Event Summary

If you are someone who is comfortable with the business side of projects, you are probably the right person to aspire to achieve a Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) certification. While the Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM®) helps the Scrum Team work together to learn and implement Scrum, as a CSPO, you create the product vision, order the Product Backlog, and make sure the best possible job is done to delight the customer.

In the Scrum framework, the Product Owner has three main areas of responsibility:

  • The Customer
  • The Business, and
  • The Scrum Team

In this course, we will explore the fundamentals of Agile Development and the Scrum framework, introducing you to such concepts as

  • The role and responsibilities of the Product Owner
  • Understanding product vision, strategy, and the Product Backlog
  • Understanding your customers and stakeholders
  • Building the RIGHT product
  • Managing the Product Backlog

While this is a course on the fundamentals of Scrum and the Product Owner, you’re going to learn a lot about how to build excellent, high-quality products more easily than you have ever experienced before. You will be able to improve the ROI (return on investment) of your team by focusing them on high-value features that the customer will absolutely love (and you won’t waste your team”s time building things that no one actually needs)!

Our training offers so much more!!! Through a combination of hands-on exercises and real-world stories, our students leave class ready to use Scrum to improve product development, product quality, and team productivity. Whether you are new to agile practices or a seasoned professional, you’ll leave this course with steps that you can begin using immediately to start seeing real results.

If you want to change your career and make a new start in a challenging and rewarding field, being a ScrumMaster is the way to go! Register and join us for two days packed with practical, useful, career-changing information delivered by a trainer and coach who knows what they are talking about!

“I recently took Jim’s CSM class along with two of my colleagues to become Certified Scrum Masters. The two-day course was informative and real-world practical.
