• We take breaks every 90 minutes or so

• No special tech skills are required, though basic familiarity with computers is a must

• We understand that you have life outside the work and it is natural to have some disruptions from your loved or cat or dog or all of them during the video. We encourage class pictures with your pet if you prefer.

• Exam fees, Certification fees, and 2 Years of scrum alliance membership fees are included in the tuition

• You may earn 16 SEUs and PDUs after the class.

The Advanced CSPO is a two-day course which acts as the second step in the three-part Product Owner Path to CSP. It helps Product Owners who have already been practicing Scrum to take their art to the next level in a deeply interactive experience that is tuned to the particular organizational and personal needs of each class.

The course is structured so that each exercise has multiple benefits, acting both as an engaging exploration of a subject and as a model for facilitation itself. This allows students to experience a wide range of advanced tools that they can then use on their own following the course. Far from a dry lecture or recanting of well-worn theories, this workshop aims to deliver personalization and practicality in the most engaging manner possible. All materials are provided in perpetually updated digital format for a rare level of accessibility and re-usability.

One of the first trainer who has been part of the large scrum implementation in 2004/2005 time with 120 plus scrum teams globally in FDA compliance environment. Learn more about Kiran Thakkar:
