Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Training (Virtual)

NextUp’s Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) training is a two-day course that provides an understanding of how Scrum transforms concepts and goals into a product backlog, user stories, and ultimately, product value. Discover how to juggle stakeholder demands, get hands-on practice developing product goals, and learn how to understand your customers better. This highly interactive class delves into creating requirements in an Agile environment, implementing effective backlog prioritization, long-term and short-term planning, and providing vision.

This course begins with an overview of the Agile and Scrum frameworks. From there, the curriculum dives into:

• What a Product Owner does and essential skills
• How to define a product goal and deliver tangible value
• Understanding product roadmaps, and product backlogs
• Creating user stories and Agile specifications
• Techniques for prioritization and backlog refinement

Upon successful completion of CSPO training, students will be credentialed as Certified Scrum Product Owners.

This course is ideal for Product Owners, business analysts, testers, project managers, and anyone involved with requirements, prioritization, gathering needs, and product management in dynamic environments. Anyone who enjoys or wants to become more familiar with the business side of projects can benefit from becoming a Certified Scrum Product Owner.
