Product Owners – Delivering Business Outcomes
Delivering value isn’t just about following a set of requirements or a process. It’s about engaging customers, discovering their needs, and sequencing work to optimize outcomes rather than just outputs. Product Owners are central to maximizing the flow of value produced by the product delivery teams. Not just in person, but even when the whole team is online and virtual.
If you’re ready to learn how to deliver value with Scrum in a fun and engaging way via pragmatic techniques you can apply immediately, this course is for you. From deep study of brain science and adult learning, we’ve learned what it takes to be effective in a virtual environment and avoid “Zoom fatigue.”
Learn the Nuts & Bolts of Great Product Ownership
A great PO skillset spans:
- facilitating & negotiating internal and external stakeholder needs
- translating needs into actionable requirements in the product backlog
- supporting product and project development teams throughout their planning, development and release activities
- ensuring teams and stakeholders exercise frequent feedback cycles to guide future plans
- managing expectations and projections from vision all the way through product release
Such skills are hard to learn via lecture alone – so this workshop is hands-on and interactive. This is no Powerpoint snooze fest. Short presentations cover concepts. Immersive team-based exercises are interwoven into each lesson to get you hands-on practice. Delivered in three half-day sessions, with a brief orientation and closing sessions with the instructor.
The workshop includes all the material required by the Scrum Alliance for its Certified Scrum Product Owner CSPO® certification, along with stories, tips, tricks, and practices to make your product backlog sing and your user stories tap-dance their way to "done." It lays the foundation for Business Agility using the Scrum framework.
Get a taste of the engaging instruction style you’ll experience with this short tip to help delivery effectiveness by understanding the four attributes of a product owner
By the conclusion of this dynamic workshop – you will be prepared with the skills, knowledge, and experience to not only explain Scrum to colleagues, clients or interviewers, but also to put Scrum into action with your team.
Become a catalyst for change by helping your teams and programs apply these concepts to become resilient, learning organizations able to thrive in today’s emerging markets.

How soon can I get my CSPO® certification?
On completing your participation in the full workshop, we will let the Scrum Alliance know of your successful completion of the course. You’ll receive an email from them to setup your profile on the Scrum Alliance website and then you’ll be a bonafide, official CSPO®!
Wait! Don't I Need to Take an Exam to be Certified as a CSPO®?

No. If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop. Don’t worry – if something big comes up, we’ll move you to a future workshop at no cost.
