"Matthijs can explain complex concepts with great clarity, aided by his awesome drawing skills! I took the course online, and it was such a smooth experience.
The course structure left enough space to fully engage with the other participants, and Matthijs expertly incorporated these 'peer insights' in his instruction." - 29/05/2020 13:43

Over the years, I have provided 200+ training courses and workshops in the fields of Scrum, Agile Product Development, Kanban, and Personal Leadership. I have advised and coached 15+ different organizations within various industries like banking, healthcare, and retail. Before becoming an external consultant, coach, and trainer, I have been been 5+ years part of different Scrum Teams as a Development Team member, Product Owner, and Scrum Master.
As a Professional Scrum Trainer and Accredited Kanban Trainer, I am trusted by the creators of Scrum and the Kanban Method to create the best possible foundation on which you can build upon in practice. As a by-product of your learning you will increase the chance of becoming certified.
My training courses are characterized by minimizing use of Powerpoint slides, and maximizing iterative and incremental creation of visualisations on flip charts. These visualizations will help you recollect the lessons learned through the exercises we did, the conversations we had, and the reflections throughout the training course.
I believe that the best way to deliver a training course is by applying the values and principles from the Agile Manifesto on the training course itself. I practice what I preach.
"Matthijs is without a doubt one of the best trainers. He not only has mastered all the theory behind Scrum, but he has vast experience in applying that knowledge in the enterprise world. In his training courses he doesn't just spout the agile platitudes at you, but deals with the real-life messy business of applying agile ideals to the day to day work. Matthijs' trainings are invaluable if you are planning to actually be agile instead of just learning about Scrum."

Simon Flossmann Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO / PSPO I) - English
"Awesome PSPO Training!
Our goal in this Training was to understand how to maximizing value with Scrum.
On this journey we discovered
how important trust in self-organization is,
that quality is key to long term success,
that in complex work you can not copy and past practices and assume you are magically successful in product development
and that empiricism should always guide your decision making.
Along the way, we had lots of great conversations.
Why agility is important?
Should the Product Owner be technical?
What are good characteristics of a Product Backlog?
Matthijs is a fantastic trainer who helped us archive this goal! With his knowledge and experience in Scrum, he inspired us to uncover new ways of working.
I would not only recommend the training to Product Owner but also to Scrum Masters who are seeking for ways to help and support their Product Owners in maximizing value." - 29/05/2020 06:22

Froukje Heres Professional Scrum Master (PSM / PSM I) - English
"De (virtuele) PSM1 training was enorm waardevol. We waren zeer gefocust bezig, met veel interactie, ruimte voor vragen en oefenen met diverse cases. Het was weliswaar best intensief, maar de stof bleef daardoor goed in je geheugen zitten.
Matthijs is een hele fijne trainer, die goed inspeelt op de groep en geweldige visuals maakt om zijn uitleg te bekrachtigen.
Ik kijk alvast uit naar de (virtuele) PSM2 training met Matthijs." - 01/05/2020 11:12

"Het was echt een eerste klas training. Veel concrete voorbeelden, ruimte voor verdieping in eigen cases en zeker door zijn enthousiasme blijft de stof je beter bij. En zelfs door de toevoeging van wat quizjes tijdens de cursus, wordt je kennis goed op de proef gesteld. De praktische tips voor het assessment als afsluiter, maakte het geheel af.
