Professional Scrum Product Owner
PSPO I is a training course designed to help you build strong skills in Agile Product Management, Product Backlog management, stakeholder collaboration, value delivery, and Scrum.org certification preparation. You’ll learn how Professional Scrum supports Product Owners in making better product decisions, working effectively with stakeholders, and maximizing the value delivered by their products.
Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) is designed for Product Owners, product managers, business analysts, Scrum Masters, and leaders who want to turn product strategy into measurable value.
In this hands-on Product Owner training, you’ll learn how to apply Agile Product Management, collaborate effectively with stakeholders, create a clear product vision, and manage a Product Backlog that helps teams stay focused on outcomes, not just output.
Over two practical days, the course explores the Scrum Framework through the lens of the Product Owner. You’ll build stronger decision-making skills around value, priorities, forecasting, and release planning, while working through interactive exercises and realistic product scenarios. By the end, you’ll have practical techniques you can apply right away in your organization.
This Professional Scrum Product Owner course also prepares you for the PSPO I certification from Scrum.org. You’ll deepen your understanding of Product Ownership, business agility, and value-driven product development, while learning how to align customers, stakeholders, and Scrum Teams around the work that matters most.
For anyone looking for a Product Owner/Product Manager training that combines PSPO I certification preparation with concrete product thinking, this course provides a strong foundation.

What participants say
Mostly exercises, not slides
"Most of the two days was small-group work. I tried the backlog ordering approach during refinement that same week and it stuck."
Easier to explain priorities upstairs
"Leadership kept asking for dates before we agreed on value. PSPO gave me a simple way to frame trade-offs in our steering meetings."
We changed how we run Sprint Planning
"We left with a clearer Product Goal conversation. The team tried a lighter planning format in the sprint after."
