Learn to maximize value as a Product Owner

Being a professional Product Owner encompasses more than writing requirements or managing a Product Backlog. Product Owners need to have a concrete understanding of all product management aspects that drive value from their products. This includes but is not limited to product ownership.

Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) is a 2-day Scrum.org certified course that focuses on all of these areas. It teaches you how to maximize the value of your product. PSPO is the cutting-edge course for Product Owners, Agile product managers and anyone responsible for a product’s success in the market.

What you will learn during the PSPO course

Over the 2 days, you develop and solidify your knowledge of being a Product Owner. We will do this 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. For example, we will identify metrics to measure value. And we will cover ways to align your product vision with the business strategy and company vision.

This PSPO course is much more than just a set of slides and an instructor. It is made up of discussions and hands-on exercises. And they are based on real-life cases you can relate to. Additionally there is a lot of space to bring in your own challenges. As a result, you will be able to use the theory to resolve complex challenges at your own workplace.

PSPO course topics

  • Agile Product Management
  • Value-Driven Development
  • Scrum Principles & Empiricism
  • The Scrum Framework
  • Product Backlog Management
  • Release Management

Professional Scrum Product Owner certification

All participants completing the PSPO course receive one password to take the PSPO I assessment. PSPO class participants who attempt the PSPO I assessment within 14 days of receiving their free password and do not score at least 85% will be granted a 2nd attempt at no additional cost. As a student of the PSPO class, you are also entitled to a discount on the PSPO II assessment.

What my former students say

“The training itself was setup as a Scrum Sprint, all topics were handled as Product Backlog Items, the training schedule was the roadmap, and so on. Not your everyday Powerpoint slide training, there was even no Powerpoint at all. Great! And on top of that, Matthijs is an experienced Product Owner so he knows what he’s talking about. Learn Scrum from the best, learn from Matthijs.”
Gert-Jan van Kempen – Product Owner AI for Employees at ABN AMRO

“I participated in Professional Scrum Product Owner Training which was facilitated by Matthijs. This was the best content and facilitated training that I have ever had. Matthijs balanced the complexity of the material with the need to handle questions from the delegates in a flexible and enjoyable way. Far from the normal “dry” training that I have had in the past.”
Fraser Hill – Digital Executive Leader at Shell

Your PSPO trainer: Matthijs de Booij

My mission: inspiring others to discover new ways of working.

I have provided 100+ training courses and workshops in the fields of Scrum, Agile Product Development, and Kanban. Over the years, I have advised and coached 15+ different organizations within various industries from banking to healthcare. Before becoming an external consultant, trainer, and coach, I have been 5+ years part of different Scrum Teams. During that time I have been a Development Team member, Product Owner, and Scrum Master.

As an official Scrum.org licensed Professional Scrum Trainer (PST) and Accredited Kanban Trainer, I am trusted by the creators of Scrum and the Kanban Method to create the best possible foundation you can build on in practice.

My training courses are characterized by minimizing use of Powerpoint slides. Instead, I maximize the use of visualizations on flip charts. These visualizations will help you recollect the lessons learned through the exercises we did, the conversations we had, and your reflections throughout the training course.

I believe that the best way to deliver a training course is to lead by example. That is why I apply the values and principles from the Agile Manifesto on the training course. I practice what I preach.

Small class sizes

My training courses have a maximum of 10 students. This has the following benefits for you:

  • A more personal experience for you as a student
  • Contributes to an environment of trust and openness
  • Easier for everyone to feel comfortable
  • More space to bring in your own challenges from your workplace
  • More space to learn from the experience of the other students

"Well-designed PSPO course with a lot of supplementary information (and not only "how to pass the test") - emphasis on how to apply scrum in the role of PO.

"The PSPO training was informative and inspiring. Xaveer is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and how to apply it from a practical standpoint.
The course itself consisted of an engaging mix of theory and interactive group exercises; enabling you to absorb the subject matter quickly by applying it yourself and discussing it with peers.
The method in which the theory was presented also provided a good insight in the progress of the course and made it very easy to revisit earlier topics when needed to further solidify ones understanding.
Highly recommended." - 2022-04-25 09:35

It is a pleasant, interactive training in which Matthijs constantly uses visual representations to make it easy to understand and follow.

Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO / PSPO I) - English

"Awesome PSPO Training!
Our goal in this Training was to understand how to maximizing value with Scrum.
On this journey we discovered
how important trust in self-organization is,
that quality is key to long term success,
that in complex work you can not copy and past practices and assume you are magically successful in product development
and that empiricism should always guide your decision making.
Along the way, we had lots of great conversations.
Why agility is important?
Should the Product Owner be technical?
What are good characteristics of a Product Backlog?

Matthijs is a fantastic trainer who helped us archive this goal! With his knowledge and experience in Scrum, he inspired us to uncover new ways of working.
I would not only recommend the training to Product Owner but also to Scrum Masters who are seeking for ways to help and support their Product Owners in maximizing value." - 2020-05-29 06:22

Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO / PSPO I) - English

"It is rare to find a trainer that is as passionate about his mission as Matthijs and as gifted for being able to teach people.

He cleverly embeds the Agile framework within his training, making the chapters = product roadmap, the topics = backlog and constantly going through a learning loop and revising it throughout the delivery. You don't only learn Scrum, you actually see it happening in front of you.

And get this - almost 0 slides. He instead draws all the artefacts he uses to teach on flipchart paper. It's amazing how much easier to focus everything becomes when it's a drawing exercise, rather than a boring slide.

Whenever you're not going to be analysing things through his drawings or learning from his real-life examples, you are actually going to spend a lot of time in DYI exercises like: Lean Canvas & Story Mapping.

At the end of the training, you feel like the past 2 days perfectly balanced the SCRUM PSPO content with the real-life situations that you might encounter. Brilliantly designed and delivered. And since he uses Agile day-to-day, I expect this training to actually get better by the time you(hello, person reading this) take it. " - 2019-10-16 15:13
