Training Path to Product Owner (CSPO)

What do you mean that you are "doing" an agile software development course? Teaching one? Building one? Taking one?
Scrum.org offers probably the best product owner course, teaching it from a business and value point of view. It is called the Professional Scrum Product Owner course.

If you mean you are planning to become a Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) I can advise you to become a Professional Scrum Master (PSM) first. This will give you the Scrum basics.

Then get acquainted with https://www.scrum.org/Courses/Professional-Scrum-Product-Owner/PSPO-Sub…. These books will give excellent pointers to value driven S/W development. And take the exam.

Hi Kevin,

Good to read that you're considering classroom training in your path to agility.

All courses will cover the fundamentals of Scrum. As mentioned by Ken, the Product Owner course via Scrum.Org is known as the "Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO)" -- it also offers a level 2 certification, if interested. Details at -- https://www.scrum.org/Courses/Professional-Scrum-Product-Owner

If you wish to validate your knowledge in this area, without classroom training, a $200 online assessment is also available.

In contrast the CSPO, as referenced by your subject line, is offered by the ScrumAlliance. To be certified, there is a mandatory 2-day course needed. At the end, there isn't an assessment and one is automatically certified.

There are pros and cons to both approaches -- I would encourage you to think what makes sense to you, and what is valued at your place of work. Both will allow you to register, assuming you are familiar with the fundamentals of Scrum.

I have several certifications and am not affiliated with either certifying bodies. If you'd like to connect via e-mail / LinkedIn, feel free to reach out. I also have a deck comparing several certifications and have presented it in the local community as a volunteer. This includes (briefly) contrasting developer certifications.

Good luck in your path ahead...

Ken,

I have taken PSM assessment recently and cleared, I have 4 yrs of experience in Agile methodologies especially Scrum framework.

I tried SPS though I have some experience in scaling scrum and read nexus guide, I cud not clear the test and failed, another attempt possible?

I m planning to take PSPO I/ I have read Agile product management book suggested in scrum.org and reading couple of other books, have taken PO open assessment and cleared

Safe to take PSPO I?

Which area I have to concentrate more?

Pls advise

I would recommend attending a PSPO training session before going for the exam. Or you should have worked as a PO for sometime.

SPS is really tough so don't take it easy.

Hi

I cleared SPS. I have 4 yrs of experience in Agile as a Scrum Master.. Now I have been prpeparing for PO assessment. I had posted an other question on PO in other forum here
