Product Ownership is about parenting....

It’s an art, science and engineering all combined into one...!!!

But, Do you have the skills required to make a difference…

To build the product which creates value for the customers….

To understand what your customers want and help your team translate into that awesome product.!!

It’s about time you go to the next level of Product Owner role and not just grow yourself but help your team and organization use Agile philosophy, principles and values to build the best product which was ever created

The ScrumAlliance Advanced Certified Product Owner course (A-CSPO) certification helps you to grow you skills as a Product Owner and work with team, stakeholders and business owners to build an ever evolving quality product. It helps you strengthen your role as a Product Owner by taking you through advanced concepts of Stakeholder Management, Product Backlog Management, working with Developers and also using Scrum in a Scaled Environment (Scaling Scrum or Scaled Agile is what they call it !!)

But before you join the workshop, here are a few things that you need to have:

A Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO) certification with the Scrum Alliance .
At least 12 months of work experience specific to the role of Product Owner (within the past five years) .. [No, no, not the title, the actual role… as Shakespeare said what’s in a name , a name is a name].
The zeal and skills ;) to survive the rigor of the workshop.
Eagerness to share your experience to the world and learning from others’ experiences .

But how do I know that I will get the best value for my money?

Trust Pilot rating: 4.95/5

I think Madhur was awesome. His guidance and clarity on some of the real life situations we face on a day to day basis gave us a compass to move forward. Overall, a great experience.

The overall experience was superb. Madhur Kathuria presented the whole session in a professional way with the required tools and techniques that met all of my expectations. The session was informative, interactive, and engaging clarifying what we are expected to do and Not to do. Trainer answered all our questions/ confusions we had very well. I strongly believe the overall experience will guide me well in my professional career. Thank you.

I recently completed Advanced CSPO with Madhur Kathuria. The training has truely set a new standard for me in this field. The curriculum is well-organized and presented in a way that’s easy to understand. The hands on activity during the training makes the understanding more clear and effective. What I expected most was a guidance regarding the problems I faced in managing the development and delivery of large products. The trainers experience and expertise has fulfilled my expectation and I was able to get a view of the possible problem solutions. I will go into more details of the guidance and implement to experiment further. Instructor Expertise

I think Madhur was awesome. His guidance and clarity on some of the real life situations we face on a day to day basis gave us a compass to move forward. Overall, a great experience.

The course was a good mix of practical and theoretical. It was fascinating to hear about real-life cases and to learn about the legal side of situations.

Perfect Trainer and prefect course to learn

Beneficial certification to gain.

The class was engaging and inspiring, thanks to a dynamic teacher that understood the value of open communication and the value of providing hands-on exercises balanced with theoretical knowledge.

Madhur brought a passion and enthusiasm to the discussions that we had. He was approachable, giving responsive and thoughtful answers to our inquiries. He openly welcomed disagreements, and allowed us to explore the practical applications of what we were learning through hands-on exercises.

Madhur, Thanks for the amazing learning sessions. Really Appreciate you helping understand the concepts thoroughly. Thanks for patiently answering all our queries. Highly recommend Madhur's courses.
