About the course
The Professional Scrum Product Owner (PSPO) certification by Scrum.org is a globally recognized credential designed for individuals who want to excel in the Product Owner role within Scrum teams. This certification focuses on equipping candidates with the knowledge and skills needed to manage product backlogs, prioritize work effectively, and maximize product value.
There are many myths and misconceptions about the role of the Product Owner. The accountabilities of the Product Owner, however, go well beyond managing the Product Backlog and writing User Stories. The Product Owner is pivotal to bridging business strategy and product execution to help the Scrum Team create valuable products.
