What is the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®) course?

Become the voice of the customer and the owner of value with the Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) training at Simplilead. This two-day, hands-on course teaches you to shape a compelling product vision, build and order a backlog that maximises value, and partner with your team to turn ideas into outcomes — backed by the Scrum Alliance CSPO certification.

What is the CSPO course all about?

The Certified Scrum Product Owner course focuses on the decisions that make or break a product: what to build, in what order, and why. You practise writing clear product goals, slicing work into valuable increments, ordering a backlog under real constraints, and saying no well. Through exercises and case discussions you learn to balance stakeholder demands with customer value and team capacity.
