I just completed an intense, hands-on two-day Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) course led by the incredible Mark Palmer, and I can honestly say, it was one of the most engaging and enriching learning experiences I’ve had.
Mark brought depth, clarity, and a touch of lowkey dad humor to every session, making complex Agile and Scrum concepts not only digestible but genuinely enjoyable. Over two packed days, we dove deep into:
The Scrum framework, roles, and events
Agile principles and how they come to life in real teams
Product ideation, stakeholder analysis, and persona development
Crafting a product vision and product goal
Story mapping, backlog refinement, and writing meaningful user stories
Release planning, prioritization, and roadmapping
And most importantly, collaborating in teams and learning from each other
The course was more than just theory, it was practical, immersive, and people-centered. I walked away not only with a certification, but with a renewed sense of purpose and a toolkit I’m excited to apply in my current role as I grow into a Scrum Master and eventually a Product Owner.
Thank you, Mark, for your energy, insight, and for making learning feel like a conversation, not a lecture. 🙌
If you’re considering a CSPO course, I can’t recommend Mark enough.
