Course description

Professional Scrum Product Owner™ (PSPO)– 2 days training.

The Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) certification by Scrum.org is a globally recognized credential designed for individuals who want to excel in the Product Owner role within Scrum teams. This certification focuses on equipping candidates with the knowledge and skills needed to manage product backlogs, prioritize work effectively, and maximize product value.

There are many myths and misconceptions about the role of the Product Owner. The accountabilities of the Product Owner, however, go well beyond managing the Product Backlog and writing User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.

In this two day class students will develop and solidify their knowledge of the Scrum framework and the accountabilities of being a Product Owner through instruction and team-based exercises. Students learn techniques that they can use to help them overcome the challenges that are often encountered on a day-to-day basis. They will do this while learning better ways to work with the organization, stakeholders, customers and their team to provide greater value in the product being delivered.
