Heeft bij mij geleid tot een succesvol examen. " - 2021-02-13 13:55

Over the years, I have provided 200+ 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 been 5+ years part of different Scrum Teams as a Development Team member, Product Owner, and Scrum Master.
As a 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.
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 is without a doubt one of the best trainers. He not only has mastered all the theory behind Scrum, but he has vast experience in applying that knowledge in the enterprise world. In his training courses he doesn't just spout the agile platitudes at you, but deals with the real-life messy business of applying agile ideals to the day to day work. Matthijs' trainings are invaluable if you are planning to actually be agile instead of just learning about Scrum."

"Training goed opgezet en uitgevoerd in de digitale tijd! Met een duidelijke structuur waarin de theorie duidelijk wordt uitgelegd en wordt voorzien van relevante praktijk voorbeelden. De trainer geeft goede afwisseling tussen zenden en zelf ontdekken/oefenen." - 2021-02-12 09:10

Corine Beerepoot Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO / PSPO I) - English
"This is the second time I had a training from Matthijs, the first was in December 2016 and it was such an inspiring and helpful training that I still remember today. This training was no different. It is a pleasant, interactive training in which Matthijs constantly uses visual representations to make it easy to understand and follow. This time it was given remotely, but it was no less interactive. Besides the theory required for the product owner assessment, Matthijs also explained a lot about being a product owner in practice, product management, and useful tools that we can apply there. I have never encountered a better trainer." - 2021-01-21 12:50

"Leuke training, trainer is actief, heeft de training goed voorbereid, heeft verstand van zijn vak en deelt ervaringen met de studenten. Digitaal liepen we tijdens de training tegen een aantal kleine hick ups aan maar die werden "agile" opgelost. Erg leuk. Ik heb het idee dat ik na deze training samen met de huiswerktips goed voorbereid ben op het assessment. " - 2020-10-12 16:05
