NEW: AI-powered exercises in all CSPO classes!

We’re excited to introduce our custom-built AI tools to help you work faster and more effectively during the class. You’ll use Mountain Goat Software’s exclusive story-splitting AI to break down big stories and refine them quickly—saving time and effort during backlog refinement. You’ll also turn a vision statement into clear product goals with AI, then review and refine them to align with your strategy.

By choosing this class you also get the unique bonus of more than 3 hours of pre-training videos. Written and delivered by Mike Cohn, Co-Founder of the Scrum Alliance, they're delivered in 5-10 minute lessons making them easy to work through.

These videos make it simple to prepare for the class, giving you a solid understanding of the scrum framework. And with lifetime access, you can refer to them as many times as needed when the class is over. These are the only courses designed by Mike Cohn, co-founder of the Scrum Alliance, and author of Succeeding with Agile, User Stories Applied, and Agile Estimating and Planning.

Since more than half of all projects fail in a traditional project management environment, and the successful products include functionality that's rarely or never used, you won't want to miss this course to equip you for success!

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.

Scott’s ability to connect the course content to the real world set this class apart from others I’ve taken.

Scott is an amazing instructor. I highly recommend this session.

Scott and team did a great job. Course design was excellent. I really enjoyed the breakout sessions.

I enjoyed this class, learned a lot and appreciate how engaging it was. The time flew by, this was a very positive experience.

Concise, dynamic, interactive course. Scott was very responsive to all of our questions.

This training has sharpened my skills and deepened my commitment to continuous product improvement.

Great instructor, awesome job!!

The pre-requisite material introduced us to what would be covered during the live class, which allowed us to discuss these elements in depth with Scott and ask more precise questions.The exercises in breakout rooms allowed us to exchange opinions with our peers and apply the concepts through creative but also relatable examples.Scott was a great instructor: he engaged with us, provided us with examples and practical advice that were a great complement to the class material.

Excellent course, excellent trainer! Having the pre-requisite videos (along with quizzes) was invaluable as it set a baseline level of learning for all attendees and enabled Scott to get straight down to business in the 2-day online portion - meaning we could get straight into workshops and exercises using the knowledge we had already gained. As a new Product Owner I found the content incredibly useful, and Scott's delivery and guidance through the exercises was truly awesome - he is clearly a highly knowledgable and experienced evangelist of Scrum/Agile development and clearly enjoys delivering these classes!
