How do I become a Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®)?

A Certified Scrum Product Owner® is responsible for maximizing the value of the product resulting from work of the Development Team. If you’re someone who is comfortable with the “business side” of projects, you are probably the right person to aim for a Certified Scrum Product Owner® (CSPO®) certification. While the Scrum Master helps the Scrum Team work together to learn and implement Scrum, the Product Owner creates a product vision, order the product backlog, and makes sure the best possible job is done to delight the customers and other stakeholders.

The first step toward earning a CSPO certification is to take a Certified Scrum Product Owner course with one of our certified trainers or coaches. It is a two-day (16 hour), in-person course that will teach you about the Scrum framework and how to become a successful Product Owner. After completing the course, you will have an account created on our website where you will be able to download and print a copy of your CSPO certification. At this time, there is no test requirement to earn a CSPO certification.

Your CSPO course registration payment includes the following:

• The two-day (16 hour,) in-person course
• Access to your Scrum Alliance certification account where you can access your CSPO certification
• A complimentary two-year membership with Scrum Alliance®
• Training materials such as workbooks, presentations, and/or online resources as provided by the trainer/coach and Registered Education Provider. For more information about what is included with your course payment, please read the description for the CSPO class you're interested in attending

There are no prerequisite requirements for attending a CSPO course, although we suggest to review The Scrum Guide and our eLearning Series for those who are new to learning Scrum. Instructors may also require students to prepare for the course by reviewing specific learning materials, such as an article or video about Scrum. This requirement will be specified by email upon registering for your CSPO course.
