Advanced Certified Product Owner

DURATION 3 Days

A remote training with agile42 coaches. The course will lead to a Scrum Alliance A-CSPO certification.

Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO) training class is a 3-day learning experience for Certified Scrum Product Owners who already have at least one-year experience and want an advanced education to be able to juggle multiple business opportunities and learn how to communicate effectively across a range of stakeholders.

The A-CSPO program is the second step in the Scrum Alliance Path to CSP program and it is designed to build on your previous knowledge and experience and further enhance your skills to improve your outreach and work with your development team(s) in the most effective way possible.

The class is presented in a highly interactive and collaborative format with elements of lecture, classroom discussion, exercises, games and simulations, smoothly blended throughout the class. We will approach the class at a sustainable pace and endeavour to take breaks often, to allow our brain to stay focused and our body to recharge when necessary.

Upon completion of the class, students who have at least 1 year experience as a Product Owner will be eligible to become an Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner (A-CSPO).

Training Topics:
Deep dive in the role of the Product Owner

Different levels of Planning
Advanced Product Discovery

Roadmapping of MVPs
Advanced Backlog Building
Engineering Practices and Release Costs

The A-CSPO course is appropriate for Certified Scrum Product Owners with at least 1 year experience as a Product Owner. This is the perfect opportunity to further develop in the principles and practices of Agile Product Management, whilst taking the next step on your journey towards becoming a Certified Scrum Professional.

The course is appropriate for Certified Scrum Product Owners with at least 1 years’ experience, however, you can still attend the class if you are short of your required experience. You will only receive certification after the full 1 year is completed.

Your virtual environment:
In order to ensure a collaborative, engaging and fun environment even virtually, we are going to use a number of digital platforms.

We will use Zoom as a video conferencing platform. You can access Zoom through your browser or download the desktop application. We recommend you access through a PC/laptop with a webcam and mic or headphones.

We will use Slack as an additional messaging channel. You will get an invitation to our class Slack channel. If you do not have a Slack account, please go to https://slack.com and create one using the same mail address you used to register to the training. If you already have a Slack account with another email address and you want to use that one, let us know.

We will use Miro as an online whiteboard for digital collaboration. You will soon also get an invite to access the platform. The access is included in the training fee you paid, so it will be free of charge for the 3 days of the training.

You will receive further information and specific instructions before the training.

What our participants are saying:

“This was by far the best professional course that I’ve attended. If all were this engaging I’d attend many more. Thank you!”
— Karen R., Data Operation Manager

“I can honestly say this was hands down the best training class I have ever attended. You guys do an amazing job facilitating and keeping people interested. I am so excited to use the new tools in my toolbox for my sprint planning on Monday, and easily passed the CSM test with the knowledge I obtained in your class.”
— Stephanie C., Project Manager

“Eleven months later, what has stuck with me the most is that the training provided an expansive tool belt of techniques and concepts. I feel I can draw on the tool belt any time I need.”
— Mitchell F., Program Management Consultant

“The training reinforced for me the paradigm shift from the waterfall approach in a monolithic organization to Agile’s concept of servant leadership. Yes, I’m leading the team, but I’m here to enable your success.”
