Certified Scrum Product Owner®

Through visual presentations, hands-on activities, and real-world examples, you will develop a personal understanding of Agile Product Ownership and gain skills needed to establish a vision, align stakeholders, and confidently lead your team in delivering high-value, high-impact products and services. Some of the key concepts you'll learn in this highly practical CSPO workshop include:

• The importance of “value slicing” in decomposing big ideas and customer requests 
• How to make the shift from a Ticket Taker to a Solution Designer
• Shaping, sizing, scoring, and sequencing incoming work to reduce risk and deliver value
• The value of a Scoping Canvas in framing the problem & designing the right solution
• Powerful collaborative frameworks to move you from a reactive to proactive approach

NOTE: The CSPO workshop will include a summary of the AI tools and techniques Product Owners can use for market research, persona generation and validation, requirements analysis, and rapid prototyping. As time and learner interests permits, we may demonstrate and coach learners in the application of select AI tools in our "Build a Product" simulation.
