Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®)
What is a product owner?
A product owner:
- Defines the product vision
- Manages the product backlog
- Bridges the gap between stakeholders and product developers
- Makes decisions about trade-offs
- Makes decisions about order and scope
- Maximizes the value of the product
- Tirelessly keeps the customer at the center of what they do
A product owner is a member of a scrum team, along with a scrum master and the developers who create the product.
Successful product owners embody strong leadership qualities, marked by exceptional communication skills, empathy, and adaptability. Their ability to navigate evolving customer needs and market dynamics is fundamental to the role, striving toward products that exceed expectations.
Certified Scrum Product Owner is a globally recognized certification from Scrum Alliance. Earning the CSPO means you have validated scrum knowledge and understand the product owner accountability on a scrum team.
Earning the CSPO opens the door to the Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO) and Certified Scrum Professional® – Product Owner (CSP®-PO). Pursue the full path if you want to be recognized as a product ownership professional who can drive outstanding results for your customers and your organization, or if you want to become an agile coach or trainer.
In the CSPO course, learning objectives cover the framework, principles, and values that make scrum work, plus key skills and tools you need to be effective.
You will discover how to juggle multiple stakeholders’ needs, get hands-on practice creating a product vision, and learn new ways to get to know your customers so that you can choose the right increment of value to bring to market next. The course centers on mastering agile principles, fostering collaborative teamwork, and managing the product backlog.
