"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.

"The Professional Scrum Prodcut Onwer training was inspiring and hands on. Matthijs de Booij knows how to keep the attention of all group members by combining theory and practice. Recommended! " - 23-12-2019 12:44

"Matthijs is extremely knowledgeable about the subject of Scrum. The course packs a lot of information in a short amount of time so some initial familiarity with Scrum is helpful to draw on as reference. If your company is looking to improve its Scrum practices I can strongly recommend Matthijs as your instructor. Matthijs' teaching style is to challenge assumptions and illustrate less traditional approaches to organization. You will also be well prepared for the assessment for the PSM certification without sacrificing class time to rote memorization. Matthijs is a professional who truly lives and breathes the mindset of Scrum." - 10-11-2019 17:43

"Matthijs has a practical mind and explains the theory by real situations he has experienced or heard by his students. He is really interested in your own experiences and wants to help you to think about the possibilities to improve your organisation. The combination of practice and theory appealed to me." - 28-10-2019 11:09

"I recently had a product owner training with Matthijs. I could say that it was really positive, better than i thought it would be.

We started the training with a small game that focuses you on what is going to be the training. All the explanations were very clear and he answered all our questions with real examples, giving you the clarity you need in this kind of training.

With all his explanations, tips & tricks, i managed to pass the exam and get my certification.

Thanks Matthijs!" - 23-10-2019 09:20

"It is rare to find a trainer that is as passionate about his mission as Matthijs and as gifted for being able to teach people.

He cleverly embeds the Agile framework within his training, making the chapters = product roadmap, the topics = backlog and constantly going through a learning loop and revising it throughout the delivery. You don't only learn Scrum, you actually see it happening in front of you.

And get this - almost 0 slides. He instead draws all the artefacts he uses to teach on flipchart paper. It's amazing how much easier to focus everything becomes when it's a drawing exercise, rather than a boring slide.

Whenever you're not going to be analysing things through his drawings or learning from his real-life examples, you are actually going to spend a lot of time in DYI exercises like: Lean Canvas & Story Mapping.

At the end of the training, you feel like the past 2 days perfectly balanced the SCRUM PSPO content with the real-life situations that you might encounter. Brilliantly designed and delivered. And since he uses Agile day-to-day, I expect this training to actually get better by the time you(hello, person reading this) take it. " - 16-10-2019 15:13

"I needed to learn more about the role of the Scrum Product Owner and prepare myself for the official Scrum.org certification.

The learning experience with Matthijs was really engaging, something fundamental when you are learning new things. He barely used a couple of slides to emphasize on a topic, but he mostly engaged with us (students) through flip charts he creates along the course but he has each of them baselined to not waste any time. He makes each chart visible to all of us at all times so at different stages of the training we can all refer to them. This visual engagement experience made it great and not boring at all. We also did a lot of practical activities together with the other students and this was fun to do, which is fantastic when you are taking such a condensed training with so much information.
I would definitely recommend Matthijs training's to anyone who wants to learn in a pragmatic, good mood and engaging way.
By the way, I took the certification exam and passed at the first try without issues, thanks to different visual references I was able to remember thanks to the way the course was given. " - 13-10-2019 08:57

"The course went beyond my expectations.

Matthijs managed to integrate Agile completely into his training course.

The content was very well crafted and seamlessly prepared all students for the certification. We learned a lot by doing in the form of small workshops, while also having plenty of opportunities to discuss how to apply new learnings to situations we were facing in the real world.

The location is very easy to find and reach. The classrooms were comfortable and food and drinks at the location were excellent." - 12-10-2019 09:24
