Professional Scrum Product Owner™ Certifications
- Validate and certify their understanding of the accountabilities of the Product Owner
What is a Professional Scrum Product Owner™
Professional Scrum Product Owners demonstrate the knowledge and understanding of Scrum, the Product Owner role and their ability to apply that knowledge in real-world situations. The value of certification is intimately tied to the demonstration of knowledge needed to achieve it. By that measure, the PSPO assessments are significantly more valuable than available alternatives for Scrum Product Ownership. And, we strive to ensure that they remain valuable and relevant through frequent inspection and adaptation of the assessment content.
Course Overview
The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution in order to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.
The Professional Scrum Product Owner™ (PSPO I) certification validates your knowledge of the Scrum framework and your ability to support and enable value creation and delivery.
Earning PSPO I shows your understanding of how to bridge the gap between strategy and agile product management in order to create valuable products using Scrum.
