    What Is the Certified Scrum Product Owner Certification?Your Route into Product Ownership

    The Certified Scrum Product Owner (CSPO) is a Scrum Alliance credential that teaches the Scrum framework from the Product Owner's perspective, covering product vision, Product Backlog management and value maximisation. It is awarded on successful completion of an approved course delivered by a Certified Scrum Trainer, with no examination required.

The Product Owner role sits at the heart of value-driven delivery, and skilled, certified professionals remain scarce relative to the engineering talent pool. Demand spans Product Owner, product manager and backlog owner roles in Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya, and here is what the market is telling us now.
