Review
I recently completed the Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) course led by Brad Swanson, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
Brad’s deep expertise in agile methodologies, combined with his engaging teaching style, made the course both highly informative and practical. He balanced theory with real-world examples, ensuring that every concept was easy to understand and immediately applicable.
What stood out most was Brad’s ability to foster interactive discussions and create a truly collaborative learning environment. He encouraged questions, shared insightful experiences from his extensive career, and made sure every participant felt included and supported.
By the end of the course, I felt significantly more confident in my ability to fulfill the Product Owner role effectively — from managing a product backlog to collaborating with stakeholders and maximizing value delivery.
I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to deepen their agile knowledge and strengthen their skills as a Product Owner. Thank you, Brad, and @Agility11, for a fantastic learning experience!

Brad was an incredible teacher for this course. The content was presented clearly and succinctly, he gave real word examples, and facilitated breakout rooms with attendees. I especially appreciated that he demonstrated how AI can be leveraged effectively—while maintaining human wisdom and collaboration—within product management. I would highly recommend Brad & Agility11 for any Scrum Alliance training.
