A-CSPO Advanced Certified Product Owner Course

A-CSPO - Advanced Certified Product Owner course expands the competencies and knowledge of Product Owners with at least one year of experience in Scrum. During the class, we build on top of situations from the participants, reflect on their environment, and practice cooperation with stakeholders, product innovation, refinement facilitation, and the creation of a roadmap.

“Great Product Owners know how to effectively communicate, negotiate, and prioritize the Backlog. They are able to define the vision and product goals.”

It's not any boring PowerPoint class, it's an interactive workshop focusing on practical tools for working with stakeholders, creating backlog items, and backlog prioritization. It's full of simulations, conversations, and experience sharing. 

You will meet experienced people who are on the great ScrumMaster journey, you find friends who will support you even after the class, as the class is just the beginning and the participants will organize coaching circles to support each other and enhance their learning. 

The class is part of the Great ScrumMaster Academy Program. The class is trained by Scrum Alliance certified trainer CST and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
