This course is perfect for leaders working in:
Program Management and Project Management
Engineering and Testing
IT and Technical Operations
Design and User Experience
Product Management
Marketing
Business Analysis
Executives and Management
Risk and Compliance
Sales/Customer Service
HR/Operations
Something to know: About 20% of all public CSMs & CSPOs have more than 40 people enrolled. That's not us.
Our workshops are designed to be interactive in nature. There are breakout exercises roughly every hour for students to practice and apply concepts in “table teams” of a few people rather than in a plenary (whole class) session. Our public class enrollments are generally below the average course size of 16. This helps you get rich feedback and interaction from other participants and your trainer.
Our aim is that you have an engaging and practical experience - not just learn concepts and pass a test. Our intent is that the workshop leaves you feeling eager, excited, and confident about putting the tips, techniques, and frameworks into practice.
