Cohort Based Learning

Four cohort 1-hour sessions each week for 4 weeks to engage and learn advanced topics from the trainer and each other and try out what you learned in your organization between the sessions. You will be part of a scrum team that has to overcome real-life challenges in facilitation, coaching, organizational impediments, and more.

Build relationships with the instructors — and your classmates

Learning works best when you are in a community and the best learning experiences are shared. Become part of a cohort to become accountability partners for each other and journey as a Product Owner, become better at facilitation and coaching, be able to decide to scale or not, coach your executives and stakeholders, and create a roadmap to build profitable products. In our program, you will feel like you are doing your A-CSPO journey within a team, even though it is an on-demand program.

Unique format — no more boring lectures

Most online training is boring and prone to distraction. Too many instructors talk for far too long about topics and theories not relevant for real-world application. The other spectrum is self-paced or self-directed learning where you need to be motivated to watch videos and work on the myriad of challenges without the guidance of a live instructor and might struggle to complete

With our A-CSPO program, all our lectures are crisp (no more than fifteen minutes) and are combined with practical, on-the-job exercises so you can immediately put into practice what you have learned under the mentorship of a Certified Scrum Trainer. The challenges are carefully interspersed between the online live sessions so as to get continuous feedback and guidance from the instructors.

• Scrum Alliance Advanced Scrum Product Owner certification fee
