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.

"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.

"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

"Enthusiastic, experienced and knowledgeable trainer. Xaveer definitely knows how to teach, using inspiring examples and practical assignments. 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

"Well-designed PSPO course with a lot of supplementary information (and not only "how to pass the test") - emphasis on how to apply scrum in the role of PO. I especially liked the entrepreneurial top-to-bottom approach that showed all the usual pitfalls of product development and taught us how to approach solving them. Would recommend this course not only to prospective POs but also managers (all the way to C-suite) to better understand people and processes within the organization." - 2022-11-07 13:10

"Goede interactieve training, waarbij je niet alleen ja en amen knikt, maar intensief bezig bent met je eigen team om alle facetten van Scrum te begrijpen en hoe te faciliteren in je eigen Scrum team. Daarbij is Matthijs een zeer kundige en gepassioneerde Scrum boy :)) en al het les matriaal is daarop ook erg goed uitgewerkt, waardoor het les materiaal goed te volgen en begrijpen was. Al met al is Scrum not easy peasy!" - 2022-06-15 08:14
