I recently participated in a Product Owner course, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The course provided comprehensive insights into the role of a Product Owner, covering everything from managing product backlogs to stakeholder communication. The instructors were knowledgeable and engaging, making complex concepts easy to understand. The practical exercises and real-world examples were particularly beneficial in reinforcing the lessons. Overall, I found the course to be incredibly valuable for both my personal and professional development. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their skills as a Product Owner.
Nils solidly addressed the diverse interests of an heterogeneous group in a smooth and natural fashion. The classes were very dynamic and interactive, and fostered our critical thinking and introspection by means of simple (but sometimes not easy) exercises.
The PSPO-A training by Nils Oud was a practical, memorable, simply excellent training.
