Though each CSPO course varies depending on the instructor, all Certified Scrum Product Owner courses focus on Scrum from a product owner's perspective. Graduates will receive the CSPO designation. All CSPO course are taught by Certified Scrum Trainers.

Learn the essentials of working as a Product Owner in this two-day class.

Iterative and incremental development requires a steady stream of highest-value Agile requirements which are elaborated just-in-time and thus remain fresh and relevant. Agile software development puts both control and responsibility for success squarely in the hands of the "Product Owner". The challenge becomes how to provide the constant evaluation of value, the constant interaction with the delivery team, and the constant determination off whether requirements are, indeed, done. The best Product Owners harness the Agile feedback loops to constantly improve the value the software organization is delivering. Whether the "product" is for sale in the marketplace, for internal consumption, or custom software built on spec, the Agile product organization must be able to plan for success.

Rally's Certified Scrum Product Owner Training is a two-day, exercise-intensive training designed to help participants.

Attending Product Owners learn:

Agile requirements management-modeling, user stories, acceptance criteria, just-in-time elaboration, ranking backlog items 
Agile planning-visioning, road-mapping, release planning, iteration planning

The Agile product organization-how to organize to support the flow that delivers value iteratively and incrementally, whether you need to support one Agile team, or an entire program or enterprise.

On completion, participants are registered as Certified ScrumMasters (CSMs), which includes a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, (www.scrumalliance.org) where valuable ScrumMaster-material and information are available exclusively to CSMs.
