Professional Scrum Product Owner

This is a two day Live Virtual Class for Product Owners or Product Managers looking to understand how to leverage Scrum to help them build a product, achieve goals and deliver more value.

The training covers Scrum Theory, the basics of the Scrum Framework, the Product mindset and how it is applied in the real world to develop complex products, with practical exercises and discussions to reinforce all the learning. You will understand what Professional Scrum is and the value-proposition of an Agile approach, which products are a good fit for Scrum and which are not!. You will also have the opportunity to validate your learning with the industry recognised PSPO I certification.

The course includes 2 days training and up to two attempts at the PSPO I Assessment for £950 + VAT.

Why you should register for this Live Virtual Class?

Who is this course aimed at?

Product Owners, product managers, consultants and anyone else interested in understanding how to leverage Scrum to develop complex products, manage change and deliver more value.

This course is online?

Yes, this course is a live "virtual" training experience using Zoom and Miro. You can take the training from the comfort of your own home in two full days, assuming you have internet!

Can a "Live Virtual Class" really compare to "in person" training?

Once I started running my first Live Virtual Class I was convinced. Some people miss the "water cooler" moments but on the flip side the energy in the breakout room discussions is amazing possible because everyone has a little more time and focus because they aren't travelling to a training venue. The overall feedback has been that the Live Virtual Class is great way to learn about Professional Scrum and many students prefer it!

How do I obtain the PSPO I (Professional Scrum Product Owner) Certification?

The course includes up to two free attempts at the PSPO I on-line Assessment. You can take this in your own time. All you need is a computer with an internet connection and a web browser and the assessment password, which is supplied by Scrum.org after you have completed the course. The assessment is an "open book" exam meaning you can have the Scrum Guide open and Google available but you need to answer 80 multiple choice questions in 60 minutes and the pass mark is 85%.

The assessment password never expires but students that attempt the assessment within 14 days of the training course and do not pass are automatically sent a 2nd password at no additional cost (and that password also never expires!).
