Professional Scrum Product Owner

22 years after the Agile Manifesto, agile is becoming a commodity. Trainings are offered all over the place. But what makes a training a good training? 

We believe that different elements contribute to a successful training, such as the trainer’s past experience, his understanding of the material and the underlying theory as well as his teaching skills. In short, the quality of the training depends on the trainer.

So, choosing a training comes down to trusting the trainer, and with Ralph (LinkedIn) you are in good hands. 

Ralph has over 24 years of experience applying agile practices and over 20 years using Scrum successfully. Ralph used Scrum internationally on two continents at blue chip organizations, onsite and distributed in various domains. Ken Schwaber himself appointed Ralph to become a trainer for Scrum.org in 2010, being one of the first 10 trainers globally. Ralph taught over 8000 students all over the world. Ralph is a regular speaker at conferences and company events and is also co-author of the best-selling book: The Professional Product Owner.

The training is limited to 6 students. An intense personal experience is guaranteed. 

Professional Scrum 

In this official certified Professional Scrum Product Owner training from Scrum.org, participants will develop and solidify their knowledge of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. The breadth of the role’s responsibilities in delivering a successful product will become more clear from an Agile perspective. Metrics are identified to track the creation of value and the successful delivery of the product to the marketplace. The PSPO course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. In this course, students work on real-life cases with other classmates together as a team. This course is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises.

Official PSPO I certification

To obtain the official Scrum.org certification, students must take the Professional Scrum Product Owner exam. This is an online exam, the costs of which are included in the price of the training (By attending the training, you will get a second complementary attempt if needed). The exam is in English. After obtaining the certificate, you may from now on call Professional Scrum Product Owner. You are also automatically a member of Scrum.org for an unlimited period of time.
