Certified Scrum Product Owner Training

The Product Owner is key to the success of any Scrum Team. The Product Owner prioritises the work of the Scrum Team in order to maximise return on investment.

The Scrum Product Owner bridges the gap between clients and businesses by providing vision and guidance for the Scrum Team.

This 2-day Scrum Product Owner Certification Course utilises a mixture of practical exercises, case studies and discussions to provide delegates with the necessary knowledge that a Scrum Product Owner needs to be able to propel a successful Scrum Project.

On completing the Scrum Product Owner Course, delegates will become a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO). CSPO's are given two years of membership to the Scrum Alliance. This allows access to additional materials and information.

We also offer Certified ScrumMaster Training for those who want to take on the role of the ScrumMaster.

We also provide private and in-company Certified Scrum Product Owner courses. Call +44 (0) 1273 622272 to discuss.
