What CSPO Opens up for You
The Product Owner role has become a core part of digital delivery across South Africa, valued by banks, insurers, telcos, retailers and fintechs that run large product and transformation teams. As these organisations mature their agile ways of working, employers increasingly look for people who can own a backlog and connect it to customer value, not just facilitate ceremonies. Demand spans from product owner and business analyst roles up to product manager and head of product, and here is what the market is telling us right now.

Core Product Ownership Capabilities
This CSPO programme gives you the practical product ownership skills to own a backlog, shape product direction and maximise value. By the end, you can define a product vision, order a backlog and work with stakeholders to deliver outcomes, not just outputs.
Understand the empirical foundations of Scrum, the three pillars and the Scrum values, and learn how the Product Owner accountability differs from traditional product and project management roles.
Craft a compelling product vision and set the Product Goal as the commitment of the Product Backlog, connecting long-term direction to the work the Scrum team plans each Sprint.
Create, refine and order a Product Backlog using value, risk, dependencies and techniques such as MoSCoW and the Kano model, so the most valuable work is always clear and ready.
Write user stories from the user's perspective, apply INVEST criteria and acceptance criteria, and use story mapping to decompose epics into small, valuable and testable items.
Identify and engage stakeholders, run productive Sprint Reviews, capture the voice of the customer, and turn feedback into backlog decisions that maximise delivered value.
Plan releases in Scrum, apply MVP and minimal marketable feature thinking, and use velocity to forecast delivery while managing scope and stakeholder expectations transparently.

"Pritesh Shah is a great, knowledgeable and supportive trainer"
"The course was delivered at very high professional level. With Clear explanation of even most complex topics. The instructor was knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to support and answer questions and genuinely appreciated me as engaged participant. I'm satisfied with the training and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain practical high quality knowledge. "
"The course was highly interactive, and the materials were clear and easy to understand."
"The application of the course was easy and always kept up to date. The experience with Sathish kumar the instructor was great he was very clear , patient and always willing to give clarity where required."
"The training exceeded my expectations in every way. The balance between compact theory and core essentials made the content clear, focused, and immediately applicable. The learning kit was exceptionally well-prepared—high-quality materials, detailed visuals, exam questions, clear instructions, and an included exam voucher made it truly great value for the money. What stood out most was the trainer's (Pratap Kumar) authenticity and dedication. You could feel that he genuinely wanted us to learn and succeed. His honest, straightforward approach built trust and kept the session engaging from start to finish. I also appreciated the interactive format and real-life examples, which grounded the theory in everyday situations. Hearing Carlas’ experiences and comparing practices across companies brought in valuable perspective. I only wish more participants had been involved to deepen the experience exchange. Overall, this was a highly valuable, well-delivered training that left me motivated and well-equipped to put what I’ve learned into action. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for meaningful, real-world-focused learning."
"Mr PD Saha from Invensis Learning has been fantastic with the training. He was very thorough in explaining all the modules and always had impeccable examples to help understand the concepts easily. His lecture and guidance is extremely streamlined, well organised and clear. Invensis team has been very helpful in organising the training. Highly recommended."
"Well structured training. Liked the Part which had Agile as dedicated slide and linkages later by Trainer - Mr. Pritesh Shah. With lot of Examples at each stage. "
"In terms of content, all good. But poor time management. Time expected for breaks was never compliant (ie. if teacher said he was taking 10 mins break, it ended up being 20. For 50 mins break, teacher was showing up AT least 10-15 mins late...) Also, during second day I asked one question about a test and teacher seem disappointed for me to ask and gave me a whole speech of me not retaining all information while reading (after hours of exhausted training) also letting me know people who does not focus tend to have Low IQ... Also, having to spend time just waiting for teacher to end notes that I guess it should have been ready already for the lesson (at least, if the teacher is expecting for the alum to memorize and know everything at once) "
