As an Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner® (A-CSPO®), you've already mastered advanced techniques for generating value and influencing stakeholders. Now you're ready for the final step — distinguishing yourself as a visionary product leader at the highest level of the Scrum Alliance track. The Certified Scrum Professional® Product Owner® (CSP-PO®) validates your mastery of organisational strategy, complex stakeholder influence, and high-level product discovery: the skills that separate strategic leaders from senior practitioners.

Mastery doesn't happen in a weekend. It happens through applied practice while you work. Our self-paced mentorship model fits around your actual role — fortnightly live sessions with Certified Scrum Trainer Rickard Jones, who operates at strategic and organisational level every day. You bring your real product roadmap and the systemic challenges in your organisation. You leave each session with guidance drawn from live client work, not theory. Complete in as little as 6 weeks or take up to 6 months. You set the pace.

What you need to join

You'll need an A-CSPO® certification — it doesn't need to be active. To receive your CSP-PO® credential you'll also need at least 24 months of Product Owner experience logged in your Scrum Alliance profile. You can start the programme before reaching 24 months and complete that requirement along the way.

Bonus: Completing your CSP-PO® renews all your Scrum Alliance certifications for two years — a powerful reason to formalise the experience you've already built, even if your A-CSPO® has lapsed.

Mastery Level Isn't a Video Course. It's a Mentoring Journey.

US rivals charge $1,000–$1,300, route you through gamified video pathways. Our programme puts you in a fortnightly live session with Certified Scrum Trainer Rickard Jones — working directly on your real organisational challenges. Not a fictional case study. Not a pre-recorded answer. Your actual product roadmap, coached by someone who operates at this level every day.

Other UK live providers charge £1,250+ and ask a senior Product Owner managing multiple stakeholders and a live roadmap to clear 16 hours of calendar. Our rolling fortnightly format delivers the same Scrum Alliance credential in one-hour sessions around your actual Sprint cycles — at a fraction of the cost, with guidance that applies directly to the strategic work you're already doing.

One-on-one close-out session via Zoom

Included: A 1:1 Close-Out Session with Rickard

When you're ready to validate your learning and close out the programme, Rickard will sit down with you one-on-one to review your journey, reflect on your growth, and confirm your certification.

  • ✓ Review your professional learning log and reflect on the real organisational outcomes you've achieved.
  • ✓ Leave with clarity on your positioning as a CSP-PO® practitioner and your next steps as a strategic product leader.

How the CSP-PO® Programme Works

01

Self-Paced Mentorship — Your Organisation Is the Classroom

This is a rolling mentorship programme, not a classroom course. You join at any time and can complete in as little as 6 weeks or up to 6 months — you decide. We meet fortnightly on Thursdays, 5–6 pm UK time via Zoom. Between sessions, participants use professional networks to stay connected and often arrange additional peer-led sessions. Rickard coaches at strategic and organisational level in the field every week — the guidance you receive is drawn from live client work, not theory.

02

No Exam — Certification Through Demonstrated Professional Practice

There is no exam. During your first mentoring session, we'll discuss the required professional learning log and set your desired outcomes for certification. You'll participate in a combination of peer events, workshops, and mentoring sessions while completing the log. You must attend at least four mentoring sessions and demonstrate competency across all professional learning objectives. The programme takes a minimum of 6 weeks to complete.

03

Your Learning Log — In Any Format That Works for You

As you progress, you'll record what you learn in a concise log — the format is entirely yours: written notes, slide decks, video reflections, sketches, whatever helps you communicate that learning. A peer-reviewed reflection session evaluates how the programme has developed your professional skills. Everything you practise can be applied directly in your organisation — your actual strategic work is your proving ground.

Is This Programme Right for You?

This programme is the final step on the Scrum Alliance Product Owner track. It is for senior practitioners who want to validate their organisational strategy skills and reach the highest professional level of certification.

Advanced Product Owners

Seeking the pinnacle of the Scrum Alliance certification track and a credential that reflects genuine mastery at organisational and strategic level.

Senior Product Leaders, Heads of Product & Product Directors

Who want to formalise their organisational strategy and complex stakeholder skills with the highest-level Product Owner credential available.

Agile Coaches & Consultants

Who want to validate their product leadership expertise and deepen their ability to advise clients at strategic and organisational level.

Anyone Who Learns by Doing

Where real organisational outcomes matter more than passing a test. If you're looking for a 2-day classroom event, this programme isn't for you — this is something better.

Rickard Jones — Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) at Agile Affinity

Rickard Jones

CST · Certified Team Coach (CTC) · LeSS Trainer · ICAgile Trainer · Co-Author of the AgileHR Manifesto · 20+ years

Rickard has over two decades of experience coaching organisations, teams, and individuals through complex agile transformations. A former XP developer, programme manager, and transformation lead, he operates at strategic and organisational level every day — the same level this programme is designed to develop. He is a co-author of the AgileHR Manifesto and an international conference speaker. When you bring a product strategy challenge to a session, Rickard has almost certainly been navigating something similar with a client that week.

Why Train with Agile Affinity?

Boutique, Not a Factory

Small cohorts, personal attention, and your trainer present every session. We cap group sizes deliberately — you're not a seat number here.

A Practitioner Who Coaches Daily

Rickard coaches real organisations at strategic level every week. He doesn't teach theory; he shares what worked last Tuesday — in the field, with real clients.

A Community, Not Just a Course

We run the Scrum Event (Europe's largest SA meetup), Agile Coach Camp UK, and the Kanban Coaching Exchange. Your network grows long after you certify.

750+ Certified. Since 2019.

Established, trusted, and consistently rated 4.9 on Google. We've been doing this long enough to know what actually develops great Product Leaders.

Why Agile Affinity?

Agile Affinity has served the agile community since 2019, certifying over 750 practitioners a year across Scrum Alliance and ICAgile programmes. We run Scrum Event — the largest Scrum Alliance meetup in Europe — alongside the Kanban Coaching Exchange, the Agile Coaching Exchange, and Agile Coach Camp UK. When you train with us, you're joining a community of practitioners — not just attending a course.

Rickard is a practitioner first. He coaches product organisations and leads agile transformations every week — at the same strategic and organisational level the CSP-PO® is designed to develop. When you bring a complex stakeholder challenge or a product strategy question to a session, he's navigated something similar with a real client recently. That's the level of grounding you get — not conference keynote wisdom, but last week's fieldwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites for the CSP-PO® programme?

You'll need an A-CSPO® certification — it doesn't need to be active. To receive your CSP-PO® credential, you'll also need at least 24 months of Product Owner experience logged in your Scrum Alliance profile. You can begin the programme before reaching 24 months and complete that requirement along the way. Completing your CSP-PO® also renews all your Scrum Alliance certifications for two years.

Is there an exam?

No. There are no written tests or exams. You earn your CSP-PO® by completing the programme requirements: attending at least four mentoring sessions, completing your professional learning log, and having it peer-reviewed. Your trainer looks for evidence that you can apply what you've learned at organisational and strategic level.

When can I start? How long do I have to finish?

You can start immediately after registering. If you see a "start date" on the Scrum Alliance website, those are marker dates due to how their system works. You have up to 6 months to complete the programme, and you go at your own pace — completing in as little as 6 weeks depending on your schedule.

How many people will be in the group?

Because the programme runs on a rolling basis, numbers vary from session to session — but we deliberately keep it small so every session is a genuine professional discussion, not a webinar. You'll know the other practitioners by name and work with a consistent group through your fortnightly sessions.

Are the sessions recorded?

No. Sessions are not recorded. If you miss a session, the fortnightly rolling format means you simply attend the next one — you won't lose progress. You must attend a minimum of four sessions overall to complete the programme.

Can I take a break if something comes up?

Yes. Life happens. You can pause and resume as needed within your 6-month window. Just let us know and we'll pick back up whenever you're ready. There's no penalty for taking a break.

What's the best way to approach the learning log?

Treat it as a professional development record woven into your real work. The format is entirely yours — written notes, slide decks, video reflections, sketches, whatever helps you communicate that learning. The hope is that everything you practise in this programme is something you can apply directly in your organisation, so your actual strategic work becomes your proving ground.

Can my employer pay, or can I get a corporate invoice?

Yes. Select "Pay by Bank Transfer" at checkout on AgileAffinity.com and an invoice will be generated automatically. Payment must be received before joining instructions are sent. For larger corporate bookings or bespoke requirements, contact us at [email protected].

What's your refund policy?

We offer a 14-day FULL refund guarantee. If you're not satisfied within 14 days of joining the programme, contact us at [email protected] and we'll refund your full fee — no questions asked. Your success is our priority.

What software do I need?

A laptop or PC with a stable internet connection, webcam, and microphone. Sessions are delivered via Zoom. Full details of any additional tools will be sent with your joining instructions after registration.
