Certified Scrum Product Owner
Who Should Attend/Prerequisites
Who Should Attend
The CSPO course is for managers, analysts, product manager, and anyone interested in how a Product Owner works with a Scrum team.
You will learn both how and why Scrum works. The course is immersive and intensive, using exercises and small-group discussions. While the course is still introductory, you will learn enough to start your first (or next) sprint almost immediately after this class.
ScrumMasters need this course, because they must coach Product Owners in these skills.
PMPs: You can receive 15 Professional Development Units (PDUs) for this course.
Prerequisites: Read one book (of 3) by Ken Schwaber. Agile Project Management with Scrum is preferred.
Class Size Limit: 25 (Minimum 6)
