Creativity isn't always clarity.
Great for young professionals. if you were born before the early 90s, the format of the teaching material may be harder to learn than Scrum itself.

PSPO Training - Thank you!
The course was a great and clear overview of scrum and a product owner’s responsibility within the framework. All activities in breakouts were a lightbulb moment, interactive and something that I can take back to my stakeholders and immediately get results. I really enjoyed to collaborate with with fellow product owners. Tess, Blake, Jessica and Kayla were stars of the show. Thanks,

Excellent Class with Tess Thompson!
Excellent Class with Tess Thompson!
I was able to do this class through my agency Turnberry Solutions. Having a Zoom call for two days in a row (Friday and Saturday!) was intimidating but they kept it fun and offered plenty of breaks and lunch. I really enjoyed the class and I feel much better prepared to take the test than if I had studied on my own.
