Need help deciding?
Schedule a 15 mins call with one of our Certified Scrum Trainers before the course. Iron out any questions or concerns you might have.
Our CSPO training will challenge you to put theory into practice through a variety of exercises and simulations, and to think through your own product ideas for yourself. As well as learning a range of techniques you’ll also gain a deeper understanding of Scrum and agile principles – not just the how but the why. It’s a potent foundation for working with Scrum and agile in your own organisation.
We also introduce AI, looking at how it is influencing product ownership and early product discovery. Through light-touch discussions and real examples, you’ll reflect on how AI is impacting your world and how it may shape the future of product development.
A one-to-one coaching session is included as part of the course, offering a valuable opportunity to reflect and challenge yourself as you grow into an even more effective Product Owner
