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.

Certified Scrum Product Owner®:Oct 22–23

Certified Scrum Product Owner is offered 'Live Online' and In-Person. Click here to see our class schedule.

Just because you have an agile team capable of moving quickly doesn't mean they are moving toward the right goal. Product Owners are responsible for pointing teams toward the right targets, and Product Owner certification ensures you have the right skills to guide your team. 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! Attend this course to earn Certified Scrum Product Owner designation, 14 PDUs and 16 SEUs.
