Professional Scrum Product Owner

Professional Scrum Product Owner™ (PSPO) is a hands-on, activity-based course where students explore how Product Ownership is crucial to the success of a product. Throughout the class, students learn a number of practices that they can use once they leave the classroom.

Students will learn how Professional Scrum helps them to move from a project mindset to a product mindset.  At the end of the class students will understand how the shift in mindset and new practices can be put into action with Agile Product Management. The course also includes a free attempt at the globally recognized Professional Scrum Product Owner I (PSPO I) certification exam.

Enhanced Learning Through a Flexible 3-Day Format

This 2-day class will be delivered over three days (3 x 4.5 hours) to optimize the learning experience. By breaking the content into shorter, focused sessions, we aim to enhance retention and engagement while allowing participants to better balance their professional and personal commitments. This format also provides more time between sessions to absorb and reflect on the material, ultimately contributing to a more effective learning process.
