I built a Product Owner simulation app because certifications don’t prepare you for real stakeholder conversations

I’ve worked in Agile delivery for years and kept seeing the same pattern: new Product Owners know Scrum, but struggle when they’re faced with real-world decisions.

Things like:

  • Two stakeholders both insisting their feature is the highest priority.
  • Engineering pushing back on scope after sprint planning.
  • Deciding what to cut when a release date can’t move.
  • Writing acceptance criteria that are clear enough for development but flexible enough for change.

So I built SimStack Lite to let people practice those situations instead of just reading about them.

The Product Owner track includes scenario-based decision making, daily challenges, interview preparation, and readiness tracking based on realistic situations rather than multiple-choice questions.

I’d love feedback from this community:

  • What situations do you think new Product Owners struggle with most?
  • If you interview POs, what scenarios separate strong candidates from average ones?
  • What would make a simulation app genuinely useful for practicing Product Ownership?

There’s a free version if anyone wants to try it, and I’d appreciate any honest feedback https://apps.apple.com/us/app/simstack-lite/id6749025487

Built a simulation app for Agile roles - Scrum Master, PO/PM, RTE, DevOps - would love feedback

I've spent years in enterprise Agile delivery and kept running into the same problem: people pass their SAFe or Scrum certifications and then freeze when the real scenarios hit. The cert teaches the theory. Nothing teaches the feel of an escalation loop, a PI planning breakdown, or a backlog that's completely off the rails.

So I built SimStack Lite. It's a scenario-based simulation app for six delivery roles: Scrum Master, Product Owner/PM, DevOps Practitioner, Release Train Engineer, AI Program Manager, and AI Workflow Designer.

Features inside:
- Role-based scenarios with XP and readiness tracking
- Daily Challenges (timed, intermediate/advanced difficulty)
- Rapid Review flashcard decks - 144 cards across all roles
- AI Concept Vault - 59 enterprise AI concepts for practitioners
- AI Career Coach - interview prep, resume bullets, career strategy

Genuinely want to know what scenarios or situations you would want simulated. What's the thing that certifications completely missed for you? I’m looking for honest feedback from experienced practitioners before I continue expanding it. What scenarios would you want to see included that most interview prep and certifications miss?

If anyone wants to try it, let me know and I’ll share the link.

Trying to solve the “how do I get experience without experience?” problem

I’ve spent years working in Agile and tech environments, and one thing I kept noticing:

A lot of people understand the frameworks…

but still don’t feel confident in real-world situations.

Things like:

- difficult stakeholders

- sprint pressure

- prioritization tradeoffs

- production incidents

- leadership communication

Most learning platforms teach theory.

But experience is the hard part.

That observation led me to start building SimStack, a simulation-based learning platform where users practice realistic scenarios as Scrum Masters, PMs, DevOps practitioners, and AI Program Managers.

What surprised me most so far is how many people said:

“I wish I had something like this before my first tech role.”

Still early beta, but excited to finally get it into people’s hands and continue improving it.

Cadence AI Fitness - Adaptive AI Workout Coaching

Most fitness apps I tried gave me a workout plan, but the experience still felt passive.

Whether I trained hard, missed workouts, plateaued, improved, or changed goals… the app usually stayed the same.

I kept wondering things like:
• am I actually progressing?
• should I increase weight?
• am I doing enough to get results?
• why doesn’t the app adapt more?

So I started building Cadence AI Fitness, an adaptive AI fitness coaching app focused on progression, workout feedback, and smarter training adjustments instead of just static plans and workout logging.

The app currently includes:
• adaptive workout guidance
• AI coaching feedback
• strength + hybrid workout support
• workout logging
• progression-focused recommendations

I recently opened a small TestFlight beta and I’m looking for a few people willing to try it and give honest feedback.

Would especially love feedback from:
• beginner/intermediate lifters
• women into fitness
• hybrid trainers
• people frustrated with traditional workout apps
