Review
Scott and everyone supporting from MG kept the class fun and interesting. The class was informative, engaging, and applicable. Scott and the rest of the team were able to answer even the hardest questions, point us to additional helpful resources, etc. This was a great class for getting a handle on the fundamentals of Product Ownership.

Review
An incredible atmosphere of immersion with like-minded colleagues from all over the world into the subject area from a theoretical and practical perspective. Special thanks to Scott Dunn for comprehensive disclosure of the material and involvement of all participants in active discussions.
Review
I absolutely loved the Certified Scrum Product Owner course from Mountain Goat Software, instructed by Scott Dunn. The pre-work was a great platform to launch into the two days of training, and the group activities during the training meant I was able to hear others participants' perspectives and this helped consolidate learnings. The course was extremely well facilitated, taught be someone who clearly has hands-on experience with Scrum and with the Product Owner role. I highly recommend this course to others who aspire to a Product Owner role or find themselves in the role with no formal training.

Scrum Alliance-certified trainers have exceptional qualifications, including extensive product management experience. A two-year Scrum Alliance professional membership is included with your successful completion of this course.
This two-day Product Owner course provides everything you need to get started as the business point person using Scrum with a team. You may be a product manager, project manager, business analyst or other subject matter expert (SME), but no matter the role, you know you are the voice of the customer – the one specifying what team should build, the vision, roadmap and priorities for the team and deciding on the feature, cost, and quality tradeoffs.
Certification, PDU’s and Scrum Education Units (SEU’s)
Official Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Certification from the Scrum Alliance.

From Our Students:
“Great course to take me from very basic Scrum knowledge to confidence that I can implement on my own.”
“Just wanted to say thanks again for running this 2 day class. I’ve learned a great deal from you and you are one heck of an instructor. I will definitely recommend you to some of my colleagues.”
“When my ScrumMaster told me he wanted to take a CSM class, from what I know about you and your classes, I thought you were likely to focus on servant leadership more than other trainers, so I sent him your way. He came by my desk this morning ecstatic about his experience and the impression you left on him! Sounds like the slide-less format is being well received. I’m happy to hear you’re experimenting with alternative teaching styles and holding classes that push the boundaries of a typical class experience! Really great work you’re doing.”
