Why the CSPO Credential Is Worth Earning
Skills That Employers Value
For Individuals
CSPO training helps professionals build the practical capability to own a product and maximise its value within a Scrum team. The course suits aspiring product owners, product managers, business analysts and stakeholders who want a recognised credential and a clear understanding of the role. Whether you are stepping into product ownership for the first time, formalising experience you already have, or moving from traditional product or project management, the training builds skills aligned with what employers expect.
If you want to lead product direction with a globally recognised credential, the CSPO is a clear first step. You gain backlog management knowledge, stakeholder engagement technique, and a two-year Scrum Alliance membership that employers across New Zealand value.

Skills You Will Build as a Product Owner
Capabilities You Apply at Work
Skills covered in CSPO training include product vision, Product Goal setting, Product Backlog management, stakeholder engagement and release planning. By the end of the course, you can own a product and maximise the value it delivers within a Scrum team.
Scrum from the Product Owner's View
Skills covered in CSPO training begin with Scrum theory: empiricism, the three pillars of transparency, inspection and adaptation, and the Scrum values, all seen through the lens of the Product Owner accountability.
Own the Product Owner Accountability
Understand how the Product Owner differs from a product or project manager, hold decision-making authority over the backlog, and collaborate effectively with developers and the Scrum Master.
Define Product Vision and Product Goal
Craft a compelling product vision, set a Product Goal as the backlog commitment under the current Scrum Guide, and build a roadmap that connects long-term direction to each Sprint.
Manage and Order the Product Backlog
Write effective user stories using INVEST, refine the backlog, and order items by value, risk and dependencies with techniques such as MoSCoW, cost of delay and the Kano model.
Engage Stakeholders and Maximise Value
Identify stakeholders, run productive Sprint Reviews, capture the voice of the customer, and define and measure the value each Increment delivers to the business and its users.
Plan Releases and Forecast Delivery
Apply velocity-based forecasting, MVP and minimal marketable feature thinking, and incremental delivery to plan releases and communicate honest forecasts to stakeholders.
