Clear cut, easily explained scrum in a nutshell. Great lecture by Rob.
Gregory Crown led our class for Professional Scrum Master I Certification.It was jam packed with useful information. He presented the information well, used story telling and lead learning out to make the material relevant and memorable. The group exercises were helpful to create conversation and to showcase common flaws and useful insights when using the Scrum Framework.His advice in how to study paid off, and I was able to pass certification the same weekend with confidence.Thanks Responsive Advisors!
Greg was very friendly and funny. He used a lot of super helpful and practical examples. Showed the value of Scrum by demonstrating servant leadership.
Took the Scrum course. Was a very professional, informative and interactive course. Highly recommended for those looking to learn about Scrum.
Took the PSPO I, 2-day training course taught by Robb (the owner) in Sept 2021. One of the best classes I have ever taken. Super professional in all ways, from the video and audio quality to the material covered. Lots of very interesting real world examples and applications. The course moves fast and it was never dull.Oh and I ended up needing to move the date of the course I signed up for. Emailed the company and received replies back to all my needs and questions in no time. So, was very impressed before I even started the class itself.Studied the recommended materials, a Scrum book (The Professional Product Owner), and took this training course, and passed my PSPO I with a 97.5%. The training class definitely helped me, lots of tips and tricks for the test. But learned SO much more than just the right answers to the test. What I learned will for sure help me in my career.
I took the Professional Scrum Master training Feb 11-12, 2021. The course was organized and run extremely well by Greg Crown, eliciting participation and thinking from all attendees to facilitate learning. The course covered all the information that is needed to take the PSM exam, but more importantly, provided a strong understanding of how to really be a scrum master. One of the simulations of a case study was exceptional, driving home the learning in a way I will always remember. Beyond the course, the company was very friendly and easy to work with, responding quickly to emails, and overall highly professional.
Robb has been great at explaining the Product Owner role using real-world example, so I could apply improvements to my Scrum practice right away.
Had an excellent experience with Responsive Advisors. After taking the course and rigorous training sessions, I successfully passed the exam on the first attempt. Jeff Maleski was an excellent instructor, who clearly understands the material and has a passion for what hes practicing and teaching.
Fantastic class. A real eye-opener! Very well taught. I especially appreciate the scenarios and situations we were given, they were quite enlightening.
Excellent course, very well structured and informational. i am new to Scrum and had taken previous online courses. i benefited allot from the in-person (albeit virtual), particularly the team break-out sessions and examples of practical application
I took the 2 Day PSPO Training and found it very helpful. I learned a lot. The instructor kept us all engaged with his fun and professional demeanor. I highly recommend. Thanks!
This training was fantastic. There was a very healthy balance of interactive discussions and activities, traditional lecture, personal stories, question/answer, and fun. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and personal. The visuals and the slide decks supported the discussion and interaction, rather than the other way around. I learned a lot!
Because of COVID, I took the course virtually rather than in person. The sessions are 8 hours each. We did get breaks etc., but its a very long day of sitting. Be prepared. I recommend you dont try to work in 4 hours of your regular job before going to this course. The course moved at a good pace, lots of good interaction. I was disappointed to find that there were some things we did not cover in class and they were not in the SCRUM guide or in the slide deck. It was disturbing to hit questions in the assessment with new terms. I think that maybe this course is geared towards software developers and not a non-technical person who is learning to become a product owner. IF there was a pre-req for this course - it would have been better if I had been blocked from the course until I met whatever the pre-reqs were/are. In summary, good course, helpful, but frustrated that the course was not more friendly to relatively new product owners who do not do software development.
My Scrum training experience with Robert Pieper of Responsive Advisors was excellent!! His expert instruction was informative, well presented, and integral to passing the PSM Assessment. Robb kept the discussion lively and entertaining while presenting the foundational scrum curriculum. I would definitely recommend taking your scrum courses from Responsive Advisors!
I was in their Professional Scrum Master Level I class with Jordan, and it was fantastic! He kept us all engaged, motivated, and having fun throughout the two days we were in the class.Jordan kept everything flowing smoothly and was a complete professional throughout the course. He provided great feedback and was able to draw from his own experience working as a developer to help us relate Scrum to how my team works.If I continue down the path of becoming professionally certified in Scrum, I will not hesitate to work with Responsive Advisors again. Thank you for the great class!
I did a two day Scrum Master course with Jeff and couldnt be happier with the knowledge I walked away with. Jeffs experience and knowledge allow him to be extremely insightful, particularly in how to bring meaning to and extract value from the day to day parts of scrum that can become monotonous. Im very much looking forward to taking more classes from them in in the future.
The instructor was extremely familiar with the materials and subject matter. He gave everyone a safe place to air concerns and questions and share their experiences and examples of work. I particularly enjoyed the team exercises - which I must admit I wasnt looking forward to when initially signing up. They were relevant, informative, and illustrative of what was trying to be conveyed. I would definitely recommend this course (PSPO) to anyone interested.
Responsive Advisors are very professional and provide great quality training. It has been one of my best experiences so far.
I would recommend this Professional Scrum Master course to anyone. Robert Pieper is a very capable instructor who is able to simplify Scrum theory by blending course content with personal work experience. His teaching style is collaborative and visual. You can tell he is passionate about the framework and is more than willing to answer every question his students have. Not to mention, he still held our class despite Chicagos 2019 polar vortex, with record low temps, those same days. Take the course, you wont regret it!
Jordan knows this stuff cold, and more importantly understands and conveys the underlying motivations behind Scrum. Exercises were relevant and instructive. An excellent training course and trainer.
Responsive Advisors did an excellent job with the facilitation of their PSPO two day class. There was a lot of great discussion with other product owners talking about real world problems and how to solve them, how to forecast agile delivery, and how do drive change especially when your organization hasn’t gone through an agile transformation. Robb kept the conversations engaging and the material was easy to understand. I came away with several strategies that I wanted to implement right away. I enjoyed this class so much I sent my employee (also a product owner). Thank you!
I attended the PSPO I course in Seattle and it was a great experience. Ive passed my exam successfully. Would definitely recommend.
Took the Scrum Foundations course with Jordan Job as instructor. He kept the class engaging, doing a great job presenting the material and handling questions. The class exercises were a very good experience for teaching how scrum works and why it works. Highly recommend the class and instructor!
Wonderful class. In depth, hands on and taught by a very motivated and knowledgeable instructor. Can’t wait to engage more specialized training.
Responsive Advisors ROCKS! The SCRUM Master 2-day training was a wonderful experience; it was very interactive and there was never a dull moment. I feel prepared and confident to take the PSM I assessment.
I took the PSM I Certification course, facilitated by Jordan Job. The content closely aligned with the Scrum Guide and Jordan ensured that all learners were engaged and interacting. The course definitely prepared me for the certification which I passed on the first attempt one week after taking the course.
Robb Pieper provided a great experience in preparing for the Professional Scrum Master assessment. The course was very informative and engaging all while Robb kept things lively and entertaining. I guess I was prepared because, 2 days later, I passed the assessment with a high score. I would highly recommend this course for those wishing to learn Scrum in real-world situations and preparing for the PSM certification assessment.
Excellent class taught by Rob. I enjoyed the small group environment and attention to everyones individual questions.
Took the PSM course with Jordan Job from Responsive Advisors and it was a great learning experience. Jordan is an excellent teacher, ensuring everyones development.
I recently took the PSPO class with Robb as instructor. He kept the class engaging and did a great job of covering the material. I learned a lot and have been able to start applying what I learned at work. I would recommend this class and Robb to anyone interested being a product owner.
I took the Professional Scrum Master course with Robert Pieper. It was a small enough class to interact directly with the instructor but large enough to still have meaningful small-group discussions. I passed my certification exam with flying colors after the two-day PSM course. I would recommend Robert Pieper and Responsive Advisors to anyone looking to learn more about Scrum.
I attended the 2-day PSM-I course conducted by Jordan. The course was thorough, and Jordans experience with the software industry helped in providing relevant examples and guidance for specific situations.
