This week I had the amazing opportunity to participate in a 2-day intensive Scrum training with the incredible team at Mountain Goat Software! This experience deepened my understanding of Scrum principles, practical application, and how to drive even greater success in collaborative, Agile environments. As someone who geeks out about best practices for learning activities, I was blown away by the super fun and engaging activities they had us participate in! It made the learning process not only impactful but incredibly enjoyable.

I enjoyed the workshop. My knowledge also sharpened, and I could formulate all kinds of conceptual ideas.

Llana Vaiman Naftulin

As a coach, I'm always seeking more effective ways to ask questions. The concept of quantifying and naming the unknown backlog from the team's perspective-"How much of the solution do you see?"-resonated with me. It's a powerful approach to understanding the team's vision and clarifying uncertainties.

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: Accurate Agile Planning from Mountain Goat Software! Thank you Mike Cohn, for creating and facilitating a fantastic course that is necessary for anyone that has to answer the eternal question, "When can I have. . .?"

Just wrapped up Mike Cohn's "Better User Stories" course from Mountain Goat Software, and it's already helping us streamline our processes. The practical insights have already improved how we approach user stories as a team. Highly recommend it for those looking to refine their process and drive better outcomes.

I've had the pleasure of attending my second class with Mountain Goat Software, and once again, it has been a tremendously valuable experience. Not only have I enjoyed the courses, but I've found significant value in both.
Mountain Goat Software provides an excellent platform for meeting my Scrum continuing education credits, which is crucial for professional growth. More importantly, these courses foster a sense of community among peers where I feel genuinely acknowledged and understood.
The subject matter is not only insightful but also practical. Learning from others' specific tips and success stories has been incredibly motivating and energizing for me. In particular, the recent course on Accurate Agile Planning has equipped me with invaluable tools to help my teams better grasp our planning processes and confidently commit to achievable velocities.
I appreciate how Mountain Goat Software structures its sessions. The use of breakout rooms encourages meaningful conversations rather than overwhelming role-playing scenarios, which can be anxiety-inducing for many.
If you're looking to enhance your Agile skills or pursue your first certification, I wholeheartedly recommend Mountain Goat Software. Their courses are expertly designed, insightful, and delivered in a supportive environment that truly enhances learning and professional development. Thank you, Mountain Goat Software, for consistently delivering top-notch education and fostering a community where Agile professionals can thrive.

Amanda Reed
Mike's classes are always worth the time. Concepts are broken down into real world examples that are easy to grasp and apply. We sometimes tend to overcomplicate our processes, Mike and Mountain Goat remind us how easy it should be 😊 Kyle Olson
Very interesting class. I learned a lot and will use it in my daily work Sarah
I enjoyed how interactive the course was and I picked up some golden nuggets of information that I can overlay within my role. Rhia
The genuine and kind Mike Cohn taught a fun and educational user story class. The breakout sessions were a great way to practice the topics that were discussed. The entire class was easy to follow along and I learned a ton! Jamie F
When debating to sign up for a class, I was hoping to register for an in person class since I learn better in person vs virtually. Unfortunately there were non available. I took a chance with you based on reviews I read and so glad I made this choice. The way you taught the class kept me present which is difficult for me via online and loved how any breakout sessions there were so we weren’t just listening to the instructor. Collaboration was great and will definitely recommend you class and likely take the advance course soon. Thank you for making this fun! Regina del Barco
I took CSPO last week with Mike. My experience was so awesome that I've decided to enroll in another course right away. I want to express my heartfelt thanks to Mike and his team for making this learning experience so valuable and enjoyable. Sultana Amin
The Mountain Goat CSPO sessions given by Mike Cohn were a great learning experience. They combined the right balance of lecture, and interactivity to keep things informative, and engaging Nathan Hawk
This fun and engaging course gives you a solid foundation for project management as a product owner of almost any I can think of, but make sure you do your homework - videos and quizzes - before class! Andy B

Being brand new in Scrum, I felt like I could confidently start a new job. The interactive time spent during the online class was invaluable, and the self-paced material pre-class gave a solid foundation for discussion.

Amanda

The pre-course material is very logical, methodical and instructional. The small breakout sessions in the class allows you to put theory into practice. I watched the pre-course material, took the class, read the Scrum guide and then took the practice test. A few days later, I decided to take the official Scrum Master test. I passed on my first attempt. This is a great class if you want to know what is missing in your current scrum environment and you want to be a better scrum master.

Peter Robinson

There are a ton of articles and videos on-line on the subject of Scrum (many of them written by Mike Cohn and the team at Mountain Goat) and this course does a great job of distilling the lake of information into a manageable and consumable course. Mike Cohn and the other instructors are invested in the success of Scrum at your organization and how much they care really shines through. I have several years of experience working in a Scrum environment and I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to learn new ways to really take their team to the next level.

Drew Grubb

Mike and his instructors offer a fun and interesting way to learn Scrum, and give you all the tools needed to get an amazing score on the CSM Exam! The real-world examples and group exercises were excellent, and made an indelible impression on my agile education. I'd strongly recommend this course to anyone entering the world of Scrum!

Rich Acciavatti
Rich Acciavatti

The class had a lot of great content. Many times we think inside our own box, so this class really helped me see stories and points from a different perspective. Mitch kept it interesting. It was also nice to work in breakout teams so you can get an idea of what others are bringing to the table. Overall, the class was very beneficial.

Whitney D

THE BEST way I got to learn and understand the Scrum framework. Very easy material to grasp and the teachers are welcoming to any questions.

Chelseah Henzaga

Really enjoyed the interaction and collaboration with all of the attendees. Mitch did an excellent job as facilitator/instructor.

Ray Jensen

This course give you all you need to know to be a Scrum Master and makes it really easy to pass the CSM exam.

Olivia S

A lot of value with this program in many formats such as the recordings, 2-day workshop, forum, and coaching calls. The content beforehand is easy to fit into your schedule, is very comprehensive, and uses memorable examples.

Audrey Norvell

I worried that the CSM course would be a lot of memorization of quotes, definitions, and such which I'd memorize for the test, then forget. Instead everything was applied to a real life example, which not only made it easier to remember, but far easier to understand.

Faithie Robertson

As someone who has been leading her scrum team as scrum master for the past six months, but working with a non-IT business team, I wasn't sure what to expect from this course. Mitch made everything accessible and easy to understand. The format of pre-course work and breakout rooms was a great way to reinforce the material. I learned a lot of new tips and tricks during the two days and then successfully passed my exam on the first try. I've even already signed up for my next course with MGS!

Mindi Rice
Mindi Rice

I left this two day class with a wealth of knowledge and practical skills that I will be able to apply immediately in my new role as PO.

Kelli J Marazoff

I would absolutely recommend this class and frankly any class from Mount Goat Software. I always feel so welcomed in the classes and I always gain a lot of knowledge (and new books for my agile reading list). I am super excited that the class price includes a subscription to the Agile Mentors Community. I love reading and engaging with posts/posters.

Kaitlyn Taylor

I would highly recommend this course to Product Owners of all experience levels and also to other scrum roles and stakeholders who want to better understand the role of PO. The instructor was top class, the course was really well structured, the tools worked seamlessly and the community spirit amongst attendees was an added bonus.

Dave Warrell
Dave Warrell

I would highly recommend this class for anyone getting into or looking to take their Product Owner role to the next level!

Mehboob Virani

I have almost zero agile/scrum experience. This class gave me the knowledge, courage, and confidence to completely ACE the CSM exam.

Joseph R

Whether you are new or experienced with Agile and Scrum, the Certified Scrum Product Owner class can benefit your development. From interactive activities to the connected conversation, I would recommend this course to anyone looking to further their PO knowledge.

Anthony L

Mountain Goat is always the first place I go when looking for information on Agile processes and ideas. The classes are excellent and help build a strong foundation for people to understand Agile processes and techniques.

Robert D

CSPO Certification Training by Mountain Goat - I was surprised at the amount of learning that occurred even though I was quite familiar with the material presented. I attended training from PMI for their DASM shortly after and the difference was night and day - Mountain Goat Training is something I will seek out again in the future.

Craig Van Roy
Craig Van Roy

I have really enjoyed getting my CSM and CSPO certifications though MountainGoat Software! They thoroughly prepare you for the class in advance, and they really make the class interactive with real-world experience. Both of the instructors were very personable and added so much to the class, and it was actually really enjoyable and fun. I am really excited about using MountainGoat for future certifications, as well.

Justin Braniff

I am fairly new to the product owner role, and this class helped me tremendously. We haven't really been doing agile right, but now that I know what my role is, I can get us on track. I was so inspired that I immediately started putting a presentation together to get our leadership on track with Agile, and to show them all the benefits of fully supporting us in this endeavor. Thank you so much for providing this learning opportunity, and for the great instructors! I can't wait to take more classes, and I honestly hate "school," so for me to want to take more classes should speak volumes!

Sarah Stefanski

This is NOT another boring lecture style presentation. It is full of instructor and class engagement and participation. It's an opportunity if you are new to Scrum to learn the basics and if you are not new, a good refresher to the basics of Scrum. I'm already looking forward to taking more courses offered.

TJK

I treasure this experience and would certainly recommend this class to friends and colleagues. The blend of learning on your own and then taking it to class worked great for me. You gave me the chance to learn and then actually apply (and sometimes even teach!) what I learned with other classmates, a very diverse group of smart and experienced individuals.

A. Hunt

I really recommend this class to anyone interested in Scrum. Instructors are well prepared, you can ask any question and it will be answered. I feel like the team has a lot of knowledge and passion to share it 😊

Jakub Katowski

I would definitely recommend this course. I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of practical tips and experience I got throughout the course. The theoretical information were also very well prepared, but were only the base to further discussions.

Marta

Very hands on course and that is so refreshing to really engage in the breakout sessions with different team members

Terry

Very interesting practice. I believe that if everyone followed the Agile process there would be less frustration and more progress among projects. I would highly recommend this course for someone looking to make a change to their existing and/or future projects.

Samantha Miller

The CSM class has been very engaging and insightful. I loved how the course was structured and appreciated the opportunity to collaborate with everyone in the team during the practical exercises. The real-world examples helped me understand the concepts better and made it easier to translate them into my day-to-day work. Extremely happy to have chosen a Mountain Goat Software class!

Lidia

Anyone who's seeking to grow their understanding of how to most effectively manage teams in complex working situations has to take this course!

Jacob Braswell

Got a recommendation from a colleague to enroll and was very surprised in the beginning as the pre-course 4 hours videos were so in-depth I couldn't understand what are we going to do on the course! :D But then thorough team exercises, ability to chat with Lance and have coaching on real life cases we face - made it all make sense! Incredible, recommended to my other colleagues

Zhanna L

In addition to providing outstanding live and recorded training, Mountain Goat Software provided an additional video focused on preparing for the test and solid strategies for for taking and passing the test. This information and additional instruction insured my passing the certification testing on the first attempt. I am in the process of taking 2 more courses from them an will be taking more in the near future. The training and content is "top-shelf" an I highly recommend Mountain Goat software for all of tour professional Scrum training needs.

Art Barnwell

I really enjoyed the whole dynamic of the course, from the videos with Mike Cohn to the online course with Lance Dancy. All the classes, the group exercises, the topics helped me a lot both to grow as a Scrum Master and to pass the exam at the end. 100% recommend!

Ines Carvalho

The videos were really good, interesting and engaging and the online classes were very well organised! The breakrooms with the exercises that sparkled a conversation in the team and made us learn effectively were very well thought.

Tania Charneca

A great experience with lots of interactive hands on learning. The 2 days flew by and I have lots to take back to my team.

Karen

The course and the all the prep videos were really informative and helpful for me as I have no prior experience with agile or scrum. It gave me the right terminology and confidence to go search for my new career as a ScrumMaster.

Mette Stig Nielsen
Mette Stig Nielsen

I would highly recommend this course as it provides an extension of the framework done in the CSPO course. Brian was a fantastic instructor and the coursework was level appropriate and engaging.

Diane Marino

I strongly recommend the A-CSPO class offered by Mountain Goat Software! The training provided me with practical knowledge and tools for successful product ownership. Interacting with the other Product Owners and learning from their experiences was invaluable!

Angela A

MGS is the absolute best at providing scrum training and they keep outdoing themselves with every course I attend!

Kelly G

Mountain Goat Software is truly a cut above when it comes to scrum training. Their courses are so smooth, engaging, and up-to-date with the latest in scrum practices. They also do a great job at creating community and fostering connections. Thank you MGS for bringing us all together to learn!

Danielle Bernier

Excellent class! It gave the attendees a good insight into all the practical help and direction when actually being at work that we can use as a Product Owner!

Sophia L

Highly recommended! This class offers invaluable expertise and comprehensive curriculum. The engaging structure ensures motivation and applicability to real-world scenarios. Whether a beginner or experienced, it's worth every moment.

Todor Yanchev

I recommend this class because you have pre-recorded videos, then you join the live-online classes with more knowledge and classes are highly practical. This helped me to understand better and to enjoy more the learning process.

Lincy Rojas Valverde

I chose Mountain Goat Software over other (cheaper) training partners because I felt I would be be supported before, during, and after the training - and I am! The interactive software used in some of the breakout rooms is really quite good (maybe consider commercializing the "buy a feature" tool?). And finally, the post-training resources and community membership are great for someone looking to continue their training as they APPLY what they have learned from class!

Clark Pope

Myself and a group of others from my company had the privilege of taking these Certified Scrum courses from Mountain Goat. We took both the Product Owner and Scrum Master courses in an effort to better understand and officialize our scrum workflow. I found the information from the course helpful in understanding the responsibilities of each role. Hearing real-life examples shared by Brian Milner during the live classes and being able to put these concepts to practice in the group workshop sessions boosted my understanding of the Product Owner role. Right after the class, I was already able to implement some communication tips Brian provided about managing stakeholder expectations during the Sprint Review and saw an improvement in how the stakeholders received the information. Thank you Brian and Mountain Goat for a successful class!

Gabrielle Custodio

I recently attended Mountain Goat Software's Advanced Certified Scrum Master 2 day course. Much to my delight it was facilitated by Brian Milner. Brian is such a skilled and engaging facilitator. The content was logically sequenced and paced well for increased comprehension along with application of new learnings and skills. The best part for me personally was connecting with so many like minded Scrum Masters whose main goals here were to increase their abilities to best serve their teams. The conversations and relationships I made were fantastic and I cannot wait to start making even more of difference with my teams. Thank you Mike, Brian and Mountain Goat Software for yet another enriching learning journey.

Amazing class! Great course content but my favorite part was how engaging and valuable the workshops were. Brian did such an excellent job facilitating and making sure everyone was able to have productive conversations. I wish we had another day just to keep sitting around talking!

Daniel Hunt

I would 100% recommend the Certified Scrum Master Course through Mountain Goat Software. I loved the online videos to watch, and the live interaction. It helped me to easily grasp scrum, and I feel like learned more through that process than other certifications I have taken.

Jillian Jones

Brian's A-CSM class was a perfect combination of recap, new materials, and discussions with other professionals.

Daniel Mundra

This class was a relevant step in learning more about being a better scrum master and the journey in front of the scrum master. I would recommend this class to anyone that is trying to learn more about SCRUM. The instructor was very knowledgeable, understanding, and quick to respond to questions. He had complete control of the class but also encouraged spontaneity. The classmates were all eager to learn and had a wealth of knowledge being from different backgrounds and it seemed like every exercise the team I was with all participated and worked for excellence in the exercises.

This is an excellent place to clarify all your questions as a practitioner in real life, the ones that you get for real, and have people with experience giving you their opinions and also the instructor.

I have used MountainGoat for my CSM, CSPO and A-CSM and couldn't imagine using anyone else. Brian and Scott are both amazing teachers, amazing facilitators, and I leave the class with wisdom, but also practical application. The classes are very engaging and interactive, but also very informative. You can tell Brian really wants to educate and empower his students to succeed, and just truly cares about people. I would highly, and exclusively, recommend MountainGoat for any scrum certifications or education.

Justin Braniff

I highly recommend the CPO course at Mountain Goat Software for anyone new or seasoned as an agile product owner. The course will refresh your existing skills as well as gleaning new insights and techniques you can put into practice.

Marie V

I attended the Advanced SM live online course with Brian Milner. I live in New Zealand, so I did struggle a bit with the 4:30am start, but luckily the course was engaging enough that I wasn’t tempted to go back to sleep. Brian was very knowledgeable and did a good job of explaining things and answering questions. The course set up worked well and it was clear that a lot of work had gone into both the content and the logistics (e.g. breakout rooms). I really enjoyed talking to the other Scrum Masters and sharing our experiences.

Katherine Dooley

Recently did my Scrum Master Certification with Mountain Goat Software, absolutely loved it. Super collaborative and informative. The time really flies when you're having fun and learning new things.

My coworkers experimented with different agile training providers and it's obvious that Mountain Goat is the best! The course has clear & compelling content, meaningful pre-work, engaging breakout activities, and plenty of time for Q&A. It set me up to pass the CSM exam on my first try!

I was nervous about taking the CSM class because I'm not a software developer. I was worried there would be a lot of technical terms I wasn't familiar with. The pre-class videos were a big help. However, it was Mike's pace that was most helpful. He didn't rush through things, he didn't expect everyone to be expert developers or software managers. And he gave plenty of time to ask questions, even for beginners like myself. The class was well taught, with plenty of easy to understand real world examples. I would recommend the class to anyone!

Ryan Dunn
Ryan Dunn

The training is perfectly orchestrated between thematic videos that must be viewed before the two days of interaction with you and the other participants. Mike, I appreciate your commitment to answering all questions with concrete, easy-to-remember stories; it's an absolute pleasure. I have passed all of my Agile Alliance certifications with your company, and each one is based on substance rather than form to pass the certification issues quiz. This is a real plus because the most important thing is understanding the why before the how. In short, I have already purchased the Advanced Certified ScrumMaster training led by Brian Milner on Mountain Goat.

Bruno Boucard

I am very grateful I finally had the opportunity to take a course with Mountain Goat Software as articles on the site have been my guide for many years! For the Virtual Certified ScrumMaster course, emails sent in advance clearly laid out expectations. The course dashboard was well-organized, and at their convenience all students were expected to complete course modules before the course began, which was efficient use of everyone's time. Mike Cohn has both deep subject knowledge and real-world experience, and his friendly manner and interactive approach to course exercises ensured students remained engaged throughout the two days. Thank you very much - I enjoyed the course and would recommend it to others!

[Lance] has helped us since the beginning of our Scrum transition becoming a trusted part of our organization. The difference in Big Agile from other contracting partners is Lance's success in the real world before becoming a CST. Lance doesn't just know the theory he also knows how to apply the theory, speak with the whole programming department and to Executive Leadership on where to improve. Lance is technical enough to help highlight engineering areas for improvement and business minded enough to call out organizational areas of improvements. Matt K.

I love the weekly tips you send out. I love that they are concise, immediately actionable (if we wanted to take action on them) and a quick read. Yours are one of the few emails I continue to subscribe to and I know when I see it in my inbox that it isn’t going to take much time or brain power to reduce my inbox by 1, so the effort is well worth the value given.

Excellent overview of iteration and release planning The course is a must for anyone working in an agile environment. An excellent description of an iteration and release planning. Key concepts such as velocity, story points and ideal days are very well explained. Good recommendations on how they should be used. I found the “Release Planning” topic examples on how to plan a release when the team has historical data versus when the team does not have historical data extremely informative Good pointers on how to approach planning a release on projects that have either a fixed delivery date, fixed scope or fixed cost. Alexandra Ursea
It can’t get any better than this Estimating is one of the toughest things that we face in Agile Projects. No body explains it better than the man himself. The logical sequence in which the content is presented, gives a better understanding about estimating. The reasons to use Story Points over other units is explained crystal clearly. A correct mix of Mike in person speaking to you and animated concepts helps you to focus on learning rather than just listening. Even after completing the course, I had the visual of Mike explaining the concept for few days afterwards. A highly recommended course for any agilist. Raju K.
Simplifies and clearly instructs us through complex planning This video course is brilliant. Each chapter has at least 1 quiz with a variety of question types (select best answer or multiple select etc) where we get instant feedback about our answers. During the course, I've covered a number of useful planning and estimating practices and tools, some of which are common place in most scrum teams (such as planning poker), but this course really gets back to the basics which helps me understand the theory reasons behind it, and identifies what's really important. Since completing the course, I am much more confident with what tools I can use to plan and estimate my projects properly. Within this video course, Mike Cohn presents clearly and provides example scenarios. He draws comparisons which we can all relate to. I've been very impressed with the quality and clarity of the course and would highly recommend to my friends and colleagues. James Van Tuyl
Mike Cohn is an incredible teacher. His real world examples and analogies makes this complex material rather easy to comprehend. One of the most beneficial classes that I have completed. Looking forward to more classes by Mike Cohn! Danny Lopez
This course was absolutely packed with tips, advice, and best practices for both avoiding and resolving issues that occur in using Scrum. I probably checked off a dozen or more issues that I personally experienced over the past 4-5 years that I'd have paid big money for to have the insights that Mike provided in this course. This was by far the most practical, useful course on Scrum I've ever taken. I plan to review this course over again as there is just so much useful stuff. Gregory Luze
Mike has this rare ability of examining complex situations with a lot of gray areas and presenting them with sound recommendations and without any nonsense in simple black and white. Thank you Mike. Hector Rovira
This course goes much further than just treating basics. It really deals with well-known problems probably every Scrum Master and/or Scrum Coach experiences. Mike always offers several solutions considering different circumstances introducing appropriate examples as well. With his extensive knowledge of all parts of agility he convinces and encourages me to try out his hints without hesitation. I really like the length of the videos, all necessary is said and all unnecessary is omitted. The content is really absolutely substantial, interesting and helpful. I recommend this course to every practising SM and agile Coach. Eva Gysling
Great straightforward Scrum coverage, with lots of great metaphors and real-world examples that even non-software folks can understand. I appreciated Mike's great energy and enthusiasm for Scrum.
Rich Hale

This course was a pleasure to attend and the training went by quickly; it was extremely "user-friendly." Mike had a very well organized syllabus with accompanying overhead slides. The content covered in the course was substantive, meaningful, followed a logical format, and at the end of the course left you with the sense that you could perform effectively and confidently as a Scrum Master. In addition, Mike has an easy going delivery style, with an open and receptive personality. He inspires the participants into active discussion and conversation, and provides countless opportunities to ask questions. It is clear that Mike possesses an in-depth knowledge of Agile/Scrum specifically, and of SW development and project management more broadly. Finally, the conference room was strategically and effectively laid out to facilitate discussion among the group as a whole, and also among the participants at each of the individual tables. The class was very informative, fun, and...he's also got a great sense of humor. Gray B.
This class was a great experience for me. It gave me a clear understanding of how a CSPO manages a product . I would recommend this class to anyone interested in obtaining their CSPO and understanding the responsibilities of a product owner.
