Mitch is a really good instructor. He can set the pace with the class so he won’t go too fast or too slow. He knows almost everything about SCRUM (no one ever knows everything, that’s why I write “almost”). If you want to have training in Agile methodologies (and you want to have really good classes), Mitch is the guy to get.

I attended Mitch Lacey’s Certified Scrum Product Owner training in Vienna, and it was worth the flight! His coaching style is open and direct, his content organized and valuable, and his presentation funny, but on point. He facilitates engaging activities, provides anecdotal examples, and introduces useful tools and methods for a rational, value-based approach to product ownership. In short, I have no doubt you will enjoy the training, as I did, and he will encourage you to participate in order to learn how to be a better product owner, which will come with practice of course fundamentals. You will also likely meet a lot of fascinating people who are there to do the same.

Mitch’s ScrumMaster Certification course was pivotal to my recent successes. His insight, structure, curriculum, and candid anecdotes gave me an impressive tool set and confidence to implement Scrum and Agile principles in my work at Amazon Alexa Skills. My greatest takeaway from Mitch’s course was how to quickly communicate and implement new ideas while preventing overload and measuring progress. In the month since his course, I have been asked to take leadership roles for several new initiatives with direct customer impact. And did I mention he made it fun? He is direct and honest, but also clearly cares about people. I would welcome any opportunity to work with Mitch again.

Mitch is the rare instructor that is able to keep the class engaged while also providing broad and practical knowledge. His no-nonsense with levity approach effectively enables the group to learn and feel the importance of the coursework without resulting in the feeling of “being lectured”. I have learned more useful ways to build high preforming teams from Mitch than any other instructor!
