classes in this format. I studied the theory in advance (as requested) to allow myself to keep my "brainspace" to focus on the practical exercises. This way I was less bothered with absorbing concepts and definitions and I could focus on the things you cannot learn from a paper: doing.
Although I will not be able to use it thoroughly in my current job, I do believe there are elements that can make our day to day practice better.

About Steven
Well, not really my Bio, but the tool does not allow me to change this title... đ
đđŒ First a question: Are you serious about wanting to deeply understand Scrum and how to make optimal use of it? I mean, really dead serious about wanting to use the Scrum framework in a professional way so it makes a difference, a real impact, to your team and clients?
Yes? Great! đ
Then I am truly interested in supporting you with reaching your goals. With BYS I am By Your Side to Boost Your Scrum.
Maybe you want to boost your career with a professional Scrum certificate. Maybe you want to lead your team reaching their goals using better ways. Maybe you are looking to raise your skills in specific areas of the Scrum framework. Maybe you...
Lesson 1: Scrum cuts both ways. You can use it in a mechanical way, you can use it in a professional way...
Make your team more effective!
The commonality amongst my students is that they all want to bring the most out of their team; make it most effective.
If youâve ever said, âthereâs got to be more to agile for my team than thisâ, then professional Scrum is exactly what you need.
A professional use of Scrum is bringing a mindset of continuous learning and improving. Many times, the insights we share during our courses changes people's whole perspective on Scrum and agile ways of working.
"The training was an eye opener for me." K.V.
"Fascinating course with a plethora of inspiring approaches and insights into challenges you might be facing." B.D.B.
Lesson 2: Scrum installs an improvement mindset to increase quality and effectiveness...
A highly interactive workshop...
Enrolling in one of our courses will be unlike any other. Not a traditional course you are used to. Absolutely! I believe that the best learning takes place by doing, reflecting and sharing.
Weâve created an exercise-first based, highly interactive workshop. A little content, a lot of sharing, discussing, writing, drawing, collaborating.
"Very interactive training! Steven knows how to challenge and lead trainees on the Scrum knowledge road!" - C.N.
"the course is applied using some theory, but with exercises, role playing and other techniques" K.R.
So whether you are new to Scrum, or a seasoned practitioner, you will deepen your understanding about using Scrum so that you can make a difference.
Lesson 3: learning is most powerful through experience...
More value: Join our Boost Your Scrum community
After our classes, the learning never stops.
You will be invited to join our private Boost Your Scrum community - free of charge. Together with your classmates you can continue to exchange experiences and ask your questions. And you'll not be alone. You will join a community of people who followed other classes and other modules. Everybody with their own experiences to share, and to help you find the answers to your challenges at that moment.
And of course, as your trainer, I am there to support you in your further learning journey. Not for a day, or a week, yet at least for the coming two years! So you can keep asking your questions and I'll gladly help.
"real live examples and in-depth knowledge about all things concerning Agile, Scrum, etc." L.D.
Lesson 4: the learning does not stop after one class...
Me, your trainer
I live to energise, encourage and inspire individuals and teams so they successfully overcome the challenges on their path, making them more complete humans.
Facilitating Scrum training allows me to do just that.
Further down this page you can see
- the different courses I teach. I do facilitate these both public as well as in-company
- what a number of my students say about my courses
- my upcoming scheduled classes. Nothing that fits your agenda? No worries, take contact and we'll see what we can do about that.
- the blog posts I wrote about the professional use of the Scrum framework.
Now that you read this far, to me this shows your genuine interest.
Here are five freebees for you:
- An ebook about Blindspots in Leadership, their impact, and how to start dealing with these. Download it here.
- An ebook how information radiators help your teams' self-management capabilities. Download it here.
- Get the Professional Scrum Foundations series, getting back to the core concepts of the Scrum framework, weekly in your mailbox, never miss one by enrolling to this mail series.
- Thinking of transitioning from a project manager role to a Scrum Master role? Then your skills, if well used, are valuable to your future Scrum Teams. Find out more in this mail series.
- My blog posts here on Scrum.org: read them all! ;) This would be a great one to start with: Overview of the core concepts of Scrum and how they link to the accountabilites, events, and artifacts.
"It starts off with reading the Scrum Guide, before the course even starts." K.R.
Lesson 5: reading BEFORE you join a course will give you more value DURING your class...
How can I help you?
This is by far the most important question!
Often a (video)call does help to clarify your needs and help to focus your learning.
Book your free discovery call and let's find out together what would be most beneficial to your learning.
Book your seat for a public class, or contact me for an in-company session.
Have further questions on how to improve your profession? Then please contact me.
"Lots of room for questions." PJ.D.B.

Steven has a very gentle and effective way in bringing the message on to the participants.
The course was highly interactive even though it was online.
Nice job Steven!

Great preparation for the exam. Steven gave feedback on all examples we came up with, and helped us see the advantages of scrum by thinking ourselves. Would recommend!
