What Participants Say About Our Trainers

I recently attended the PSPO (Professional Scrum Product Owner) training conducted by Piyush, and it was an excellent experience. Piyush demonstrated deep expertise in Scrum principles and product ownership, making complex concepts easy to understand through practical examples and real-world scenarios. What stood out most was his interactive teaching style—he encouraged discussions, answered questions patiently, and ensured that every participant was engaged throughout the sessions. The use of case studies and hands-on exercises helped bridge the gap between theory and practice, making the learning highly applicable to day-to-day product management challenges. Piyush also shared valuable insights on stakeholder management, backlog refinement, and maximizing product value, which were extremely relevant and actionable. His clarity, enthusiasm, and ability to simplify challenging topics made the training both informative and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Piyush to anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of Scrum and excel as a Product Owner.

The PSPO Advanced training was highly engaging and really changed how I look at product ownership. It broke the static view of a PO as just a scribe or gatekeeper, and opened my eyes to how the role truly wears multiple hats in different scenarios. The design of the training made it even more impactful, discussing chunks of concepts and then diving into breakout group activities to solve product-oriented problems over the two days. A big shoutout to Piyush Rahate for being an awesome coach who made the learning experience so valuable.

It was great learning with Piyush Rahate. He helped us with building the actual concept of Scrum, whereas I was already working as partial scrum master but after getting the lesson I could understand that I was never doing scrum. All the concepts got clear. I can say now that I can implement scrum at this moment, it is so simple but so impactful. I would like to thank Piyush sir for giving a wonderful understanding and knowledge. I also passed the certification with close to 100%. 😊
