Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner Workshop (A-CSPO)

This is a hands on workshop offering the Advanced Certified Product Owner course with certification from the Scrum Alliance, plus a toolkit full of product discovery, design and development skills to help kickstart your next product idea.

You can apply these concepts immediately following the workshop to deliver results to your customers and end users.

As an attendee you will:

• Understand how to rally your team with a compelling vision, communicating this effectively to teammates, stakeholders, and clients.
• Learn how to break down the silos and stagnation between design and development, regardless of your organizational structure.
• Participate in gamified Lean and Agile product development exercises to reduce waste and prevent sprints from turning into a constant pressure cooker.
• Create a culture of ongoing customer discovery together with your teams in order to build great products that delight your customers.
• Leverage the tools learned to optimize value creation and customer satisfaction. You'll be able to create a realistic release plan, stock the product backlog with valuable user stories and refined requirements.

"This goes well beyond just another PMP or Scrum course"

Previous attendees have included everyone from 10-year Product veterans to those working with a development team for the first time, and even HR professionals supporting Agile practices. Ideally you are currently working with a product development team, or want to, and are familiar with the basics of Lean and Agile product development. If you are just getting started in this area, you will be provided a bit of pre-work to help you catch up with a number of the concepts being explored during the workshop.

Day 1: Laying the foundation

We begin with data gathering looking for a real-world challenge designed to simulate impactful product discovery with immediate application.

Before building, we will test your designs and ideas with users, dentify potential issues early. Fast learning!

We'll have a solid hour for lunch to avoid zoom fatigue!

After lunch we'll go into prototyping: AI-enhanced design tools are fair game here! The idea is to rapidly create and test a prototype . Rapidly create, iterate, and test prototypes, allowing you to validate ideas and optimize functionality before moving into development.

We'll close the day diving into our customer's journey. What will we need to really support this customer?

Day 2: Building the house

We'll begin the day with testing and iterating on our cusotmer journeys.

Next, we'll create our Business Model to help us take this prototype to the next level.

We’ll focus next on enhancing our product strategy to better frame problems, generate insights, and make data-driven decisions.

After lunch, we’ll have the opportunity to iterate on our product based on initial (real!) customer feedback.
