NEW: AI-powered exercises in all CSPO classes!

We’re excited to introduce our custom-built AI tools to help you work faster and more effectively during the class. You’ll use Mountain Goat Software’s exclusive story-splitting AI to break down big stories and refine them quickly—saving time and effort during backlog refinement. You’ll also turn a vision statement into clear product goals with AI, then review and refine them to align with your strategy.

By choosing this class you also get the unique bonus of more than 3 hours of pre-training videos. Written and delivered by Mike Cohn, Co-Founder of the Scrum Alliance, they're delivered in 5-10 minute lessons making them easy to work through.

These videos make it simple to prepare for the class, giving you a solid understanding of the scrum framework. And with lifetime access, you can refer to them as many times as needed when the class is over. These are the only courses designed by Mike Cohn, co-founder of the Scrum Alliance, and author of Succeeding with Agile, User Stories Applied, and Agile Estimating and Planning.

Product Owners are responsible for pointing teams toward the right targets, and Product Owner certification ensures you have the right skills to guide your team. Since more than half of all projects fail in a traditional project management environment, and the successful products include functionality that's rarely or never used, you won't want to miss this course to equip you for success! Attend this course to earn Certified Scrum Product Owner designation, 16 PDUs and 16 SEUs.

This course was very helpful for beginners, as well as for seasoned professionals. Highly recommend Mountain Goat Software scrum product owner course!

Brian was engaging and personable. Thanks so much!

Course material was very helpful. Instructor was knowledgeable, relatable and very good at explaining the material.

Excellent course with many exercises. It was time boxed and moved along in a professional fashion. Collaboration and teamwork were encouraged. I learned a lot.

Brian Milner is an exceptional instructor whose professionalism and real-world expertise truly set him apart. His deep understanding of Agile projects and organizational transformations, drawn from diverse experiences across companies of all sizes, brought invaluable insights to the classroom. My first experience with Brian was in the Certified ScrumMaster course, which was so well-paced, interactive, and insightful that I immediately signed up for the Certified Scrum Product Owner course with him afterward. His ability to make complex concepts accessible and relatable ensures a rewarding learning experience for anyone pursuing Agile certifications.

Ease of use and tools that worked seamlessly for everyone to participate remotely. Simple illustrations, great software!

This was a good mix of education and exercises.I learned how to be a successful Product Owner.

Great class

I really enjoyed the CSPO course taught by Brian Milner. He is an excellent instructor, and does a great job in weaving lecture components, group exercises, and class discussion into his agenda. I also appreciated he took extra time during breaks and after class to do open Q&A with the students so those who were interested could deep dive into specific topics without breaking the pace of the on-going class. Also the custom-built collaboration platform he used during the course made it very easy to access course materials, participate in team exercises, and network with other team members. I would highly recommend any course taught by Brian Milner or any course offered by Mountain Goat Software.

The instructor for this course was very knowledgeable and helpful. He facilitated great discussions with the group and used real world examples to help us understand the material.
