What students say about John

John is a great trainer
John is a great trainer, clearly experienced and absolutely an expert in his field. I thoroughly enjoyed learning PAL-E from John he made the content easy to learn by using many learning techniques, such as story telling/examples, and testing tips to ensure we understood the content. The best part was John was engaged and committed to my success.

John was a joy to learn from (which is what makes learning so much easier). John helped combine real-world, practical experience and stories, with a depth of academic knowledge of scrum and its characterists.

PSPO I training
I decided to attend the PSPO I training with John Coleman based on some really positive reviews. But let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations! John is incredibly knowledgeable and has a real knack for explaining things in a way that just clicks. We had a lot of hands-on exercises and engaging discussions that made the five hours fly by in no time. When it's time for me to take on the PSPO II, I'll definitely be looking for another training with John. A big thank you to him for such a fantastic experience!

An enjoyable and informative class!
I really enjoyed John's class and felt like I came away with practical knowledge that I was lacking. Also, he's so friendly and amiable that the class is easy to relax into and keeps your attention.

Great material, great teacher, not that much time
The material is great and John provided us with lots of good examples based on his experience so far. The area where things were not so great was the time which was not that much, and we could have made great use of at least another session.

Exceptional Experience with PSK trainer John Coleman
Trainer John Coleman's Psk class was a highly personalized and exceptional experience. His knowledge, helpfulness, kindness, and professionalism made the class both educational and enjoyable. He tailored the class to the my needs, based on my professional experience, ensuring that the material covered was relevant and beneficial.

Well-structured training course, excellent trainer!
Well-structured training course, delivered by John Coleman at the University of Westminster. John is extremely knowledgeable, explains concepts well, and imparts useful tools and memory aids to help retain the knowledge. I passed the exam first time, so can attest to how well this worked! John also conducted three follow-up sessions with the class in which we went through the Scrum Open Assessments and a couple of other practice tests. This was helpful, as it helps to prepare oneself for the type of wording used in the real exam.

John was really good and informative in his teaching method. He went through the course in depth but wish we had more time.

Applying Professional Scrum
While it was initially difficult to grasp all the nuanced differences in the course material, with the help of such a great lecturer and communicator as John, we were able to quickly grasp the core concepts of Scrum and its adjoining frameworks.
Oct 19, 2023
I had a wonderful experience with John as my PSPO-A trainer
John is an excellent trainer who brings a fantastic perspective to the training I had - he is an expert in Scrum, but his experience is so much broader than that, and he could sometimes assimilate opposing framework views and opinions and discuss all of it with confidence - the kind of confidence that makes you confident when you leave the room! His exam prep sessions alone are worth the price of the training.

Practical course on scaling Scrum
John gives lots of insight and shares his own real-world experiences. His course was engaging and practical. I really enjoyed how he combined other facets to compliment the course such as Kanban, Lean, LeSS, Flight Levels and references to others in the community and their material. Would definitely take more courses from him again and recommend him to others.

Really enjoyed John's teaching style and activities on the Scrum Master course at the University of Westminster. Lots of experienced knowledge sharing with humor making the learning memorable and easy to apply.

Really enjoyed it
I really enjoyed the course and how John has structured it, he is very attentive to his student's needs. You learn scrum and agile through practical examples, rather than theorical lectures. It won't be easy to forget what we have learned.

Excellent training
John Coleman is an excellent coach and trainer and I would recommend him without hesitation. I attended his PSM II training and the assessment readiness call and not only was I extremely well prepared to pass the PSM II exam quickly and easily, but I learned so much of value that was immediately applicable to my work as an Agile Coach, and was introduced to new ideas, tools and books to explore as a next step. He customises trainings/exam prep sessions to the needs of the attendees and has a wealth of experience and up-to-date knowledge to share with his students to make the training relevant and engaging. Highly recommend.

A Game Changer in Agile Practices
I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the Kanban class I recently attended. John Colemans' exemplary teaching style, profound subject knowledge, and remarkable patience made this class an invaluable learning experience for me.
From the very beginning, the instructor demonstrated an extraordinary ability to make complex concepts easy to understand, and their patience in addressing questions and concerns truly set them apart. The class offered a comprehensive understanding of Kanban principles, practices, and real-world applications, which has significantly contributed to my Agile toolkit.
The instructor's exceptional guidance and support in facilitating hands-on activities and interactive discussions were instrumental in deepening my knowledge and skills in Kanban. They expertly tailored the course content to accommodate participants from diverse backgrounds, making it an enriching experience for everyone involved.
Having attended this class, I feel more confident and equipped to bring about positive changes in my Agile profession. The techniques and strategies I learned in this course have already made a tangible difference in workflow and overall productivity.
I wholeheartedly recommend this Kanban class to anyone looking to enhance their Agile practices and unlock the full potential of their teams. Whether you're new to Kanban or an experienced practitioner, this class is guaranteed to provide you with a wealth of practical knowledge and insights that will leave a lasting impact on your professional journey.

I had the privilege to have undertaken the PSPO course accredited by Scrum.org with John Coleman. It was a great learning and experiment session. The real-time examples and scenarios made the sessions more interactive and interesting to learn.
John Coleman does a phenomenal job at organizing the PSPO course to keep everyone fully engaged. Really enjoyed and learned a lot about Scrum world in 3 days. He's very humorous and was generous in sharing his experience. He also recommended some great books.
I successfully passed the PSPO exam big thanks for the support and mentoring provided by John. I thoroughly recommend the course. Thanks again John, hope I get to attend one of your other courses soon!
Keep Calm & Scrum On :)

A wonderful experience
John is a great trainer and a fantastic person. He truly wants to teach, explain and create new Scrum ambassadors. He has a natural aptitude for passing down knowledge on top of being funny and knowing how to keep things interesting. I would recommend any class with John, this is my second one and certainly not the last.

A Positive Experience: Scaled Professional Scrum Class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption
I would highly recommend the Scaled Professional Scrum class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this framework.
I recently took the Scaled Professional Scrum class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption and it was a great experience. John is a highly knowledgeable and experienced trainer who has a true passion for delivering the best learning experience. He is patient, approachable, and excels at explaining complex topics in a clear and concise manner.
Throughout the course, John shared numerous stories and examples that helped to solidify my understanding of the Scaled Professional Scrum using the Nexus Framework. He also provided practical tips and techniques that I was able to immediately apply in my work. John's teaching approach was engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking, making the class both enjoyable and enriching.
I was provided with comprehensive training materials, including presentations, practical exercises, and follow-up support to ensure that the course content is retained after the class has ended. I was also offered ongoing resources to help me continue with my learning.

PSM II online class
I did an online training for PSM II course and the flow, topics, techniques used by John really helped to keep it engaging and focused. It was inspiring to witness John's passion for the agile world, and it was insightful, since we talked a lot about real-life problems and different ways to approach them. Overall, it was wonderful training that brought a lot of benefits and encouraged me to keep getting better while keeping the humbleness that John still shows after all the years of experience. Recommend it to everyone who wants great learning experience!

John has unparalleled training, facilitation and coaching skills.
John has unparalleled training, facilitation and coaching skills, supported by the ability and experience to run courses with a Mural Board and no presentation material. John puts emphasis on individuals & interactions, over processes & tools, by sharing and enabling participants to share their practical experiences, also thanks to spot-on exercises. The PSM II advanced course touched topics, scenarios and use-cases related to the ordinary and extraordinary life of a Scrum Master e.g., who wants to use empirical & evidence-based data for continuous improvement, to serve the Scrum Team to focus yet focus on their responsibilities and accountabilities, as well as on their impact on the organisation.
I highly recommend everybody to join the PSM II Advanced Course with John since it is a unique experience to get a solid understanding and perspective of the importance of the Scrum Master accountabilities, as well as their natural career development, within the Scrum Team and in the organisation.

Rewarding class
I liked the way this class is organized. Instead of going through all theoretical aspects, we, class attendants, are requested to go through some guides before hand so that the class can focus on the practical aspects and be more interactive. I really liked this model. It really allows to optimize the time we had with John with very nice exercices and discussions.
Also, the session dedicated to prepare the exam are very useful.
I highly recommend this class.

CSPO Training Feedback
Though I have working experience in Agile, the trainer and the training artefacts provided more insights. Workshops were good and interactive. Discussion with multiple people provides more exposure. Queries are clarified with real life examples which was more interesting. One suggestion would be to include workshop use cases based on the training participants work Industry.

The PSU I course led by John Coleman was great! He guided my cohort through foundational elements of Scrum as well as the primary roles. John successfully shared the Lean UX canvas activities in parallel to the Scrum approach. He then wove the concepts together to educate the cohort on the ability to deliver successfully with design activities within Scrum process. John was able to guide my cohort, made of different career types, through questions and scenarios that improved our understanding of Scrum with UX. John also provided additional support for concepts we were going to encounter in the assessment, as there is not a specific practice assessment for the certification. In all the course, conversations, hands-on activities, and additional information shared by John made the coursework approachable and practical for use in my work. Thanks John!

Safe and Inclusive
Really enjoyed learning with John. Even in a virtual environment, he made participation feel safe and inclusive. I've always found virtual training quite tiring and draining, however, even thought I was tied by the end of each day, I found my energy and focus throughout the course high and sharp and Joh must take the credit for this.

Professional Scrum Master class - PSM I Certification
The session was an eye opener, John had simplified the Scrum concepts and made it easier and relatable. Had an exclusive session with him on the Kanban and played a game which was so helpful to understand the purpose and will surly help me in the implementation of the learning confidently and also help my team to deliver Value. Also appreciate the efforts/inputs provided during the preparation and practice sessions for the test.

Hands down brilliant, would have given it 6 out of 5 stars if I could
The course was brilliant. John Coleman is a super knowledgeable and engaging training, providing a safe, interesting and dynamic learning environment. I'm a natural note taker and I took a tonne of notes and I'm not even sure how I managed that as we had fluid conversation throughout the entire course.
I really recommend John's training to all Agile Coaches and Product Owners.
Aug 23, 2021
Filled with real world nuggets
The class John Coleman gave certainly exceeded my expectations. He was able to guide me towards knowledge, both his own and many resources that were hugely useful on my journey towards being a better, more questioning Agilist. His after class support is great and he responded quickly and in depth to reaching out to him. I had to tell him that on starting my new role I was very well prepared as a situation I encountered was a situation he had posted to us in class almost verbatim. Using some of his phrases and approaches, thanks John, has resulted in very positive results for me.

Really valuable for Scrum Masters
In this training, we experienced all the stages of Lean UX from product definition to value validation, through engaging workshops and examples. I discovered that UX covers a much wider range of activities than I already thought.
As a Scrum Master, I found this training really valuable in my understanding of what UX entails and how it can help the Product Owner to maximize and validate value. Having this knowledge helps me better serve the Product Owner and the Developers.
John Coleman is a great trainer with a vast body of knowledge. His dry sense of humour and calm personality set the stage for an engaging training.
If I would have to nitpick on one thing that could improve, it would be the relatively small number of other attendants. Maybe because people were on Christmas holiday? One of the things I enjoy most about going to a training course is learning from the other students' experiences and their success stories and struggles.
All in all I would definitely recommend going to this training.
Jul 15, 2021
Excellent insights into Product Ownership
Excellent training delivered by John Coleman. He brings not only the methodological expertise, but also his experience at applying the framework in different contexts and using the correct tools to support it.
The course is well-structured and presented in a didactic way, using scenarios and design thinking dynamics to apply the content.

Recommending this class
Really enjoyed the training with John! He is an very engaged trainer, giving lots of insights from his practical experience.
It was amazing to see John's engagement on preparing his students for the PSM II assessment after the two-days training. One small thing that could be improved is the time boxing as students might have other appointments after the training.

The training followed interactive and modern learning strategies. Instead of boring, hard-to-remember lectures, John helped us to bring out, consolidate and apply our experiential knowledge about Scrum with UX. I expected nothing less from this great Scrum trainer!
Johns training improved my practice as a Scrum Master. Now, I am feeling very comfortable in helping Scrum Teams to apply UX within Scrum to create more value for their customer!

Enjoyable and useful class
I enrolled to get PSMI, a new world for me, required on my customer's projects.
So I run into John's class. And per other reviews, he won't disspaoint you. He is a great teacher and mentor.
Training sessions were interactive and made us think beyond what could be expected. A mix of theory but also role playing, team working and brainstorming. He is commited to making people change their mentality, enjoying the Scrum world and dive deep with many recommendations.
New favorite!

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUen2CeyTDk. John himself is broad & deep from the points of view of agility, people & change.
Standing on the shoulders of giants
John is a systems thinker who happens to be a huge fan of Cynefin and sees the benefits of both, erring on the side of Cynefin where they clash. Most importantly, John takes an independent view. John is also a people & change thinker; he uses Spiral Dynamics Integral (certified to level 2) and other models; even if they are criticized in some quarters as pseudoscience, John finds aspects of Spiral Dynamics helpful in structuring better conversations with people.
More proof he knows what he's talking about, and has done what he talks about
John's Scrum+Kanban Nexus+ case studies can be found (international payments company, European bank) at https://www.valueglide.com/blog/nexus-nexus-and-scrum.org-certifications.
John is grateful to be part of Marshall Goldsmith's #payitforward campaign and, in so doing, offers free coaching/mentoring/co-training to a selection of potential agility chefs. John is a member of the #MarshallGoldsmithLead60 group, a cohort from the 16,000+ #MarshallGoldsmith100CoachesApplicants. It was a privilege for John to be one of a lucky group of 60 people; Marshall Goldsmith himself taught that group in Salt Lake City in February 2018. All of John's workshops #payitforward Marshall Goldsmith content, including Marshall's advice to John himself.

PSPO I training
I decided to attend the PSPO I training with John Coleman based on some really positive reviews. But let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations! John is incredibly knowledgeable and has a real knack for explaining things in a way that just clicks. We had a lot of hands-on exercises and engaging discussions that made the five hours fly by in no time. When it's time for me to take on the PSPO II, I'll definitely be looking for another training with John. A big thank you to him for such a fantastic experience!
Jan 18, 2024
An enjoyable and informative class!
I really enjoyed John's class and felt like I came away with practical knowledge that I was lacking. Also, he's so friendly and amiable that the class is easy to relax into and keeps your attention.

Great material, great teacher, not that much time
The material is great and John provided us with lots of good examples based on his experience so far. The area where things were not so great was the time which was not that much, and we could have made great use of at least another session.

Exceptional Experience with PSK trainer John Coleman
Trainer John Coleman's Psk class was a highly personalized and exceptional experience. His knowledge, helpfulness, kindness, and professionalism made the class both educational and enjoyable. He tailored the class to the my needs, based on my professional experience, ensuring that the material covered was relevant and beneficial. I highly recommend Trainer Coleman's class for anyone looking to learn Psk.

Well-structured training course, excellent trainer!
Well-structured training course, delivered by John Coleman at the University of Westminster. John is extremely knowledgeable, explains concepts well, and imparts useful tools and memory aids to help retain the knowledge. I passed the exam first time, so can attest to how well this worked! John also conducted three follow-up sessions with the class in which we went through the Scrum Open Assessments and a couple of other practice tests. This was helpful, as it helps to prepare oneself for the type of wording used in the real exam.

I had a wonderful experience with John as my PSPO-A trainer
John is an excellent trainer who brings a fantastic perspective to the training I had - he is an expert in Scrum, but his experience is so much broader than that, and he could sometimes assimilate opposing framework views and opinions and discuss all of it with confidence - the kind of confidence that makes you confident when you leave the room! His exam prep sessions alone are worth the price of the training.

I really enjoyed the course and how John has structured it, he is very attentive to his student's needs. You learn scrum and agile through practical examples, rather than theorical lectures. It won't be easy to forget what we have learned.

John Coleman is an excellent coach and trainer and I would recommend him without hesitation. I attended his PSM II training and the assessment readiness call and not only was I extremely well prepared to pass the PSM II exam quickly and easily, but I learned so much of value that was immediately applicable to my work as an Agile Coach, and was introduced to new ideas, tools and books to explore as a next step. He customises trainings/exam prep sessions to the needs of the attendees and has a wealth of experience and up-to-date knowledge to share with his students to make the training relevant and engaging. Highly recommend.

A Game Changer in Agile Practices
I cannot emphasize enough how impressed I am with the Kanban class I recently attended. John Colemans' exemplary teaching style, profound subject knowledge, and remarkable patience made this class an invaluable learning experience for me.
From the very beginning, the instructor demonstrated an extraordinary ability to make complex concepts easy to understand, and their patience in addressing questions and concerns truly set them apart. The class offered a comprehensive understanding of Kanban principles, practices, and real-world applications, which has significantly contributed to my Agile toolkit.
The instructor's exceptional guidance and support in facilitating hands-on activities and interactive discussions were instrumental in deepening my knowledge and skills in Kanban. They expertly tailored the course content to accommodate participants from diverse backgrounds, making it an enriching experience for everyone involved.
Having attended this class, I feel more confident and equipped to bring about positive changes in my Agile profession. The techniques and strategies I learned in this course have already made a tangible difference in workflow and overall productivity.
I wholeheartedly recommend this Kanban class to anyone looking to enhance their Agile practices and unlock the full potential of their teams. Whether you're new to Kanban or an experienced practitioner, this class is guaranteed to provide you with a wealth of practical knowledge and insights that will leave a lasting impact on your professional journey.

I had the privilege to have undertaken the PSPO course accredited by Scrum.org with John Coleman. It was a great learning and experiment session. The real-time examples and scenarios made the sessions more interactive and interesting to learn.
John Coleman does a phenomenal job at organizing the PSPO course to keep everyone fully engaged. Really enjoyed and learned a lot about Scrum world in 3 days. He's very humorous and was generous in sharing his experience. He also recommended some great books.
I successfully passed the PSPO exam big thanks for the support and mentoring provided by John. I thoroughly recommend the course. Thanks again John, hope I get to attend one of your other courses soon!
Keep Calm & Scrum On :)

A wonderful experience
John is a great trainer and a fantastic person. He truly wants to teach, explain and create new Scrum ambassadors.

I would recommend any class with John, this is my second one and certainly not the last.

A Positive Experience: Scaled Professional Scrum Class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption
I would highly recommend the Scaled Professional Scrum class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption to anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this framework.
I recently took the Scaled Professional Scrum class with John Coleman at Orderly Disruption and it was a great experience. John is a highly knowledgeable and experienced trainer who has a true passion for delivering the best learning experience. He is patient, approachable, and excels at explaining complex topics in a clear and concise manner.
Throughout the course, John shared numerous stories and examples that helped to solidify my understanding of the Scaled Professional Scrum using the Nexus Framework. He also provided practical tips and techniques that I was able to immediately apply in my work. John's teaching approach was engaging, interactive, and thought-provoking, making the class both enjoyable and enriching.
I was provided with comprehensive training materials, including presentations, practical exercises, and follow-up support to ensure that the course content is retained after the class has ended. I was also offered ongoing resources to help me continue with my learning.

PSM II online class
I did an online training for PSM II course and the flow, topics, techniques used by John really helped to keep it engaging and focused. It was inspiring to witness John's passion for the agile world, and it was insightful, since we talked a lot about real-life problems and different ways to approach them. Overall, it was wonderful training that brought a lot of benefits and encouraged me to keep getting better while keeping the humbleness that John still shows after all the years of experience. Recommend it to everyone who wants great learning experience!

John has unparalleled training, facilitation and coaching skills.
John has unparalleled training, facilitation and coaching skills, supported by the ability and experience to run courses with a Mural Board and no presentation material. John puts emphasis on individuals & interactions, over processes & tools, by sharing and enabling participants to share their practical experiences, also thanks to spot-on exercises. The PSM II advanced course touched topics, scenarios and use-cases related to the ordinary and extraordinary life of a Scrum Master e.g., who wants to use empirical & evidence-based data for continuous improvement, to serve the Scrum Team to focus yet focus on their responsibilities and accountabilities, as well as on their impact on the organisation.
I highly recommend everybody to join the PSM II Advanced Course with John since it is a unique experience to get a solid understanding and perspective of the importance of the Scrum Master accountabilities, as well as their natural career development, within the Scrum Team and in the organisation.

Rewarding class
I liked the way this class is organized. Instead of going through all theoretical aspects, we, class attendants, are requested to go through some guides before hand so that the class can focus on the practical aspects and be more interactive. I really liked this model. It really allows to optimize the time we had with John with very nice exercices and discussions.
Also, the session dedicated to prepare the exam are very useful.
I highly recommend this class.

CSPO Training Feedback
Though I have working experience in Agile, the trainer and the training artefacts provided more insights. Workshops were good and interactive. Discussion with multiple people provides more exposure.

The PSU I course led by John Coleman was great! He guided my cohort through foundational elements of Scrum as well as the primary roles. John successfully shared the Lean UX canvas activities in parallel to the Scrum approach. He then wove the concepts together to educate the cohort on the ability to deliver successfully with design activities within Scrum process. John was able to guide my cohort, made of different career types, through questions and scenarios that improved our understanding of Scrum with UX. John also provided additional support for concepts we were going to encounter in the assessment, as there is not a specific practice assessment for the certification. In all the course, conversations, hands-on activities, and additional information shared by John made the coursework approachable and practical for use in my work. Thanks John!

Safe and Inclusive
Really enjoyed learning with John. Even in a virtual environment, he made participation feel safe and inclusive. I've always found virtual training quite tiring and draining, however, even thought I was tied by the end of each day, I found my energy and focus throughout the course high and sharp and Joh must take the credit for this.

Had an exclusive session with him on the Kanban and played a game which was so helpful to understand the purpose and will surly help me in the implementation of the learning confidently and also help my team to deliver Value. Also appreciate the efforts/inputs provided during the preparation and practice sessions for the test.

Hands down brilliant, would have given it 6 out of 5 stars if I could
The course was brilliant. John Coleman is a super knowledgeable and engaging training, providing a safe, interesting and dynamic learning environment. I'm a natural note taker and I took a tonne of notes and I'm not even sure how I managed that as we had fluid conversation throughout the entire course.
I really recommend John's training to all Agile Coaches and Product Owners.
Aug 23, 2021
Filled with real world nuggets
The class John Coleman gave certainly exceeded my expectations. He was able to guide me towards knowledge, both his own and many resources that were hugely useful on my journey towards being a better, more questioning Agilist. His after class support is great and he responded quickly and in depth to reaching out to him. I had to tell him that on starting my new role I was very well prepared as a situation I encountered was a situation he had posted to us in class almost verbatim. Using some of his phrases and approaches, thanks John, has resulted in very positive results for me.

Really valuable for Scrum Masters
In this training, we experienced all the stages of Lean UX from product definition to value validation, through engaging workshops and examples. I discovered that UX covers a much wider range of activities than I already thought.
As a Scrum Master, I found this training really valuable in my understanding of what UX entails and how it can help the Product Owner to maximize and validate value. Having this knowledge helps me better serve the Product Owner and the Developers.
John Coleman is a great trainer with a vast body of knowledge. His dry sense of humour and calm personality set the stage for an engaging training.
If I would have to nitpick on one thing that could improve, it would be the relatively small number of other attendants. Maybe because people were on Christmas holiday? One of the things I enjoy most about going to a training course is learning from the other students' experiences and their success stories and struggles.
All in all I would definitely recommend going to this training.

Excellent insights into Product Ownership

Recommending this class
Really enjoyed the training with John! He is an very engaged trainer, giving lots of insights from his practical experience.
It was amazing to see John's engagement on preparing his students for the PSM II assessment after the two-days training. One small thing that could be improved is the time boxing as students might have other appointments after the training.

Training sessions were interactive and made us think beyond what could be expected. A mix of theory but also role playing, team working and brainstorming. He is commited to making people change their mentality, enjoying the Scrum world and dive deep with many recommendations.
New favorite!
