Certified Scrum Product Owner

Course description:

The Certified Scrum Product Owner Course (CSPO) prepares participants to serve their teams by establishing a solid, baseline understanding of the Scrum framework and the Product Owner’s role within that context. As you watch the product take shape, iteration after iteration, you can restructure the Product Backlog to incorporate your insights or respond to changes in business conditions. The Certified Scrum Product Owner course equips you with what you need to achieve success with Scrum.
Intuitive and lightweight, the Scrum process delivers completed increments of the product at rapid, regular intervals.
Following successful completion of the course, each participant will be designated a Certified Scrum Product Owner. This certification includes a two-year membership in the Scrum Alliance, where additional member-only material and information are available.
