Over the years, I have provided 100+ training courses and workshops in the fields of Scrum, Agile Product Development, Kanban, and Personal Leadership. I have advised and coached 15+ different organizations within various industries like banking, healthcare, and retail. Before becoming an external consultant, coach, and trainer, i have been 5+ years part of different Scrum Teams as a Development Team member, Product Owner, and Scrum Master.
As an official Scrum.org licensed Professional Scrum Trainer and Accredited Kanban Trainer, I am trusted by the creators of Scrum and the Kanban Method to create the best possible foundation on which you can build upon in practice. As a by-product of your learning you will increase the chance of becoming certified. Below you will find an overview of all the certified Scrum & Kanban training courses I provide.
My training courses are characterized by minimizing use of Powerpoint slides, and maximizing iterative and incremental creation of visualisations on flip charts. These visualizations will help you recollect the lessons learned through the exercises we did, the conversations we had, and the reflections throughout the training course.
I believe that the best way to deliver a training course is by applying the values and principles from the Agile Manifesto on the training course itself. I practice what I preach.

"Nice training, with clear explaining of the content. The usage of flipovers instead of powerpoint presentation is very pretty. Doing the exercises in small flexible groups is very well appreciated." - 2023-06-25 09:14

"Amazing training, Matthijs leads and teaches by example in this training. Everything he does breathes scrum and that allowed me to learn so much more than in a classical training. Barely any slides are used, we learn by introspecting with ourselves and exercising as a group. Everything is captured on flip charts and all exercises use different facilitation techniques, which means you're learning while you're learning!
I couldn't recommend it enough." - 2023-04-28 07:31

"The course was well structured and accompanied with lots of colourful visuals on flip charts, which for me - as a very visual person - was great!
The order of topics was clear and there was enough diversion to keep focused. (no long "monologues" to listen to).
What I missed a bit were more practical examples to connect the theory with practical situations.
Overall a very pleasant experience and Michel certainly knows what he is doing as a trainer! :)" - 2023-04-17 09:55

"I attended the PSPO-A training virtually. I also did PSPO training with Matthijs last year in in-person setting. Both this and the previous trainings were excellently organized and I learnt a lot of new things. The interactive exercises with other course participants increased the training effectiveness." - 2023-03-24 22:43

"It was a very enjoyable training, intensive for sure, but the different teaching techniques contributed to a good balance that kept the course very interesting over both days. I reckon the most enjoyable part were the actual cases that we took on, these were very useful and helpful as it proved to be an accurate example of how to bring theory into practice very easily." - 2023-03-20 16:49

"I didn't know much about Scrum and I was inexperienced about it. Thanks to Michel's well-prepared and well-structured lesson, he helped me to resolve the ambiguities in my mind. During the lesson, he supported us in participating and made us a part of the lesson. In this way, I think the learning process was much more effective. Thank him for everything." - 2023-03-12 13:56

"Matthijs managed to help us get to the core and learn the most important points through well thought-through exercises and role-playing, among other activities. This wasn't a standard "classroom" experience. And that I appreciated very much. Being knowledgeable, experienced, respectful, yet fast to grasp you and challenging at times, Matthijs really made this training one of the best learning experiences I've had so far." - 2022-12-25 16:35

"Matthijs has been an outstanding trainer. Working in an agile environment for the past 2 years, i'd say the whole 2 days were filled with useful information and exercises. I highly recommend Matthijs for your PSM1 and will without a doubt go to him first for any future courses i'd consider." - 2022-12-05 10:42

"Practical content adapted to real world situations. Role play exercises that confront the participant to tricky situations. Matthijs is an entrepreneur himself and his experience has a solid tie with the product owner role. Not only it is aiming to put the candidate in realistic scenarios, but also a good preparation course for the PSPO II examination. A valuable experience that I would recommend for product owners at any level of their careers." - 2022-11-20 19:05

He takes time to answer all questions, no matter if they are related to the scrum theory but or the daily struggles as a product owner. After the two day course I was inspired to take the next step for my product with all my stakeholders and scrum team. Thank you Xaveer." - 2022-11-18 19:58
