Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) Course in Charlotte, NC

Our Certified Product Owner Course + Unique Agile Release Planning Workshop approach is unique. Unlike any others, we offer a 16-hour interactive CSPO Course plus the optional 8-hour ARP Workshop.

Key: We are giving free webinars to support students after the class with all the questions that come later.

Our course gives you an applied understanding of the Scrum process and will help you develop the tools, attitudes and skills required to apply Scrum on your projects and across your organization.

We cover the basics of Scrum as well as several advanced Scrum topics to give you the knowledge, interest and motivation you need to use these ideas more effectively. You will have enough knowledge and skill to get started with Scrum and be more successful.

This is an add-on workshop. Strongly recommended by attendees. Sign up for it separately. While attendees say it is “essential,” this workshop is optional in regards to CSPO certification.

This unique workshop allows you to take real work and do Agile Release Planning with it. The workshop takes the real work of the “Product Owner” at each table, and then the team at that table does the Agile Release Planning for that work.

This is an excellent way to take the ideas of the CSPO Course and make them practical. You build the initial Product Backlog and get your team ready to start Scrum on Monday.

Upon completion of the CSPO Course (and ARP Workshop), you receive many benefits.

The main benefit, of course, is the knowledge about Scrum and Agile, which prepares you to get the business benefits of Scrum and Agile for yourself, your Team, and your Customers. We expect these benefits to be very significant.

These likely could include, directly or indirectly, a better career. And there are other benefits.

Note: To become an official CSPO you must also agree to the Scrum Alliance license agreement.

Once you become a CSPO, will receive:

• Recognition by Scrum Alliance as a CSPO (including a printable certificate)
• 24 SEUs and 24 PDUs (or 16 SEUs and 16 PDUs if you only take 16 hours)
• A two-year membership to Scrum Alliance
