Certified Scrum Product Owner®

What if you could feel confident that your product backlog holds just the right details at the right time?

• You have clarity and alignment on what the most important work is.
• Your team has the information they need to create solutions that thrill your customers.
• Your stakeholders trust your roadmaps that show your team’s trajectory for the next three, six, or even 12 months.
• You end your day feeling calm and prepared instead of stressed out that you’ve missed something important.

The best Product Owners know how to make that happen every day. And you can learn their secrets in our Certified Scrum Product Owner® workshop.

Discover how you can quickly figure out where to start, get feedback fast, and recognize what to do next. Explore a new way to think about complexity and planning. Gain the ability to identify early value and mitigate risk—even on large efforts—as you become a more effective Product Owner for any Scrum team.

Come prepared to participate! Instead of death-by-PowerPoint, Agile For All’s brain-friendly training style means you’ll dig deep into a real-world project, learn by doing, and practice your new skills. Whether in-person or live remote, Agile For All provides engaging, practice-driven training experiences.

You’ll find out how to harness complexity and change for your advantage. You’ll see how to build learning into your projects. And you’ll uncover new ways to communicate effectively with your team and stakeholders.

With successful course completion, you achieve the designation of Scrum Alliance Certified Scrum Product Owner® (and become eligible to continue on to our Advanced CSPO program).

About the CSPO Course Facilitator

Richard Lawrence’s superpower is bringing together seemingly unrelated fields and ideas to create new possibilities. Drawing on a diverse background in software development, engineering, anthropology, design, and political science, Richard trains and coaches people to collaborate more effectively with other people to solve complex, meaningful problems.

Richard created the wildly-popular "How to Split a User Story" flowchart, which has been downloaded over 1 million times and translated into several languages.

Richard is a Scrum Alliance Certified Enterprise Coach and Certified Scrum Trainer, as well as a certified trainer of the accelerated learning method, Training from the Back of the Room. His book, Behavior-Driven Development with Cucumber, was published by Addison-Wesley in 2019 (for more information, visit bddwithcucumber.com).

When he's not working with clients, you'll often find Richard cooking, playing music, practicing Muay Thai, or flying down a mountain on his mountain bike.

Private Workshops

Bring this training into your organization! Public courses are great for individuals or small groups to grow their skills in a cost-effective way. But there’s nothing like a private workshop that just includes people from your organization. Private workshops allow you to dig deep into your unique challenges and opportunities.

About Virtual Courses

Since this is a live online course, you'll need the following:

• Desktop or laptop – tablets and phones will not work for the type of experience and engagement we will create
• Camera and microphone
• Headset to filter out room noise
• Internet connectivity
• Ability to potentially download and print a multi-page workbook. We will attempt to send physical workbooks to registrants, but depending on when people register, where they’re living, and the challenges of shipping given the current world crisis, we may not be able to guarantee a physical workbook for all participants.

We want to avoid some common challenges with virtual sessions (watch this). To do this, we will be using a variety of techniques early in the class to iron out technical and tool issues.

We do ask the following from one another:

• Be willing to be on video. We’ve found the engagement to be night-and-day different when people are on video vs. when they’re not.
• Extend empathy and acceptance to other participants who may be working with family and kids at home.
• Be present while also taking care of your needs.
