Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) In-Person Training

Every year, businesses launch products filled with potential, yet 95% of those products fail. Because they focus on outputs rather than outcomes. They deliver features, but not value.

As a Product Owner, your role is at the heart of this challenge. You are the catalyst who bridges the gap between customer needs, business goals, and development teams. But the question is:

• How do you ensure your product delivers real value?
• How do you move from simply “shipping features” to creating lasting customer happiness?

This journey requires more than just writing user stories or managing a backlog. It demands deep engagement, strategic thinking, and the ability to lead with impact.

As a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO), your mission is to maximize value delivery. This means embracing a mindset shift:

• Listen beyond the obvious to uncover the real needs of your customers and business.
• Frame and validate hypotheses to ensure you’re building the right thing.
• Strategically sequence work to optimize outcomes—not just outputs.

The best Product Owners don’t just manage tasks; they lead the product journey. From discovery to delivery, they are the driving force that transforms bright ideas into happy customers.

This Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Workshop is designed to help you:

• Move from theory to practice with real-world techniques you can apply immediately.
• Engage deeply in hands-on team exercises that simulate the challenges of product ownership.
• Build essential skills in a fun, supportive, and immersive environment.

Forget boring lectures and PowerPoint slides! This workshop is backed by brain science and adult learning principles, ensuring you’ll retain and apply everything you learn.

A truly powerful Product Owner skillset includes the ability to:

• Facilitate and negotiate with stakeholders (even the difficult ones!).
• Translate customer needs into actionable requirements in the product backlog.
• Support development teams through planning, development, and release cycles.
• Ensure frequent feedback loops between teams and stakeholders.
• Manage expectations from product vision to release.

These critical skills are not something you can learn from a textbook or a lecture. That’s why this workshop is intensely hands-on and interactive.

Workshop is structured around:

1. Brief concept introductions to ground your understanding.
2. Practical team exercises that simulate real-world challenges.
3. Immediate application of tools and techniques to reinforce your learning.

And designed to transform how you work as a Product Owner.

• PRACTICE over theory: You’ll gain tools you can use immediately—not just concepts to study later.
• ENGAGEMENT over lectures: You’ll participate in interactive exercises, not passive listening.
• APPLYING knowledge over gathering it: Everything you learn will be applied in real-time exercises.

In addition to mastering core product ownership skills, we’ll explore bonus topics that can elevate you from a good Product Owner to a great one:

• Generative AI for Product Owners: Leverage cutting-edge AI tools to enhance your work.
• Saying No to Stakeholders and Customers: A game-changing skill to maintain focus and value.
• Value Estimation Techniques: Prioritize work based on the impact it delivers.
• Creating a Business Case: Connect your product vision to business outcomes.
• 7 Powers to Make Your Product Uncopyable: Learn strategies to build a product that stands out in the market.
