Certified Product Owner in Scrum (CSPO)

As a participant in this training, you get a practical insight into the role of product owner in Scrum and how you, together with the ScrumMaster, lead one or more agile, flexible, development teams and collaborate in an agile organization.

As a product owner in Scrum, you manage the project or development work yourself instead of relying on a project manager, and have an agile coach (ScrumMaster) to help you, who helps the team work efficiently and supports collaboration within and outside the team.

Exercises, case studies and examples are used to give a concrete idea of ​​this professional role.

By connecting product management with product development, Scrum reduces the gap that has traditionally existed between the market and technology/development side in many businesses.

CSPO is a standardized course originally developed by the Scrum Alliance. This course has been further developed by Mikael Lundgren, based on the course leader's own experiences, with support and inspiration from Ken Schwaber, Mike Cohn, Stefan Bükk, Don Reinertsen and others.
