No Death By PowerPoint! - Learn Scrum By Doing Scrum

Not all Certified Scrum Product Owner courses are created equal. With Agile Learning Labs, you will participate in project simulations and game-based learning exercises, so you can learn by doing.

Chris Sims has played most roles on a scrum team at various times, including product owner. They also have a technical background, so they can help bridge the gap for students who may not be fluent in geek-speak.

Agile Learning Labs is famous for its unique style of teaching through innovative games and simulations--in fact, the entire class is run using the tools and techniques you'll be studying, so you'll have completed an actual scrum project by the time you graduate. You'll also come away with a list of "Aha!" moments as long as your arm, all of which will be things you discovered yourself, while actually doing scrum.

Every student takes home a copy of Chris' book, The Elements of Scrum, which is used as a textbook in colleges and by other scrum trainers. You can read the first chapter, A Week In The Life of a Scrum Team online, or check out the five-star reviews on Amazon.

Testimonials From Past Participants:

"You hit all the marks in terms of the environment you set up, the level of student participation, the relevance of the material, the practicality, and the sheer enjoyment of learning. I hope we meet again in a training or workshop soon."

“The teaching style is interactive, which facilitates the learning process. Never a dull moment!”

“This CSPO workshop takes the essence of Scrum and makes it easy to understand for a new product owner.”

“I strongly recommend this class for these three reasons:

Industry experience of the instructors.
Answering questions by bringing real stories as examples.
Structure and amazing preparedness.

This class is top notch.”

An engaging instructor, Chris kept this 16-hour course moving with lively exercises and thoughtful discussions

Chris is a great instructor, and very adept at demystifying scrum and the product owner role in a really fun way!

It was really market driven class and real-life experience included in the course and was very well defined and overall 100% satisfaction once class has been completed. Thanks Chris for this wonderful experience we have gained from your expertise.

Great CSPO training! Well paced and informative.

This was a great course taught by a great subject matter expert. Chris is knowledgeable and funny, and encourages an atmosphere where learning is fun. There were people of all levels of proficiency in the course and everyone was getting a lot out of it. I highly recommend this course!

It was so fun! I would recommend taking a class at Agile Learning Labs.

Great class, Chris was an amazing instructor, I was nervous coming from a non tech background and he made me feel like I belong and very welcoming. I will be taking another course with the same instructor.

Chris is great, super useful training, even if you have a lot of Agile experience. I've been doing Agile product management/Scrum for over 10 years and still got a lot out of it!

Christ was an excellent instructor. He made the class feel welcomed and was very supportive in ensuring understanding across the board. The break out room exercises were extremely helpful and a lot of professional connections were made

Chris is the best!
