About

Get a holistic understanding of the Scrum framework, its roles, and key elements.

Product owners have a unique and demanding role on agile teams. A product owner decides what the team will create next in order to deliver more value to the customer. In a Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO®) class, you'll learn the framework, principles, and values that make scrum work, plus key skills and tools you need to be effective. You will discover how to juggle multiple stakeholders’ needs, get hands-on practice creating a product vision, and learn new ways to get to know your customers so that you can choose the right next piece of value to bring to market for them.

Product owners are in demand—and with the most recognized product owner certification in the industry, you can be too. Best of all, as a Scrum Alliance member, you can tap into a community network that extends far beyond the classroom through events, resources, education, and coaching. Get started today by finding the trainer and class that best match your needs.

Whatever your goal, as a member of the Scrum Alliance community, you have access to the help you need. Sometimes that looks like earning a more advanced certification. Other times, that help looks like a proprietary product owner improvement tool, members-only access to experts at events, practical how-tos and content reserved just for active Certified Scrum Product Owners like you, and much more.

Certified Scrum Product Owner training gives you what you need to get a job — and access to everything you need to succeed in getting that job done!
