Advanced Certified Scrum Product Owner

YES!  For the first time, you can now receive your A-CSPO training completely online in a guided mentoring program designed by Certified Scrum Trainers (CST) specifically for Product Owners looking to achieve a deeper understanding of how product management intersects with Scrum and Agile.

This program offers A-CSPO students fast, condensed lessons combined with on-the-job application of key concepts for immediate effect.

All you need is an hour per week.  People want to know more about Scrum and Agile and how it relates to product management, but they simply do not have time to spend eight hours (or more!) in a classroom.

Our A-CSPO program is comprised of sixteen online courses, which include short lectures, engaging exercises, and useful step-by-step frameworks to test out with your team and products.

Most online training is boring and prone to distraction. Too many instructors talk for far too long about topics and theories not relevant for real-world application.

With our A-CSPO program, all our lectures are crisp (no more than fifteen minutes) and combined with practical, on-the-job exercises so you can immediately practice what you have learned.

Get ready for a powerful training approach that keeps the A-CSPO lessons short, creative, focused, and meaningful to the industry of Agile product management and software development.

Definitely! Learning works best when you are in a community, and the best learning experiences are shared.

Each month, you can dial into one or more one-hour virtual classroom sessions with your CST instructor and other students to check progress, share ideas, answer questions, offer encouragement, and give some support. In our program, you will feel like you are doing your A-CSPO journey within a team, even though it is an online program.

We welcome everybody to start the program. However, you will need to meet certain criteria to receive your A-CSPO certification:

1. A current Certified Scrum Product Owner® certification from the Scrum Alliance®.
2. 12 or more months of experience as a Product Owner within the last 5 years.
3. Attend at least four instructor-led virtual classroom sessions (you are welcome to attend more of course!).
4. Complete all the on-line modules, quizzes and assignments.
5. Bring a positive attitude and desire to make a real impact along with your team.
