Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)
2 DAYS | 16 PDUS | 14 SEUS

Learn to create the product vision, order the Product Backlog, and forge a great experience for the customer.

As we move through the disciplines promoted by Scrum you will gain a comprehensive understanding of agile product development methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a Product Owner. While many of us may be accustomed to the practice of establishing value and priority across projects, the Product Owner needs to consider value and priority across the features of a single project.

Duration

The CSPO Course is a 2-day in-person training with breaks throughout.

CLASS OVERVIEW

In this class you will learn how to:

Understand the fundamentals, terminology, practices and principles of the role of the Certified Scrum Product Owner
Demonstrate your knowledge of the role of the Scrum Product Owner to advance your career

The Product Owner is a leadership role – not an administrative assistant. Proactive, empowered Product Owners seek input in addition to remaining open to receiving feedback to provide value to customers and users. Join us to learn how effective Product Owner’s manage stakeholder expectations and double value.

WHAT CHRISTIAN’S STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

“I want to share with you how much I enjoyed taking the class and that Christian did an absolutely fantastic job. I have been agile on and off for the past 15 years and have served as a scrum master in the last 2 years. Initially I thought that I will be a bit bored, but Christian was very engaging and presented the material in a very thought-provoking fashion. I particularly enjoyed the concept of Mindset vs. Mechanics. I also felt very much empowered as a scrum master. My last engagement entailed an agile conversion in an organization that was rather opposed to change.”

– Micheala W.

“Hi, Christian — thanks again for the very insightful scrum master course training last week! I’m looking forward to observing more and asking questions to start dialogue in my state agency to help us become more agile and efficient leaders.”

– Kendall A.

“Awesome Scrum Master course! You nicely pulled off the virtual aspect. I’d take another of your courses anytime. Thanks again!”

– Janet V

“Christian- I just wanted to connect and say thank you again for the great CSM course you led last week! I really appreciated the dynamic and interactive nature. Also thanks again for the conversation and words of encouragement after the course ended on Friday. Take care!”

Great instructor

Very Good

While I have been a PO for a while, I have not attended a formal class. This class helped identify things that we are doing really well, things that we could do differently or not at all. It was a great validation of our current processes and where I can focus with the team and stakeholders to continually improve. It was right on time, because we are about to move from 3 week sprints, to 2 week sprints and this class showed me things that I can do to track/evaluate the success of this.

Christian was a great facilitator. Kept my attention w/humor and "real-world" examples!

Very good course. Christian is a great teacher, knowledgeable and personable.

The training was engaging and very informative- our team learned so much and we can't wait to implement it as best we can at our company.

Excellent!

The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course with Christian Antoine was an outstanding experience! Christian is a fantastic facilitator who brings energy, clarity, and real-world expertise to the class. He kept us engaged with insightful discussions, hands-on exercises, and interactive virtual breakout sessions that reinforced key Scrum concepts in a practical way. The course wasn’t just about theory—it was packed with real-life applications, thought-provoking scenarios, and collaborative activities that made the learning process both fun and effective. Whether you’re new to the Product Owner role or looking to refine your skills, this class provides actionable insights you can immediately apply in your Agile environment. If you're considering a CSPO certification, I highly recommend taking it with Christian. His ability to connect with the class, facilitate meaningful discussions, and create an engaging learning experience sets him apart. 5/5 stars—an invaluable course for anyone looking to excel as a Scrum Product Owner!

It is the best agile product widely used globally

Great course taught by a great teacher!
