CSP-PO Certification Training Overview

As a Certified Scrum Professional - Product Owner® (CSP-PO®), you are actively working on Organizational Improvement. You are now deeply skilled at building great teams and have built great Scrum Teams as a Scrum Product Owner and emergent leader in your organization. You have encountered numerous challenges to Great Scrum Team development and now want to take your skills to the next level.

Product Ownership is a lifelong journey. Incorporating Scrum values and Agile principles into your world of work takes diligence, patience, and a commitment to continuous improvement. With this course in our Scrum Leadership Series and years of experience through on-the-job practice, you are on your way to becoming a Scrum Leader.

Through the CSP-PO course you will explore topics on:

•  Scrum and Product Ownership 

•  Interacting with Stakeholders

•  Backlog Management

•  Refining the Work Backlog

•  Business Modeling

•  Starting a New Scrum Team

•  Scaling

•  Leadership

•  and much more!


Here's what we do: 

  • The CSP-PO is a very intense course, and our goal is to maximize our student outcomes in the 16 hours we have together.
  • 12 of those 16 hours are guided learning, where you will be working, reading, completing exercises, discussions, and so on. We guide you through 13 learning modules with great materials, discussions, and exercises. All of the Learning Objectives will be verified in 12 Contact hours while you are working through assignments that are reviewed. We facilitate this for you by review, by verifying you've completed each module before moving to the next one, and by having our admin available to you for questions.  
  • 4 of these 16 hours are Office Hours, where the Trainer does Coaching, Mentoring and Q&A based on the Students' questions and supports the LOs. In practice, the vast majority of this time is spent talking about work problems or misperceptions about agile and scrum.


We believe, and our reviews validate, that this structure provides a near-optimal learning experience for our Students. 

Training is 100% online and hosted on a learning management platform. There are no required software applications or additional training materials needed.

Learned so much

Liz

This was my first time taking a class with 3Back and I learned so much. Dan was a stellar instructor and I felt engaged the whole time. I am so thankful it wasn't just hours upon hours of sitting and listening to someone speak AT me. The way the course was designed enabled me to fully engage with the material.

As an entrepreneur at a young age, Doug Shimp was practicing agile before he knew the meaning of the word. Leading a business required extreme teamwork, rapid feedback loops, and daily stand-ups to get the job done to stakeholder specifications on time and under budget. Doug learned the value of the Scrum framework from the ground up. Fortune 50 companies, small start-ups, and every business in between have reaped the benefits of face time with Doug. His robust, hands-on training creates momentum for teams to apply Scrum to their real world of work.
