Don’t Just Manage the Backlog. Lead the Product.

Scrum doesn’t need more ticket pushers. It needs Product Owners who can think strategically, act decisively, and drive outcomes that matter.

🔥 This Isn’t Just Product Ownership. It’s Product Leadership.

Too many Product Owners get thrown into the role with nothing but a backlog and a vague list of responsibilities.

This course changes that.

In our Certified Scrum Product Owner® class, you’ll learn how to:

  • Create clear, compelling product visions

  • Prioritize value under pressure

  • Engage stakeholders without getting steamrolled

  • Deliver outcomes, not just features

  • Lead with purpose, even in uncertainty

✅ Ready to Move From Order-Taker to Outcome-Driver?

This is where product leadership begins.

  • This course isn’t a lecture—it’s a hands-on strategy upgrade for modern Product Owners.

    Each session blends practical tools, expert insight, and challenges you’ll face in the real world.

    🧭 Day 1 — Lead with Vision

    Focus: DEFINE + ALIGN

    • Clarify your product’s purpose, vision, and strategic intent

    • Align teams and stakeholders around shared outcomes

    • Learn to speak value fluently—and prioritize with confidence

    • Start your journey through the Product Owner Mastery System (POMS)

    🚀 Day 2 — Lead the Work

    Focus: BUILD + DELIVER

    • Structure and sequence backlog items to reflect true strategy

    • Break features down into meaningful, testable slices

    • Navigate team delivery challenges with clarity and focus

    • Step fully into the role of decision-maker—not ticket taker

    📌 Includes discussion, hands-on exercises, and guided product thinking frameworks.

    🕒 Offered as a two-day, live experience—remote or in-person.

  • We know this might be surprising, but we don’t offer group discounts—and here’s why:

    At Artisan Agility, our classes aren’t about filling seats. They’re about developing transformational leaders who will make a real difference in their teams and organizations.

    Every student gets:

    • Direct access to the instructor

    • Personalized coaching and feedback

    • Space to contribute, challenge, and grow

    Discounting that experience—just because more people are in the room—would dilute the depth and attention that make our training so effective.

    If you’re investing in a group, you’re investing in culture change—and we’ll give every person in that room 100%.

    No shortcuts. No bulk pricing. Just meaningful growth.

  • Duration

    The CSPO experience spans two high-impact days in both in-person and remote classes.

    This isn’t training you sit through. It’s training that moves you forward.

    The CSPO is an internationally recognized credential from Scrum Alliance that validates your ability to lead product strategy in an Agile environment.
