Course details
Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Training
Designed to Help You Succeed
Build the product your customer needs, and get paid more, all without burning out.
Your customer will be impressed and so will your boss.
At work have you ever felt...
- unable to say 'no' to a stakeholder?
- pressured to deliver more products, faster?
- questioned about your prioritization?
- like everything is supposed to be number #1? (With each Stakeholder having a different #1.)
- that the team isn't moving in the same direction as each other, let alone you?
- like you're inflicting a feature factory on your team?
- that your team never builds the products you asked for?
- that management doesn't care (or, worse, doesn't trust you)?
The problem isn't you or your team.
Sure, it might be your stakeholders :-), but it's more likely the system you're trying to work within. Traditional self-study doesn't help because everyone claims that their approach will solve all your problems, all of the time. But most courses don't give you sources or anything with clear steps or evidence of results. You read about Lean Startup, Lean UX, Discovery, Product Vision, and all kinds of Maps and User Stories, but it's confusing and you're starting to question cost of training vs benefits.
Be picky about your training, because you're working with real people in the real world, not a theoretical one. In real life, there's egos, deadlines, competition, pressure... a whole host of problems that aren't mentioned in most training material. Fixing the problems - and the system that created them - isn't easy, so you need skills as well as a plan to help find your own unique path through the mess.
Well beyond the theory offered by many trainers, you need an actual plan to succeed. A strategy for things like how to deal with the militant JIRA fanatics. An understanding of why traditional roadmaps fail and what is more effective. Methods to gather input and feedback from stakeholders in a constructive manner while managing their expectations. How to refine technical backlog items. You know... the guts of being a Product Owner in real life, not just on paper.
Discount training gets you discount results.
You can sit through boring PowerPoint and get your Product Owner certification from a trainer who has never built a real product, never spent time on useless features, and who abandons you once the course is over, OR ...

Are you look for low-cost CSPO training?
If cheap certification is all you want, you're in the wrong place. Any Scrum trainer can hit all the learning objectives and get you certified at bargain basement prices, but a digital badge isn't going to actually help you. Discount training won't take away that fear of not knowing how to handle an angry customer banging at your door. For that, you want to learn from an Agile and Scrum expert so you understand how to survive as a Product Owner, every working day. There's no point spending money and time on Certified Scrum Product Owner training if you walk away and still don't have a clear plan on how to fulfill your role, especially as you hit snags. (Is that a stakeholder asking for a new product feature delivered tomorrow?) Mark is different as a professional Scrum and Agile instructor, and the preferred choice of many major organizations and industries including government, software, banking, finance and education, to name only a few.- Hands-on learning of Scrum "what", "how" and "why"
- Expert advice for "Yes, but in real life..." questions
- Techniques to build an effective team without using a carrot and stick approach
- Guidance to deliver the right product, not just features by a deadline
- Methods to create a culture of learning and continuous improvement
- Added value with continued support and resources - it's like extra training days with Mark
- A clear path to long-term success including how to measure progress, hold effective retrospectives and make changes that stick

While other trainers may offer an agenda, that isn’t our style. We believe in Scrum, so we run each workshop using Scrum principles to give you immediate hands-on experience. Instead of an agenda, we use a Product Backlog of all the topics needed to meet all certification requirements, plus so very much more. Then just like in real Scrum, attendees work as a team with Mark to make choices about what gets added, reordered, etc.
The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course centers on Product Ownership in Scrum and the role of the Product Owner. There is a real focus on how to make Product Ownership a collaborative effort with your development team.
The CSPO gets people who want to understand how to build, manage, and maintain an effective product backlog and/or work with the Product Owner to do so (e.g. ScrumMasters, Business Analysts), and professionals looking for better ways to foster collaboration.
Some things include: how to create an effective vision and strategy, why the PO shouldn't be the one to write User Stories, how to help the team split large User Stories into manageable- sized chunks, how to help the team focus on delivering a useable product every sprint.

I really learn a lot, and the straigh forward way to teach from Mark is awesome. Very recommendable.
Mark's CSPO certification program was a deeply engaging and insightful experience, blending practical exercises with theoretical knowledge over two days. His expertise in Agile methodologies and commitment to student understanding shone through, as he fostered an environment of collaboration and open dialogue. Through real-world applications and interactive learning, Mark gave us a profound understanding of the product owner role in Scrum, making him an exceptional teacher and mentor in the Agile domain.
I really enjoyed the Certified Scrum Master course! Mark covered a lot of material in a relatively short amount of time and made me want to keep learning when the course ended!
An informative course, Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and it's clear how much work has gone into making this course accessible while ensuring that all the requirements are met to get the certification.
Mark is very knowledgeable and the mural sessions he leads you through are productive.
Mark is a very knowledgeable coach and dives into the intricacies of being a great product owner. He knows how to explain complex concepts well and makes you feel empowered by explaining how to use the framework properly. Thank you, Mark!
As someone completely new to Scrum I felt like I learned all the basics required to carryon with our project/product.
Very useful
This course offered me a comprehensive understanding of both Scrum Master and Product Owner. The content is a perfect balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application through interactive exercises and real-world simulations. Mark, the instructor fostered a collaborative and enjoyable learning environment.
The course was very relatable with a lot of grey takeaways!
