Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO)

Learn to create the product vision, order the Product Backlog, and forge a great experience for the customer.

As we move through the disciplines promoted by Scrum you will gain a comprehensive understanding of agile product development methodology while specifically reviewing the behaviors expected of a Product Owner. While many of us may be accustomed to the practice of establishing value and priority across projects, the Product Owner needs to consider value and priority across the features of a single project.
