Professional Scrum Master (PSM) - English

"The course was well structured and accompanied with lots of colourful visuals on flip charts, which for me - as a very visual person - was great!
The order of topics was clear and there was enough diversion to keep focused. (no long "monologues" to listen to).
What I missed a bit were more practical examples to connect the theory with practical situations.
Overall a very pleasant experience and Michel certainly knows what he is doing as a trainer! :)" - 17/04/2023 09:55

"It was a very enjoyable training, intensive for sure, but the different teaching techniques contributed to a good balance that kept the course very interesting over both days. I reckon the most enjoyable part were the actual cases that we took on, these were very useful and helpful as it proved to be an accurate example of how to bring theory into practice very easily." - 20/03/2023 16:49

"Michel was our trainer on BCN Arena for PSM 1 training. He is a very good trainer and the training was perfect. Interactive lessons was good for us and everyone liked it in our class. You can choose Michel for best training" - 13/03/2023 10:13

"I didn't know much about Scrum and I was inexperienced about it. Thanks to Michel's well-prepared and well-structured lesson, he helped me to resolve the ambiguities in my mind. During the lesson, he supported us in participating and made us a part of the lesson. In this way, I think the learning process was much more effective. Thank him for everything." - 12/03/2023 13:56

"Michel was amazing as a trainer for PSM 1. Always kept the session interactive, fun and easy to learn. He uses a lot of flipcharts which makes the course with him very interesting. He always listens to you, try to understand your real time situation and the problem you are facing and how Scrum can help in that context. He also has shared some valuable tips for the assessment of PSM I certification." - 26/02/2023 22:09

"Matthijs managed to help us get to the core and learn the most important points through well thought-through exercises and role-playing, among other activities. This wasn't a standard "classroom" experience. And that I appreciated very much. Being knowledgeable, experienced, respectful, yet fast to grasp you and challenging at times, Matthijs really made this training one of the best learning experiences I've had so far." - 25/12/2022 16:35

"This was my second training with Matthijs and without a doubt it was great. He engages the participants so well and his way of explaining concepts with examples is what I liked the most." - 05/12/2022 10:50

"Matthijs has been an outstanding trainer. Working in an agile environment for the past 2 years, i'd say the whole 2 days were filled with useful information and exercises. I highly recommend Matthijs for your PSM1 and will without a doubt go to him first for any future courses i'd consider." - 05/12/2022 10:42

"Matthijs was an excellent trainer! I was mostly impressed by how he handled the online training environment. A great balance between information and interaction. Highly professional yet also entertaining. I would highly recommend this training!" - 11/10/2022 09:59

"It was a great two days training where I got a lot of knowledge about scrum and scrum master role. The training was interactive. There were case studies that we could practice and experiment in real working environment. Thank you Matthijs for the great training and answering our questions." - 11/06/2022 14:08

"Our company has actively used scrum for just over three years at this point with varying degrees of success. This course surprised me with the level of thought and detail that is used to build up Scrum (and Scrum teams) correctly which will I am extremely excited to try with a new team.

Huge thanks to Matthijs for the excellent coaching, practical tips, and managing to keep a group of curious business professionals not only focused for two days but engaged as well." - 07/06/2022 11:59

"Great and experienced Scrum Trainer. The course was interactive, fun and there was enough room for questions. The stories told were inspirational and a lot of lessons were learned. It was really a pleasure to attend this course!" - 06/06/2022 18:00

"It was a great training course, highly recommended. In 2 days we learned a lot about how to fill the role of a Scrum Master, in a very interactive and enjoyable way. Matthijs is a really good teacher and coach who fully impersonates the scrum values." - 12/02/2022 17:46

"It has been a great experience to recieve the PSM training from Matthijs! We were able to participate in a very small setting, allowing for a very interactive and personal experience.

The set-up of continuous exercises that put yourself in the shoes of a scrum master makes for a very hands-on training. Even though a lot of content was treated during the two days, the pace felt relaxed, and left plenty of room for questions and in-depth discussion!" - 12/02/2022 15:53

"Just finished the professional Scrum Master Training with Matthijs de Booij. And I am really happy about the training. Matthijs is very enthusiastic about Scrum, and this energy fills the classroom and transfer to the students. My biggest recommendations to use Matthijs de Booij for Scrum-training. I will do it again personally if I get the change.

"Hele fijne vorm van een training krijgen. Veel interactie en heel veel praktijkvoorbeelden naast de nodige theorie om de basis goed te kennen. Iets waarmee ik nu zelf aan de slag kan gaan binnen mijn bedrijf om ons stappen verder te helpen met scrum :). Absolute aanrader!" - 18/10/2020 08:01

"Wat was goed?
The PSM training was interactive with a lot of examples how the Scrum Framework can be used in daily work.
Wat kon beter?
The feedback/review form can be also in english." - 12/10/2020 21:09

"A fun and interactive trainingcourse. The trainer seemed very experienced in his craft both as a trainer and a scrum master. There was also time for questions relating to our daily jobs. I felt there was no hindrence from the digital part of this training, it felt quite natural and working with applications as mural was both functional for the training and helpfull for the trainees to see agile working in action.
