Early Bird Discount available until September 10.

About the Course

The Product Owner role is critical to maximising Return on Investment from Scrum projects and is perhaps the most challenging role to fulfill. Many Product Owners come from business areas of the organisation and have limited familiarity with software development and agile methods. For these reasons, it is vitally important that Product Owners gain a solid understanding of their role and responsibilities as well as the knowledge, skills and tools to work effectively with Scrum teams.

Compared with the more frequently offered Certified ScrumMaster (CSM) course, the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course is primarily concerned with agile management of scope, schedule, resources, quality and risk to maximise return on investment as is the role of the Product Owner. The practice level of the Scrum Framework is covered in depth as well as User Stories as a tool for requirements elicitation and communication. This course is most suitable for Product Owners and staff who support Product Owners with requirements, planning or coaching.
